Government regulations surrounding fuel efficiency in new vehicles are becoming more stringent, causing automakers to turn their backs on the once-beloved V8 engine. In order to meet the power desired by buyers and government efficiency standards, manufacturers are making turbochargers the new norm. We previously discussed how an internal combustion engine (ICE) works in modern…
The Mechanics of an Internal Combustion Engine An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a complex piece of machinery that powers most of the vehicles we see on the road today, though that may change sooner rather than we think. The principle behind it is converting the chemical energy in fuel into mechanical energy, which, in…
The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been under fire for some time now, and more efficient powertrains are slowly making headway. Hydrogen-powered vehicles and electric vehicles (EV) aren’t without their own uphill battles. Which one is the better option for the environmentally-focused driver, or does it even matter? Benefits of Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles Zero Emissions: Hydrogen…
