How Car Engines Work

Have you ever opened the hood of your car and wondered what was going on was? An engine of a car can be like a big confusing jumble of metal, pipes and cables uninitiated.You want to know what's going on just out of curiosity may seem. Or maybe you're buying a new car, and I hear things like "3.0 liter V-6" and "double-cam" and "tune-port fuel injection." What does that mean?
In this article we will than the basic idea of an engine and to discuss in detail about how all the pieces fit together, what can go wrong and how you performance.The purpose of a gasoline car engine to improve gas moves to the Put in a manner that the car to move. Currently the easiest way to create a movement of gasoline to burn fuel in an engine. Therefore an internal combustion engine - combustion takes place internally.
Two things to note:
  • There are several types of combustion engines. A gas turbine and diesel engines. See also the articles on HEMI engines, rotary engines and two stroke engines. Each has its pros and cons.
  • There is no such thing as an external combustion engine. A steam engine in the old trains and steam boats is the best example of an external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil or other) in a steam engine steam engine burns to generate steam and movement in the engine to produce. In internal combustion engines is much more efficient (less fuel per mile), that the external combustion in addition to an internal combustion engine is smaller than an external combustion is equivalent. This explains why we see Ford and GM using steam engines.
