  Engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In the context of propulsion systems, an air breathing engine is one that uses atmospheric air to oxidise the fuel carried, rather than carrying an oxidiser, as in a rocket.
In the broadest sense of the term, internal combustion engines can be said to have been invented in China, with the invention of fireworks during the Song dynasty, with some sources putting this invention a thousand years earlier still.
Design changes incorporated all known methods of raising engine capacity, including increasing the pressure in the cylinders to improve efficiency, increasing the size of the engine, and increasing the speed at which power is generated.

 ENGINE FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
While chemical and electrical engines of enormous power dominate the modern world, engines themselves are not new.
Human power was focused by the use of simple engines, such as the capstan, windlass or treadmill, and with ropes, pulleys, and block_and_tackle arrangements, this power was transmitted and multiplied.
The automobile motor from Europe had a bigger range, varying from 1to12 cylinders with corresponding differences in overall size, weight, piston displacement, and cylinder bores.

The modern DC motor was invented by accident in 1873, when Zénobe Gramme connected a spinning dynamo to a second similar unit, driving it as a motor.
The speed of the motor is proportional to the voltage, and the torque is proportional to the current.
As in the single-phase motor, through electromagnetic induction, the rotating magnetic field induces a current in the conductors in the rotor, which in turn sets up a counterbalancing magnetic field that causes the rotor to turn in the direction the field is rotating.

 Genetically Enhanced Engine TRN 062800
Engine design has traditionally been done by either trial and error or by holding many parameters constant and then changing one at a time and seeing what happens, said Senecal.
Traditionally, engine shapes haven't changed much, largely because machining experimental parts is time-consuming and expensive.
Eventually, his methods many be used in commercial engine design, a process that takes three to four years from concept to production, Reitz said.

The diesel engine is a type of internal combustion engine; more specifically, it is a compression ignition engine, in which the fuel is ignited by being suddenly exposed to the high temperature and pressure of a compressed gas containing oxygen (usually atmospheric air), rather than a separate source of ignition...
Wankel Engine in Deutsches Museum Munich, Germany The Wankel rotary engine is a type of internal combustion engine, invented by German engineer Felix Wankel, which uses a rotor instead of reciprocating pistons.
Fuel injection is a technology used in internal combustion engines to mix the fuel with air prior to combustion.

 ELECTRIC MOTOR FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
A common single-phase motor is the shaded_pole_motor, which is used in devices requiring lower torque, such as electric_fans or other small household appliances.
Closely related in design to three-phase AC synchronous motors are stepper_motors, where an internal rotor containing permanent magnets or a large iron core with salient poles is controlled by a set of external magnets that are switched electronically.
A linear_motor is essentially an electric motor that has been "unrolled" so that instead of producing a torque (rotation), it produces a linear force along its length by setting up a traveling electromagnetic field.
