This engine is the basis of the modern “Wankel” rotary engine. Piston powered engines, chiefly the Otto and Diesel cycle, are current kings of the internal combustion mountain. Piston powered ...

The power system proves fit for refrigerated transport and bus climate control systems and provides a clean diesel fuel alternative. The engine utilizes isothermal expansion through piston chamber ...

In our latest episode of Lexicon, we sat down with Alec Shkolnik, co-founder and CEO of LiquidPiston, to explore how revolutionary engine designs reshape power generation. Alec shared his journey ...

Liquid nitrogen is fun stuff to play with ... We’d love to see the same experiment done with a piston-type steam engine, too. Video after the break.

Description: Project BLERP aims to design and construct a reusable liquid rocket engine and launch stand that can be re-used and studied by future students at University of Colorado Boulder. The goal ...

As interesting as this concept is, it still has a long way to go before reaching production lines, not to mention its applications may be limited ...

The focus is on investigating the behavior of a complete liquid rocket cycle and its individual components in a representative test environment. Part of the project is the design, production and ...

It's rated at three horsepower at 10,000 rpm and weighs just four pounds, which is significantly lighter than the 40-pound horizontal reciprocating piston engine it's replacing in the go-kart.

The test, performed for the development of the Cosmos engine for the Zero rocket, lasted 10 seconds and showcased liquid biomethane as a sustainable rocket fuel. The combustion chamber test not ...
