Hot rodders have a habit of looking everywhere for lost power except in the most obvious place. ECM tuning, fueling mechanics (injectors/pump), spark plugs, weather, and even the dyno itself typically ...

With turbocharged engines, the boost number--the pressure at which air is fed into the engine--is often equated with the amount of power on tap. But that isn't necessarily the case. "Boost itself is ...

Making power is simple. You combine fuel and air. squeeze it, light it off with a spark andboomyou have power. Any engine can perform this task rather handily. But hot rodders are always searching for ...

You’ll often hear all about boost pressure, simply known as boost, when it comes to turbo and supercharged cars. It is the metric by which empires are made and by which empires fall, but is it the ...

Tolerating heat and helping to reduce it are both attributes that sintering offers as an alternative to soldering in power electronics applications. Doing more with less and, of course, packing more ...

Any boost-converter design will have a practical limit to how much it can step up a voltage from input to output. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers have timing limits that restrict the minimum ...
