In today’s dynamic energy industry, the need for flexible, efficient electricity generation is increasingly important. The days of predictable peak demand patterns are behind us. As wind and solar ...

Modern reciprocating engines are enabling reliable power generation while balancing renewable energy growth. Their rapid-response capabilities and multi-fuel flexibility are crucial to grid stability.

It is quite ironic that internal combustion engines (ICEs) have remained basically the same for more than one hundred years. It is only now – when they are allegedly on the verge of disappearing – ...

ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala.--The engine of a tank is what keeps a combat vehicle running, whether in Iraq or Afghanistan. And, it's what depot employees do to it inside the Anniston Army Depot Nichols ...

The growth of renewable energy, and with it the need for reliable backup generation, along with the increase in combined heat and power applications, is contributing to a rise in the use of ...

UNSW scientists have suggested to use dual-fuel reciprocating engines for adding gas-to-power operations in large scale production of hydrogen based on PV power. The preliminary findings of their ...

The reciprocating engine has been all the rage for at least three centuries. The first widely adopted engine of this type was the steam engine with a piston translating linear motion into rotational ...

Rotary engines (also known as Wankel engines and Wankel rotary engines) are quite different from piston or "reciprocating" engines. One of the distinguishing features is that they don't need valves to ...
