Overview

How different car engines work

Problem

the problem is that we dont know how a cars engine works and we are trying to find that out

Method

i reserched on google using varies websites to find out the process of how a engine works and what it uses

Research

The fuel is mixed with air and then into the cylinder during the intake process. After the piston compresses the fuel-air mixture, the spark ignites it, causing combustion. The expansion of the combustion gases pushes the piston during the power stroke. Also if you drive your car over 200 Kph then it has a chance to explode.An engine is the most important for cars. An engine also needs oil change every month because you can’t just drive with the same oil in the engine for like 1 year so you have to change it every around 6 months.

Conclusion

we found out that the air and fuel mixtures went into the combustion chamber and the piston goes up causing tension turning to exhaust gases and go out
