Researchers are designing nano-sized quantum heat engines to explore whether they may be able to outperform classical heat engines in terms of power and efficiency. Researchers from Aalto University ...

3D prints aren’t typically known for their heat resistance. However, [Integza] noted that using the right techniques, it was possible to 3D print parts that could handle steam heat without failing.

Taking care of your vehicle is vital to ensure it stays in great condition. Your brakes could give you trouble someday, or your suspension could require tinkering, inevitably leading you to an auto ...

This report documents the design process of a Fuel Cooled Oil Cooler (FCOC) from initial design in CAD, process steps in nTop ...

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 ...

February 13, 2009 Technology capable of generating electricity by extracting energy from heat that is otherwise just wasted is a fairly new branch of renewable technology. A typical co-generation ...

The model Stirling engine is a staple of novelty catalogues, and we daresay that were it not for their high price there might be more than one Hackaday reader or writer who might own one. All is not ...

The choke valve in an engine's carburetor, whether it's a Holley carburetor or another brand, helps a cold engine start by restricting some of the airflow into it. When the engine is cold, the choke ...

Does your engine need a valve adjustment? It depends on the age, condition and brand of vehicle you’re driving. Due to the popularization of roller-follower valve train designs that reduce friction ...
