Evolving Piston Technology, Engine Safety, and Tesla's Expanding Network Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk, we look at piston technology and how it has evolved over the years, from compression ratios in the 50s and 60s to modern ratios as high as 18 to one. We look at the flat top piston, the hemi piston, the wedge engine, and the notched piston. We learn about the innovative gasoline direct injected engines that use a powerball of air and fuel to push the piston down.
We also look into the incredible advancements in engine and vehicle safety, such as Honda's radical racing motorcycle engine with an oval-shaped piston that was later outlawed in competition. In our look at how compression ratios have changed over the years, we look at the development of air pumps, catalytic converters, and oxygen sensors that were developed to reduce emissions.
We also talk briefly about the Tesla agreement with Ford to provide access to the Tesla Supercharger network, which should encourage more EV development and acceptance by consumers.
