For more than 100 years, the internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the mechanism of choice for vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Across all configurations, the principle is the same: a mix of fuel ...

The film discusses various types of engines that utilize heat energy for operation. It explains steam engines, which are reciprocating external combustion engines, and compares them to internal ...

Small, ultra-fast, primary and “afterburner” secondary combustion events promise to deliver brake thermal efficiency as high as 69 percent. A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems ...

Give it wheels and a steering mechanism, and people will try to power it with anything they can. Visionary (and not-so-visionary) tinkerers and engineers have experimented with everything from steam ...

What if the key to solving the world’s growing energy crisis already exists, quietly powering millions of homes and industries with unmatched efficiency? Enter the combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT)—a ...

The history of the gas turbine can be traced back to 150 BC, when a Greek inventor, philosopher, and geometrician, Hero, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, invented a toy called the “Aeolipile.” The toy ...
