An Engine for Hybrids from Lotus..
September 23rd, 2009
From Lotus Engineering, the consultation team of the automaker, comes a vision for an engine to be used as a range/mileage extender on hybrid cars. The new design maximizes efficiency for an engine that will only function as a generator.

Survey Shows Buyer Hesitation for Shopping Small…
September 15th, 2009
With federal requirements for higher mileage cars looming, car shoppers may have fewer larger vehicle and engine choices in upcoming years. Automakers have to find a median between what the U.S. market wants — traditionally larger vehicles — and increased fuel economy, which often means downsizing.

August 26th, 2009
Octane has nothing to do with power. Gasoline manufacturers add more octane to prevent the premature ignition of the gasoline. In a high performance engine with higher compression, 87 octane will ignite itself from the heat of compression during the compression stroke or from any carbon buildup inside the combustion chamber. The computer will see [...]

August 16th, 2009
Imagine two identical hospitals, side by side. One charges patients a little, and the other piles on the bills. Where do patients get better care? Researchers at Dartmouth say that, overall, there’s no connection between the intensity, quality or cost of treatment and how well patients fare.
That’s one of the biggest challenges in fixing health [...]
