Schematic of the proposed pneumatic propulsion with multi-option for connectivity, be it grid and/or renewable energy connectivity. Scientists say they have created a methodology that could replace ...

A dual-fuel combustion strategy developed in a Caterpillar marine engine at DOE's National Transportation Research Center at ORNL shows methanol can ...

The inline-6 engine layout has its fans in the gas world, but it's the de facto standard design among diesel aficionados. Hardly surprising, as these engines are less complex than any V layout and ...

Inside a diesel engine's cylinder, compressed air raises the temperature to ignite injected fuel, and the resulting force drives pistons to power the vehicle's main gears. Chief to this combustion ...

A dual fuel combustion system developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in collaboration with Caterpillar Inc. addresses the challenge of methanol ignition in diesel engines, with clear relevance for ...
