1. Fundamentals of Medium/Heavy Duty Diesel Engines
2021 by Gus Wright
If you're the sort of person who has ever gazed upon a medium or heavy-duty diesel engine and thought, "How on Earth does this magnificent hunk of vibrating metal actually work?" then this revised and expanded tome is precisely the sort of thing you should be clutching nervously in your grease-streaked hands. From the basics that might cause a beginner to nod sagely while understanding almost nothing, to the advanced bits that make engineers whisper in awe of the latest wizardry in diesel technology, this book covers it all with the kind of thoroughness that makes you suspect Gus Wright may, in fact, be a sentient diagnostic tool masquerading as a human.

2. Engines and Fuels for Future Transport
2021 by Gautam Kalghatgi, Avinash Kumar Agarwal, Felix Leach, Kelly Senecal
In Engines and Fuels for Future Transport, Gautam Kalghatgi, Avinash Kumar Agarwal, Felix Leach and Kelly Senecal tackle the perplexing, slightly awkward conundrum of how to keep humanity moving without turning the planet into a sauna. This book boldly goes where no manual has gone before—straight into the heart of internal combustion engines (ICEs), which, despite being old enough to need reading glasses, still refuse to retire. While battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are the shiny new kids on the block, they’re also grappling with issues like material shortages and the occasional existential crisis over their carbon footprints. So, ICEs stick around, awkwardly asking, “What if we just, you know, got better?” The authors dive into life cycle analyses, experimental fuels and the odd but brilliant ways engines and fuels can work together for a greener tomorrow. With equal parts pragmatism and a nod to the improbability of it all, this is the ultimate guide for anyone invested in the slightly chaotic but fascinating road to cleaner, sustainable transport.

3. Distributed Generation: Induction and Permanent Magnet Generators
2008 by Loi Lei Lai, Tze Fun Chan
Distributed Generation: Induction and Permanent Magnet Generators – or as one might call it in a more whimsical reality, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Grid – takes readers on a thrilling, albeit highly technical, romp through the baffling yet brilliant world of distributed power generation. It introduces you to the peculiar personalities of induction generators (plucky and versatile) and permanent magnet generators (cool, efficient and slightly smug), exploring how these unsung heroes of energy production might just save the planet—or at least keep the lights on while we try. Packed with diagrams that look like something from a Vogon poetry recital and case studies that might convince even Marvin the Paranoid Android that renewable energy isn't entirely futile, this book juggles everything from theoretical models to practical applications and even finds time to ponder the meaning of life, the universe and distributed energy systems. Whether you're an engineer, a regulator, a student, or someone who just likes pretending they understand energy grids, this book promises a fascinating journey to the renewable horizon—assuming you don’t lose your towel along the way.

4. Permanent Magnet Motor Technology: Design and Applications, Second Edition,
2002 by Jacek F. Gieras
In a universe teeming with electrons, magnetic fields and equations that occasionally refuse to make any sense at all, Permanent Magnet Motor Technology: Design and Applications, Second Edition emerges as the eccentric hitchhiker's guide to the world of PM motor drives. Penned by a globally acknowledged luminary in the field—presumably someone who has gazed into the abyss of the finite element method and lived to write about it—this book offers a galactic toolkit for building, understanding and occasionally taming these magnetic marvels. With equations that might make even Marvin the Paranoid Android feel slightly more optimistic and diagrams so enlightening they’d give Deep Thought a run for its money, the author tackles efficiency, dependability and the peculiar art of matching motors to electrical drives. Whether you’re a seasoned technophile or just a curious humanoid looking to decode the mysteries of modern motor design, this book promises to magnetize your intellect and possibly change the way you see the universe—though, sadly, it doesn’t come with a towel.

5. Engines: An Introduction
1999 by John L. Lumley
Engines: An Introduction is a delightful plunge into the curious world of internal combustion engines—a marvel of human ingenuity that somehow continues to propel us through traffic jams, scenic highways and the occasional questionable shortcut. In a world where technology races ahead like a caffeinated hare, engine design remains the thoughtful tortoise, firmly anchored in the timeless laws of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. John L. Lumley, a luminary of fluid dynamics, charmingly unravels the mysteries of air and fuel, their little dances through intake valves and exhaust pipes and the often-overlooked spectacle of controlled explosions. With an eye on environmental woes like pollution (as if engines didn’t have enough on their plates already), this tome brims with illuminating diagrams, head-scratching homework problems and a smattering of examples that range from vintage classics to modern, whispering hybrids. Whether you’re an earnest student, a garage-dwelling tinkerer, or just someone who’s been wondering what the fuss about stratified charge gasoline direct injection engines is all about, Engines: An Introduction will fire up your curiosity and might just leave you dreaming of pistons instead of sheep. Oh and there’s software too—because why not?
