By arranging oval cylinders closer together and requiring less offset between banks, Ferrari could significantly reduce the overall length of a V12 engine, allowing for a more compact powertrain ...

In the video after the break, [Brick Technology] uses LEGO to gain some practical insight into the world of piston engine design, from single-cylinder all the way up to radial twelve-cylinder engines.

Ferrari is exploring a groundbreaking approach to the internal combustion engine, as revealed by a recent European patent ...

This engine has a transparent cylinder so that combustion can be observed. Two components of cylinder volume are important: (a) The "Displacement volume" is the volume displaced by the piston as it ...

Inside of almost every modern internal combustion engine (ICE) are pistons, which move up and down inside of cylinders. These move up and down to spin the crankshaft. The crankshaft is then connected ...

Before both components can be put together, rings are added to the pistons. This creates an airtight seal in the engine's cylinder. The piston is placed into a machine that will marry the ...

The piston rings in these vehicles over time could damage the surface of the cylinder bore ... to “abnormal noise from the engine” and or the oil pressure warning turning on.
