A revolutionary new internal combustion engine doesn’t go in circles, at all. Developed by engineers at the German Aerospace Center’s Institute of Vehicle Concepts, the Free Piston Linear Generator is ...

Sandia National Laboratory led by Sandia researcher Peter Van Blarigan that has been testing physical components of free-piston engines which could be 50% efficient. This is about twice as good as ...

There is no longer any doubt that internal combustion engines are on the way out the door. Most of us now believe that the doom of the ICE will be the electric cars, with their motors and batteries.

It’s pretty obvious that electricity is the future for our cars. But as any EV owner now can tell you, it has some limitations. Range and charging times are their biggest limitations, but the Toyota ...

Despite the recent advent of usable, talented electric vehicles, combustion engines are likely to persist for quite some time, often as a component in plug-in hybrid and range-extended electric ...

Toyota has showcased a new internal combustion engine design specifically for use in range-extended electric vehicles. Called the Free Piston Engine Linear Generator (FPEG), the main purpose of this ...
