What is an "internal combustion engine"?
An internal combustion engine is a type of engine commonly used in cars, trucks, and other vehicles. It works by burning fuel, such as gasoline or diesel, inside the engine’s cylinders. This process creates a small explosion that produces power to move the vehicle. The engine has several parts, such as pistons and valves, that work together to control the flow of fuel and air and help convert the energy from the explosions into mechanical movement. Internal combustion engines are efficient and widely used, but they release harmful gases that can affect the environment.
Example
Cars and motorcycles commonly use internal combustion engines to move, burning fuel like gasoline or diesel to create energy.
The internal combustion engine revolutionized transportation by providing a more efficient way to power vehicles compared to older steam engines.
Mechanics often need to check the oil and coolant levels regularly to keep internal combustion engines running smoothly.
