This document discusses internal combustion engines. It describes the two main types as four-stroke and two-stroke engines, with two-stroke completing a cycle in one crankshaft revolution and four-stroke in two revolutions. The two types of internal combustion engines are also identified as petrol/gasoline engines which use a carburetor to mix fuel and air before ignition by a spark plug, and diesel engines which compress only air and inject fuel to ignite via compression heat. Key features of diesel engines are discussed as being eco-friendly with less carbon monoxide, more efficient fuel burning, durable requiring less maintenance, and compact with less noise. The basic working components and cycles of two-stroke engines are outlined.
