How does and internal combustion engine work? And what is an example of what they are used for?

An internal combustion engine is a heat engine in which fuel is burned inside the engine in chambers or cylinders. Each cylinder moves up and down, which is called a stoke. An example they are used for is for vehicles and transmissions. Also lawn mowers use this.

In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned inside of certain chambers or cylinders. Examples are for automobiles. There are also snowmobiles, lawnmowers, and a zamboni.

An engine in whish fuel is burned inside the engine in chambers of cylinders. (Science book ch. 6 pg. 176) A car, vehicles, snowmobiles, or anything with an engine. They are used to make things move and to get things to work.

AN internal combustion engine is one in which fuel is burned inside the engine in chambers and cyliders Each one of the cylinders move in an up and down motion. They are used in cars and mowers. We also use this in snowmobiles too.

An internal combustion engine works in four different steps. The first one is the intake, then it goes to compression, to the power stroke or when it is ignited by a spark plug, and the last is exhaust stroke or when teh exhaust goes go out. An example of this is any type of car diesel engines though are not examples of this.

Internal combustion engine- a heat engine in a car in which fuel is burned inside the engine in chambers or cylinders. An example would be the engine in the car. Another example would be a snowmobile and a lawnmower.

the internal combustion engine uses fuel to burned inside the cahambers a cilinders in which pistons move to push the combustionout into the exhaust..
like cars and baots and any thing that you put gas into in a internal combustion engine

The internal combustion engine is a engine that fule burned inside it. It is run through a system of cylinders. THis is used for cars and stuff.

A internal combustion engine fuel is bured inside of a cylineder. Cars moves gas into a cylinder preasing down the piston the air moves out of the piston hitting the spark plug making a car go.

1. Intake Stroke-the intake valve opens as the piston moves downward, drawing a mixture of gasoline and air into the cylinder.
2. Compression Stroke-the intake valve closes as the piston moves upward, compressing the fuel-air mixture.
3.Power Stroke-a spark plug ignites the fuel-air mixture. As the mixture burns, hot gases expand, pushing the piston down.
4. Exhaust Stroke-As the piston moves up, the exhause valve opens, and the hot gases are pushed out of the cylinder.
Internal Combustion Engines are used in cars & trucks & other vehicles.

an internal combustion engine is a heat engine in which fues is burned inside chambers and cylinders. They have strokes which help it work. An example of this is a snowmobile.

An internal combustion engine is a type of engine that burns fuel inside of chambers to power the vehicle. Any type of gas engine is and example of an internal combustion engine. Internal combustion engines are usually used to power a vehicle or generator.

Internal combustion engine is a heat enginee that fuel is burned in the cylinders. The cylinders move up and down and that is called a stroke. Cylinders are used for vehicles to get us places and anything that uses gas to make it move uses this.

Internal combustion is a engine that burns fuel inside the chambers or cyclinders. Each one moves up and down. That is called a stroke. Vechicles, lawn mowers, and snowmoblies or more things with a engine. It is used to make things run.

an internal combustion engine... well it starts with the intake valve sucking air and fuel into half the cylinders. THen they compress and the other half starts the first process. when the 1st half is conpressed it is ignited creating combustion. Then that energy drives the cam down and the cylinder which sends the 2nd half up making their compression. While this happens the other side it reading it self again by bring fresh fuel and air in and getting rid of the exhaust. An example is a car or truck

The internal combustion engine burns fuel in chambers or cylinders inside the engine. It goes through the movements Intake stroke, Compression stroke, Power stroke, and Exhaust stroke. This process moves gases, compresses them, burns it, and then pushes it out in order for the engine to work. Some things that use these are cars, lawn mowers, snowmobiles, etc.

Internal combustion engines burn fuel inside the engine in either the chambers or cylinders. An example would be cars, lawn mowers, snowmobiles, go-karts, and many more. They all have strokes that help operate the vehicle. A stroke is when a cylinder moves either up or down.
