Compared to other technologies we use every day, it seems that car engines have not changed much. The engine of an old Ford Model T has many similarities with the engine in a 2011 Ford Fusion, but it is doubtful that Alexander Graham Bell would be, what to do with an iPhone. While the technology of communication has changed dramatically, the engines of motor vehicles use the same basic principle for the combustion air and fuel to create a rotational force to move a car.
However, although the same principles that have brought the first car engines are still in use, modern car engines are designed to meet the energy needs and meet the efficiency of today's drivers. Think engines of old cars, like the wolves and the engines of modern cars like dogs. They share a common heritage and similar features, but works very well in modern life, while the other could not adapt to life in a city or neighborhood.Before talking about how the engines of modern cars are different than before is needed to understand the basics of how a car engine. Basically, fuel and air is rotated in a chamber of a cylinder. The cylinder is a piston that moves up and down by the explosion of the fuel / air. The piston is connected to the crankshaft. As the piston moves up and down, rotate the crankshaft. The crankshaft is the transmission, which transmits the force to the wheels of the vehicle. Sounds easy, does not it? With modern engines, the basic concepts remain valid, but there's more to think about.
