How do cars work?

Doeasnt it breed you wacky when poeple...

Answers: A car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion take place internally. Two things to note:

There are different kind of internal combustion engines. Diesel engines are one form and gas turbine engines are another. See also the articles on HEMI engines, rotary engines and two-stroke engines. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

There is such a article as an external combustion engine. A steam engine in behind the times trains and steam boats is the best example of an external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) contained by a steam engine burns outside the engine to create steam, and the steam creates motion inside the engine. Internal combustion is a lot more streamlined (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an internal combustion engine is like mad smaller than an equivalent external combustion engine. This explains why we don't see any cars from Ford and GM using steam engines.
