A DISCUSSION on the standards of comparison in connexion with the thermal efficiency of steam engines was held at the Institution of Civil Engineers on Thursday, December n. The Heat Engine and Boiler ...

Astron aerospace has shown a partial prototype of a new rotary combustion engine it claims runs at an extraordinary 60% thermal efficiency, burning totally clean with zero NOx emissions and nothing ...

Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have designed a heat engine with no moving parts. Their new demonstrations show that it converts heat to electricity with over 40 ...

The steam engine is often credited as one of the most transformative inventions in human history. It laid the foundation for the Industrial Revolution, revolutionised transport, and shifted the ...

A steam train built in 1937 is getting a makeover that will turn it into a “higher-speed” locomotive that runs on biocoal, a coal-like fuel made with woody plant material. When finished, the train ...

Once upon a time, the steam engine reigned supreme -- first in trains and heavy tractors, as you well know, but eventually in cars as well. It's quite hard to fathom today, but at the turn of the 20th ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. An engine indicator is an instrument ...

Engineers have developed a heat engine with no moving parts that is as efficient as a steam turbine. The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say. Engineers at MIT ...
