What is the Internal Combustion (Engine)?
Those of you who are electronic geeks might see the term IC in conjunction with Integrated Circuits, but in the mechanical sense of the word this stands for Internal Combustion engines (if you are wondering whether there are any External Combustion engines as well, lets keep that a mystery for a while for later discussion). Of course you would certainly require a few years of study to learn fully about them but in these articles I will try to tell some of the basic points of interest to a non-technical person as well. To put in the most broad of the terms, an internal combustion engine can be defined as a machine which generates energy or power by burning some sort of fuel inside a closed chamber (hence the name Internal) which is known more popularly as the cylinder. Fuel and air are compressed to a very small volume to increase their temperature and pressure and behold, the spark ignites them adding fire to the fuel (opposite to the common saying of adding fuel to the fire) which mak
