Formula 1 engines make huge amounts of efficient power thanks, in part, to pre-chamber ignition, but it was actually Honda that pioneered the tech in the '70s.

Under the necessary conditions of ignition and proper burn rates (cylinder pressure history), both these conditions can exist in virtually any engine. But, in particular, they certainly apply to race ...

For a variety of reasons, race engines can experience either or both these conditions involving uncontrolled combustion. And, we all know either or both can cause power losses and potentially damaged ...

The two-phase ignition is derived from racing technology, and it is said to burn cleaner and more efficient than traditional ...

MAHLE can now integrate pre-chamber ignition into engines that are already into production without having to change much in the machining process. MAHLE Jet Ignition technology can be installed in ...

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are collaborating to develop methods to detect pre-ignitions in real-time. The researchers will first use laboratory-grade ...

Many fleet operators are interested in minimizing the number of engine oils they need to carry for their fleets, ideally seeking one solution that works across a mix of heavy, medium and light-duty ...
