Under the necessary conditions of ignition and proper burn rates (cylinder pressure history), both these conditions can exist in virtually any engine. But, in particular, they certainly apply to race ...

Sebastian's spare time is spent watching Formula 1, fiddling with his friends' cars (usually German money pits), and soaking up as much architectural amazement and engineering excellence as he can ...

Formula 1 has always been at the forefront of cutting-edge automotive engineering, be it vehicle dynamics or engine tech. Unsurprisingly, the pinnacle of motorsports has seen a lot of change since the ...

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are collaborating to develop methods to detect pre-ignitions in real-time. The researchers will first use laboratory-grade ...

When your car starts making a metallic knocking sound under the hood, you'd assume it could only be one thing: the engine. However, there are two common culprits, and they're definitely not the same.

A collaboration in the US aims to create a detection system that can identify pre-ignition in hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2-ICE). The Connect project brings together a multidisciplinary ...

Aston Martin Lagonda Global has been granted a patent for a pre-combustion chamber assembly designed for spark ignition engines. This assembly features an ignition chamber that effectively removes ...
