- Engine knocking - Knocking (also called pinking or pinging)— colloquially detonation—in internal combustion engines occurs when combustion of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder starts off correctly in response to ignition by the spark plug, but one or more pockets of air/fuel mixture explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front. In non-diesel combustion engines, the ...
- Oil pressure (internal combustion engine) - Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by an oil pump and forced through oil galleries (drillings) into the most highly-stressed bearings, such as the main bearings, big ends and camshaft bearings.
- Hydrogen fuel injection - Hydrogen fuel injection, or HFI, is a system to reduce exhaust emissions of internal combustion engines and improve fuel economy. HFI systems work by injecting hydrogen as a combustion enhancement into the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine to achieve these benefits.
- Stirling engine - In the family of heat engines, 'Stirling engine' defines a closed-cycle regenerative hot air engine, though the term is often used incorrectly to refer generically to a much wider range of hot air engine types. In this context, "closed-cycle" means that the working fluid is permanently contained within the system, whereas "open-cycle" engines such as internal combustion engine and some steam engines, exchange working fluid with their surroundings as part of the cycle; "regenerative" refers to the use of an internal heat exchanger - the regenerator - which greatly improves the engine's potential efficiency.
- Controlled Combustion Engine - Controlled Combustion Engine (CCE) is a term used by Revetec to identify a type of internal combustion engine designed by Brad Howell-Smith. It uses two counter-rotating cams instead of a crankshaft driving two horizontally opposed pistons while retaining an identical cylinder head assembly to conventional engines.
