For a variety of reasons, race engines can experience either or both these conditions involving uncontrolled combustion. And, we all know either or both can cause power losses and potentially damaged ...

Under the necessary conditions of ignition and proper burn rates (cylinder pressure history), both these conditions can exist in virtually any engine. But, in particular, they certainly apply to race ...

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are collaborating to develop methods to detect pre-ignitions in real-time. The researchers will first use laboratory-grade ...

A team of scientists and researchers is embarking on a five-year study program to develop actionable strategies for dealing with wildfires — both pre-ignition and post-ignition — and is looking for ...

Aston Martin Lagonda Global has been granted a patent for a pre-combustion chamber assembly designed for spark ignition engines. This assembly features an ignition chamber that effectively removes ...

Formula 1 has always been at the forefront of cutting-edge automotive engineering, be it vehicle dynamics or engine tech. Unsurprisingly, the pinnacle of motorsports has seen a lot of change since the ...
