Modern internal combustion engines — including those that run on diesel fuel — require a lot of special parts and systems to prevent dumping excess emissions into the atmosphere. Not only are those ...

Last month's "How It Works" story gave you the basics of the four-stroke cycle, describing the motion of the intake and exhaust valves in relation to the piston moving up and down in the cylinder.

Here's the process of making this rotary valve engine with a different intake and an exhaust system. It wasn't easy to start this engine and took some time to fully complete it. #shorts #diy #asmr #re ...

As we begin the last article in this series on the basics of the internal combustion engine, let's stop to review what we've covered during the last five articles. We began last May by detailIing the ...

That alone reduces emissions and increases engine longevity. The rotary valve also means that the blockages caused by conventional poppet valves are not an issue as poppet valves are not needed in ...

Rotaries are truly fascinating engines. They’re small, lightweight and unlike anything else on the road. Also, people keep saying something about a spinning Dorito? One of the coolest Lego projects we ...

Rotary might be a good name for this sort of engine, if the name wasn't already taken. Everything inside the crankcase rotates, but unlike a Wankel-style rotary engine, this design uses a piston with ...

A Wankel engine is a type of rotary engine, but not all rotary engines are Wankel engines. Wrapping your mind around this idea will help you to better understand the similarities as well as the ...
