Why Red Bull Powertrains believe 2026 compression ratio intrigue is 'noise about nothing'
Red Bull Powertrains' Ben Hodgkinson is confident of having a fully legal engine in 2026, amidst speculation regarding compression
We might be covering ground that's well trampled for many, but the static compression ratio of an engine is simple to understand: it's all the volume of a cylinder above the compression ring at Bottom Dead Center (BDC) when compared to the volume above the ...
A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine design. It looks like Nissan is the Indiana Jones of ...
The compression ratio isn’t just a number: it’s one of the greatest determining factors in engine building. Compression ratio determines the type of fuel, how much boost, and has a significant influence on an engine’s power and torque potential.
Nissan’s variable-compression turbo (VC-Turbo) is a unique engine capable of variable compression adjustment. Unlike traditional engines, which have a fixed compression ratio, the VC-Turbo engine adjusts its compression to the ideal ratio based on the ...
The MCE-5 engine from MCE-5 Development in Lyon, France (www.mce-5.com), varies its compression ratio and uses a combined gear and rod-crank mechanism. Varying compression from 7:1 to 20:1 makes the engine more efficient than current gas engines.
While the fashion in high-tech automotive developments might lean towards hybrids and electric vehicles at the moment, there’s still plenty of scope to improve the good old internal combustion engine and one of the holy grails of such development is the ...
