The diesel engine dates back to the 1890s when Rudolf Diesel, a German inventor and mechanical engineer, created the powerplant for use in commercial power generation applications. The design ...

During the 17th century, scientists and engineers began exploring the concept of internal combustion engines in earnest. For example, innovators such as Samuel Morland - an Englishman born in 1625 - ...

What is a 5.9-liter Cummins diesel engine? Well, for hardcore enthusiasts, it's arguably one of the most popular oil-burners ever produced. Cummins engines were dominant in agriculture long before ...

The inline-6 engine layout has its fans in the gas world, but it's the de facto standard design among diesel aficionados. Hardly surprising, as these engines are less complex than any V layout and ...
