A connecting rod is the mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft. By design, connecting rods convert vertical motion into rotary motion, eventually yielding torque at the flywheel. By ...

Ferrari submitted a patent for a super interesting engine anatomy comprised of pill-shaped pistons and two connecting rods joined into one. First, let’s observe a traditional piston and cylinder. The ...

Utah's Transcend Energy Group claims it has a relatively simple and cheap way to dramatically increase the torque output of combustion engines, simply by replacing the standard connecting rods with ...

When you consider the crazy monkey motion of reciprocating internal combustion engines it is remarkable they work as well as they do. You have eight pistons and connecting rods doing a “do-si-do” ...

We often talk about how easy it is to make horsepower these days, giving praise to cylinder heads and camshaft technology, but if it wasn’t for tough bottom end parts, such as the modern aftermarket ...

Ferrari has filed a patent for an engine with pill-shaped pistons, a radical departure from traditional circular piston designs. While Honda famously experimented with oval pistons in the late 1970s ...

Engine creates continuous power and delivers it to the vehicle so that it can propel it forward. Internal Combustion (IC) Engines are used in vehicles, that burn fuel within engine cylinder, unlike ...

Free-piston engine generators and linear machines represent an innovative departure from conventional rotary systems, offering high thermal efficiency and operational flexibility by eliminating the ...

It is generally acknowledged that connecting rod geometry, particularly center-to-center length, can have a material influence on a variety of engine conditions. These include specific relationships ...
