Turbocharging "was invented back in 1905," Bill Gardiner said, "but it's just coming to prominence today."

Kenzie’s Korner: A lesson on diesel—er, Diesel

Little known fact: Jim Kenzie is a stickler for spelling and grammar. So you can surely understand his ire at the lack of capitalization of the term diesel. "Nicolaus Otto ... was a German engineer," says Jim. "Now, he probably didn't invent the cycle that's named after him—that's the suck, …
