Ever since the invention of the combustion engine, engineers and scientists have continued to innovate and push the limits of engine technology. From early steam engines to today\’s high-performance supercars, engine power and efficiency have come a long way. The latest development – high speed engines
A high speed engine typically refers to any combustion engine that can operate at speeds exceeding 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). In contrast, most modern automobile engines have a maximum speed of around 6,000-7,000 RPM. High speed engines achieve their faster rotational speeds through innovative designs that reduce weight, maximize power density, and utilize lightweight materials. At their core, high speed engines follow the same four-stroke combustion cycle as regular engines – intake, compression, power, and exhaust. However, various modifications allow them to spin much faster.
