Diesel engines are different from gas engines in numerous ways, including their use of high compression ratios. Here's why that is and what it means.

A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine ...

Any diesel-engine manufacturer that confidently claims it produces an oil-burner with the “world’s lowest compression ratio,” will no doubt draw the immediate attention of inquisitive enthusiasts, ...

Low- And High-Compression Fuel Economy Engines: The Techniques Are About The Same, But The Approach To Each Is Somewhat Different. A.Most stock cylinder heads have factory-cut undercuts of the type ...

To meet stricter global emissions standards, carmakers are trying to squeeze every last bit of efficiency out of internal-combustion engines. That has led Infiniti to turn to a technology engineers ...
