Advancements in ICE Technology: Pushing the Boundaries
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Slashdot
INNengine, a company based in Granada, Spain, has developed a tiny-but-powerful "opposed-piston engine" with no cylinder head, camshaft, crankshaft, valves, or oil mixed with fuel. The engine features a single-stroke combustion cycle and offers better engine balance, minimizing noise, vibration, and harshness. While it is unlikely to directly power cars, INNengine is targeting the electric vehicle market as a range extender. The technology could be a logical path forward for lightweight and cost-effective EVs.
