Abstract: Free-piston linear generators (FPLG) produce electrical alternate voltages which exhibit a double frequency modulation: the lower frequency depends on the mechanical oscillation of the ...

H2CHP, a Durham University spinout developing clean electric generators for data centers and other energy-intensive sites, ...

Free-piston engines represent a class of internal combustion machines distinguished by the absence of a crankshaft mechanism, enabling variable stroke length and compression ratio, with the piston’s ...

GM has announced a new solution for customers impacted by the sweeping L87 engine recall, offering a chance to swap the naturally aspirated, gasoline-powered V8 for a more eco-friendly EV powertrain ...

There's more to piston shapes than you might think. Whether it's domed, flat, or dished, all pistons have their fair share of pros and cons when it comes to performance and efficiency. Understand that ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This linear dividing engine is ...

The story of how Honda developed an oval-piston race engine that ultimately failed but still made history along the way. Honda pioneered oval piston technology in the 1970s for four-stroke racing ...

Ferrari is exploring radical oval pistons that could shrink engines, boost efficiency, and reinvent how high-performance gas motors are designed for the next generation. For as long as internal ...

While there have been many unusual engine designs over the years, there haven't been many advancements involving the inner workings of the piston engine, except for higher-quality components, since ...

The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long; we all know that. However, some of the newest engine designs are proving to be more like firecrackers than candles, judging from the number of ...
