An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a type of engine that generates power by burning fuel within a combustion chamber. This process converts chemical energy from fuels like gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy, which drives the vehicle's wheels. ICEs are widely used in cars, trucks, and various machinery due to their efficiency and power output. The operation of an internal combustion engine involves several key components, including the cylinders, pistons, and crankshaft. As the fuel-air mixture ignites, it creates pressure that pushes the pistons down, turning the crankshaft and ultimately propelling the vehicle. Despite the rise of electric vehicles, ICEs remain prevalent in the automotive industry.
