1. Internal Combustion Basics

2. Parts Piston (P) Crank (C) Connecting Rod (R) Spark Plug (S)
Valves (V)
Intake Cam (I)
Exhaust Cam (E)

3. Types of ICE’s
Gasoline (4 stroke)
2 Stroke
Diesel
Rotary
Turbine

4. Four Stroke Strokes Advantages Intake: Brings in fuel and air
Compression: Compresses fuel air mixture
Combustion: Spark and absorption of combustion
Exhaust: Pushes out exhaust gases
Advantages
Smooth power curve
More fuel efficient
Cleaner burning

5. Two Stroke Strokes Advantages Intake/Combustion/Exhaust
Compression/Intake
Advantages
More power per displacement
Run in any orientation
Fewer moving parts

6. Diesel Compression Combustion type engine No Spark used
Diesel has more energy than Gasoline as a fuel

7. Rotary
Power/displacement
3 power strokes

8. Turbine Great power to weight ratio Great power to size ratio
Good for sustained use

9. Linear to Reciprocating Motion

10. Piston Engine Layout In-Line or Straight Advantages Disadvantages
Narrow profile
High Torque
One of everything
Disadvantages
Tall
Long

11. V-Engine Advantages Disadvantages Short Lower Center of gravity
Complicated valve/cam setup

12. Flat, Horizontally Opposed or Boxer
Advantages
Low Center of Gravity
Shorter than in-line
No need for crank shaft balance weights
Disadvantages
Complicated cam/valve setup

13. Radial Engine Advantages Disadvantages Short! Simple Crankshaft
Large Diameter

14. Fun Stuff

15. Robbert Maddox, maker of custom jet engines, is selling his jet engine on eBay. Check out this video of his Jet Powered Bike that can go 75MPH although you’d probably fall off the bike around 50MPH after the jump. And a deafening one too: the pulse jet engine makes a frightening racket, and its humming sound earned the 2nd World War cruise-missile V1s which used similar engines the nicknames buzzbomb and doodlebug.

The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today.  The Aioi Works of Japan's Diesel United, Ltd built the first engines and is where some of these pictures were taken.      It is available in 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines.  These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships. 
Total engine weight:2300 tons
Length:89 feetHeight:44 feet
Maximum power:108,920 hp at 102 rpm
