Internal Combustion Engines

Internal Combustion Engines

1. Cylinders

   • The number of cylinders
     • More(around 8-16)
       • Less forces on the individual pistons, more pieces to break
     • Less(1-6)
       • More forces on the pistons, less power

2. Fuel

   • Gasoline
     • Inefficient, and lots of CO2 emissions
   • Diesel
     • Less CO2 burned, and more fuel efficient, but still pollutes significantly

3. Displacement

   • Bigger Displacement
     • More fuel burned

4. Environmental

   • emits lots of pollutants
