Red Bull is convinced the compression ratio of its 2026 F1 engine is within the regulations, as Ben Hodgkinson calls the ...

The compression ratio isn’t just a number: it’s one of the greatest determining factors in engine building. Compression ratio determines the type of fuel, how much boost, and has a significant ...

Red Bull Powertrains' Ben Hodgkinson is confident of having a fully legal engine in 2026, amidst speculation regarding ...

Max Verstappen was caught out on the much-talked-about advantage Mercedes is believed to have secured by exploiting the 2026 engine compression ratio. Asked by Bloomberg whether Red Bull and Mercedes ...

A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine ...

We might be covering ground that's well trampled for many, but the static compression ratio of an engine is simple to understand: it's all the volume of a cylinder above the compression ring at Bottom ...

Assuming a properly tuned engine, there are three factors that contribute to poor streetability: long cam duration, high compression ratios, and excessive cruise rpm. Since cam selection is largely ...

It's only teasing a bit of information for now, but it will be properly unveiled during this year's Paris Motor Show. Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car ...

A refrigeration system’s compression or pressure ratio is defined as the absolute discharge pressure divided by the absolute suction pressure. Calculating this ratio can be a big help when it comes to ...

Pretty simple question actually (or so my ignorant mind thinks): At what compression ratio would an engine benefit from higher octane fuel? The Focus I drive is just over 10:1, and I've heard some say ...

Installing a recycle valve in parallel with the antisurge valve of a turbine-driven multistage (low pressure/high pressure) centrifugal compressor, in combination with control system modifications, ...
