Bosch managed to create a timeless design when it introduced spark plugs to the masses. But it would have never come to pass ...

As long as the internal combustion engine has existed, engineers have been trying to find better ways of igniting the highly combustable mixture of air and gasoline that powers cars. Everything from ...

The pollutant emissions and high-energy consumption of combustion engines using conventional spark plugs have long been serious environmental problems. Now, it has been demonstrated that lasers can ...

Platinum spark plugs are already a step up from copper. Double platinum plugs might seem like a straightforward upgrade, but it's not as simple as it seems.

The ignition control module is a crucial component of a vehicle's ignition system. It is a control unit responsible for regulating the ignition timing and generating sparks to ignite the fuel-air ...

Internal combustion engines are likely to remain in widespread use for some time yet, but it's possible that we may be bidding adieu to that most iconic of engine parts, the spark plug. Researchers ...

However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Here in 2019, only the most fringe reactionaries are able to claim with a straight face that climate change is not a thing. But after years of the media doing its “two sides” thing, recalcitrant ...

Man, time flies. It seems like just a couple years ago when GM introduced the first major renovation of its small-block, but of course, that was back in 1991 for the '92 Corvette. At the time, one of ...

All combustion type engines require two variables to make power-air and fuel (gas, alcohol, methanol, etc). More air and fuel in the combustion chamber means more power potential. However, in reality ...
