(pronounced "gold source"), sometimes called the Half-Life engine, is a proprietary game engine developed by Valve. At its core, GoldSrc is a heavily modified...

the engine, and get higher power outputs. Reciprocating engines at idle have low thermal efficiency because the only usable work being drawn off the engine...

A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. The steam engine uses the force produced by steam pressure...

steam engine was used to pump water out of coal mines. During the Industrial Revolution, steam engines started to replace water and wind power, and eventually...

Mechanical heat engines convert heat into work via various thermodynamic processes. The internal combustion engine is perhaps the most common example...

second power stroke. Extracts the additional power from the expansion of steam. The Bajulaz six-stroke engine is similar to a regular combustion engine in...

An aircraft engine, often referred to as an aero engine, is the power component of an aircraft propulsion system. Aircraft using power components are referred...

to provide efficiency at the expense of power density. A variation of this approach is used in some modern automobile engines. While originally seen...

engines are fixed steam engines used for pumping or driving mills and factories, and for power generation. They are distinct from locomotive engines used...

The Honda RA6 Series hybrid power unit, are a series of 1.6-litre, hybrid turbocharged V6 racing engines which feature both a kinetic energy recovery (MGU-K)...

staged combustion (FFSC) fuel cycle, and the first such engine to power a vehicle in flight. The engine is powered by cryogenic liquid methane and liquid...

petrol-powered piston engines are straight engines or V engines. However, flat engines, W engines and other layouts are sometimes used. Wankel engines are...

game engine developed by Valve. It debuted as the successor to GoldSrc in 2004 with the releases of Half-Life: Source, Counter-Strike: Source, and Half-Life...

engine and power train designs. The chief characteristic of an automotive engine (compared to a stationary engine or a marine engine) is a high power-to-weight...

solution to the problems of power output, weight, and reliability". By the early 1920s, the inherent limitations of this type of engine had rendered...

replace the basic Watt design. The first steam engines, introduced by Thomas Newcomen in 1712, were of the "atmospheric" design. At the end of the power stroke...

1955 and 1981. The engines feature a cast-iron block and head and two valves per cylinder. Engine block and cylinder heads were cast at Saginaw Metal Casting...
