Infiniti has revealed an engine concept this year, and it is of the variable compression kind. While not the first of its type as a concept, this motor might bring a new line of internal combustion ...

Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine ...

While we like to think of 2002 as being part of a high-tech age, our beloved internal combustion engine hasn't really changed much in the last 50 years. We're still using pushrods and overhead valves, ...

Most engines generate power from an internal combustion system. On the basic level, these engines work by compressing fuel and air into a tight space. Within the cylinders of an engine, pistons pump ...

The purpose of your engine is to compress fuel and air and then ignite it, creating heat energy that then makes mechanical motion. If your engine can't compress the air and fuel properly, the engine ...

When comparing engine specs for nearly any combustion engine automobile, we see a number of variations available with differing outputs of horsepower and torque. We often have a choice of gasoline or ...

If there's one question that's forever on the lips of car enthusiasts, it's how much horsepower an engine makes. Answering that question is deceptively complicated, however, because of what the term ...

With every passing day the Mule provides opportunities beyond our original expectations. Since the 467ci engine belongs to HPP editor Tom DeMauro, it is at our beck and call. This affords HPP the ...

For more than a century now, automotive engineers have struggled with an unavoidable balancing act when it comes to engine compression. Now, thanks to an innovation from Infiniti, they may get to ...
