IRVINE, Calif.—Despite rumors to the contrary, the internal combustion engine is far from dead. Recently we've seen several technological advances that will significantly boost the efficiency of ...

ENGINE-TEST results are presented for simulated altitude conditions using a displacerpiston combustion-chamber on a 5-in. by 7-in. single-cylinder compression-ignition engine operating at 2000 r.p.m.

At first glance, the concept of engine compression is simple enough:It's the ratio of the volume of the combustion chamber and bore when thepiston is at bottom dead center (BDC) versus when it is at ...
