A gasoline engine is a type of internal combustion engine that converts fuel into mechanical energy. It operates by igniting a mixture of gasoline and air in a cylinder, which creates a small explosion. This explosion pushes a piston, turning the crankshaft and ultimately powering the vehicle.
Gasoline engines are commonly used in cars, motorcycles, and small machinery. They are known for their relatively simple design and ability to provide quick acceleration. However, they also produce emissions, which has led to the development of alternative engines, such as electric engines and hybrid engines.
