More specifically, the combustion process in the diesel engine is initiated by spontaneous ignition of the fuel when it is injected into a highly compressed charge of air, which has reached ...

Most pickup trucks sold today have internal combustion engines. Passenger vehicles are powered by two main types of engines: compression, aka diesel, and spark ignition, aka gasoline. Besides the ...

America's nuclear-powered submarines aren't the only variation of the submersible out there. There are also diesel-electric ...

A Volkswagen video explains diesel engines, and a proposed emissions fix for Europe.

Diesel engines don’t have spark plugs; instead, they use the super-heated air created by their high compression ratios to ignite the diesel fuel as it’s injected into the cylinder.

Diesel engines are noisy, and require both fuel and oxygen to work. So how do diesel engines run a submarine when it's underwater where there is no air?

Unlike conventional diesels, the Commer Knocker engine used opposed pistons and a single crankshaft, giving it big torque, ...

In other words, it takes the combustion methodology of a diesel engine, while using the timing methodology of a spark-ignited gasoline engine.

Not all braking systems on semis have to be loud to be effective. Exhaust brakes make a fraction of the noise that compression brakes do, here's how they work.

The VC Turbo engine combines the efficiency of diesel engines with the performance of gasoline engines. How does Nissan’s variable compression engine work?

Toyota Patent Suggests a High-Compression Diesel Truck Engine May Be in the Works With Toyota shifting away from V8s, this could be its answer for smaller displacement and high torque figures.
