Engineering a more fuel-efficient engine from scratch
Last fall, eight engineering students from U of T crowded around a small leaf-blower engine and argued whether it could power the world’s most fuel-efficient vehicle. Then, they tossed it aside and started building a better one from scratch. Now – after their professors said it was impossible – that engine is at the heart […]
From bio-fuels to molten steel: How U of T engineers are curbing carbon emissions
Whether we’re transporting goods halfway across the planet, or making steel in large-scale factories, limiting our carbon emissions is an immense challenge. But Professor Murray Thomson (MIE) and his team at U of T Engineering are up to the task. Their research explores new types of biofuel, different combustion methods and advanced sensors that are […]
