What is an engine?
Engine is a machine for converting energy into
motion or mechanical work.
The energy is usually supplied in the form of a
chemical fuel, such as oil or gasoline, steam,
or electricity, and the mechanical work is most
commonly delivered in the form of rotary
motion of a shaft.
Reciprocating engine
Despite its simplicity, the reciprocating engine
(basically a pistoncylinder device) is one of
the rare inventions that has proved to be very
versatile and to have a wide range of
applications. It is the powerhouse of the vast
majority of automobiles, trucks, light aircraft,
ships, and electric power generators ,as well
as many other devices.
