What many consider the Holy Grail of combustion technology is one step closer to prime time. In the race to field energy-efficient vehicles, don’t count out internal combustion technology just yet. GM ...

Transient Plasma Systems is working on a new advanced ignition system that could replace traditional spark plugs in gasoline engines. This could reduce emissions and improve the efficiency of internal ...

Even today, in a time when electric power is beginning to take a major hold, internal combustion engines (ICE) are the driving forces of our world. They probably won't be that for long, though, so ...

In 2019, we took a look at an interesting new advanced ignition system from Transient Plasma Systems. It replaces the conventional spark plugs in a vehicle’s engine with an ignition module that uses ...

The automotive ignition system is an incredibly amazing machine that has evolved for more than 100 years already and continues to evolve as the demand drives the need to develop more efficient engines ...

A.Here's a pressure-volume diagram for a combustion engine. Although rough, it is an approximation of the so-called air-standard cycle. '' Point (a) is at atmospheric pressure, after which the air is ...

A driver heads for his cab, jumps in, belts up and hits the starter button. It’s only 10 degrees outside, but the engine fires almost immediately, and runs quietly while he warms it up. No fuel ...
