Today, the fundamental concept of an Otto-cycle engine (named for its creator) is no different than in past decades -- we just have better parts to play with. What follows is a basic review of the ...

It would take the likes of Nikolaus August Otto in Germany to make the first practical four-stroke engine, in 1876. His name is immortalized in the Otto cycle, which is used today in engines. In 1881, ...

Quick Facts About the Scuderi Split-cycle engine Invented by Carmelo Scuderi Patented in July 2001 An internal combustion engine which combines the Otto engine's four cycles (intake, compression ...

Plus, if you want to go faster, you've got to understand how engines work. Cars are, with the exception of rotaries, powered by the Otto four-stroke engine cycle.

The Atkinson is a four-stroke internal combustion engine much like the Otto cycle, but there’s a big difference: the intake valve stays open during the first part of the compression stroke.

The four-stroke Otto cycle engine is the reigning king of internal combustion (in the diesel-averse United States, at least), which makes it easy to forget about all those other wacky would-be ...

When we think of a typical four stroke internal combustion engine, we think of metal. And for any type of longevity or performance, that’s certainly the right choice. But [Integza] wanted to … ...

This twelve-cylinder version of the 92cm bore X-DF dual fuel engine from WinGD, is set to be the largest and most powerful Otto cycle gas and dual-fuel engine ever built and will bring a new level ...

The Otto cycle four-stroke engine has pretty much been the standard for 132 years, but the five-stroke engine might be a great stopgap between current technology and the Next Big Thing.

Most gasoline engines today, with a few exceptions, run on the 'Otto' four-stroke cycle: induction, compression, ignition and exhaust.
