All Types of Engines Used in Cars Explained - Complete Guide

In this video, you will learn the different types of engines used in cars and their advantages and disadvantages. There are mainly two types of engines that are: internal combustion engines and external combustion engines.

What is Engine?

A car engine is a power plant that propels a car by converting fuel into energy. Most car engines are internal combustion engines, which operate by igniting fuel and air in a series of controlled explosions within the engine's cylinders.

Before hybrid and electric-powered vehicle engines, a car’s engine could easily be described as a machine that facilitates the internal combustion of energy-producing liquids like diesel and petrol. Since the development of hybrid and electric vehicles, explaining how a modern car engine operates calls for a little more knowledge and expertise.

Modern car engines are complicated and specifically designed to meet various customers’ needs. A few people prefer more power, while others focus only on fuel efficiency. To satisfy the need of every customer, car manufacturers have devised several different car engine types over the past few decades. Today, im going to explain each type of car engine out there to increase your knowledge about engines.

The major distinction between engines is
1) Internal Combustion Engine
2) External Combustion Engine.

Internal Combustion Engine

An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a type of heat engine where the combustion of fuel takes place inside the chamber. When the fuel burns inside the engine, it causes the temperature and pressure to increase. This high pressure produced by combustion is then applied directly to power pistons, rotors, or a nozzle.

It’s the force that moves your car over a distance, transforming chemical energy into useful mechanical energy. These engines are generally used in automobile industries to power cars. An internal combustion engine can be categorized on many bases, for instance, type of ignition, number of strokes, design, and so on.

External Combustion Engine

As the name suggests that in an External Combustion Engine combustion of fuel takes place outside the Engine. Here the extra heat is utilized to produce low-pressure steam which is used in the turbine to produce electricity. Here the fuel is burnt outside the engine so we can also use solid fuel. External combustion engines are not used in cars.
