The Rotating Detonation Engine being developed by Pratt & Whitney has no moving parts, which reduces complexity and costs, and could help enable high-speed, long-range flight with increased efficiency ...

From a thermodynamic point of view, detonations are more efficient than the more commonly known deflagration (classic combustion). While classic combustion in rocket engines takes place at constant ...

NASA believes the rotating detonation engine could be the future of deep space travel, and it's getting strong results in prototype testing. Combustion engines are tried and true, and however angry ...

An innovative new combustion engine eliminates half the guts of a traditional engine, and uses a fascinating internally rotating piston and sleeve arrangement, making it lighter, simpler and more ...

A team of researchers in Florida, working with the United States Air Force, claim to have built and tested an experimental model of a rotating detonation rocket engine. This type of engine uses ...

Electric motors have only one moving part, but a look into the three types and how each works proves they are far from simple ...

Advancements in automobile engine technology have continued to rise exponentially, specifically in the past decade, where efforts have been focused on alternative engine technology. The passenger ...

Disk rotating detonation engines could provide engines that are 10% more efficient, which could enable hypersonic planes. The USA, China, and Russia will be ramping up hypersonic weapon and hypersonic ...

Fuel cells, EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs make headlines, but experts will tell you that the suck-squish-bang-blow engine will be moving most of us for the next several decades despite efforts to kill it. They ...
