BMW has a long history of manufacturing cars and motorcycles, but did it ever make airplane engines? If the answer is yes, do ...

This is why interest in detonation engines for both gas turbines in the energy sector and for rocket propulsion applications has increased so significantly in recent years. Particularly promising is ...

This a radial engine, and it was popular at that time because of the massive power it could bring, with the most powerful ...

Rotating Detonation Engines First developed in the 1950s at the University of Michigan, these rocket engines use powerful and chaotic detonations, self-propagating thanks to hypersonic shockwaves ...

Radial engines are just plain cool – it’s inarguable that any tech that originated with early aviation is inherently awesome. But, what do you do when you want to build a radial engine in your ...

In the video after the break, [Brick Technology] uses LEGO to gain some practical insight into the world of piston engine design, from single-cylinder all the way up to radial twelve-cylinder engines.

During World War II the radial engine was popular, and it was used in many fighter and bomber aircraft. Manufacturers in aviation used them because the engines deliver a ton of power for their ...

When it's a ramjet that uses rotating detonation technology to propel aircraft at hypersonic speeds. A case in point is Venus Aerospace's new Venus Detonation Ramjet 2000 lb Thrust Engine (VDR2).

Russell Sutton is a man after our own heart. The craftsman has spent the last four years building a nine-cylinder radial engine using a smattering of Honda XR600 singles for his airboat.

The easiest way to understand the difference between axial and radial calipers is to picture the front wheel of a bike in the shape of a full disc, rotating ... it comes to engine efficiency ...

Automobiles depend on ball bearings for locomotion in both their wheels and engines. Conveyor belts will use radial ball bearings to provide frictionless rotation of traction wheels. Many types of ...
