Alternative Car Engines Anatomy

{[['']]}

The most common type of alternative engine is the diesel engine, which instead of igniting the compressed fuel/air mixture with a spark,uses compression alone,heating the mixture to the point where it explodes.A diesel engine's fule consumption is low in comparison with similarly sized piston engines,despite its heavier,reinforced moving parts and cylinder block.Another type of engine is the rotary-combustion,first successfully developed by Felix Wankel in the 1950.It;s two trilobate (three-sided) rotors revolve in housings shaped in a fat figure-of-eight.The four sequences of the four-stroke cycle,which occur consecutively in a piston engine,occur simultaneously in a rotary engine,producing power in a continuous stream.
