ELI5, how a gasoline engine such as a car works?
In: 0
Air goes gets pulled in a tube along with gasoline, then a spark lights this air & gas mixture and the explosion pushes that tube open that also pushes a rod that’s connected to a shaft that eventually turns the wheels. Air comes in from the front of the car, the grill, where it meets a radiator that takes this cooled air and distributes it throughout the engine where it’s needed. Different parts of the engine are also moved by belts. The sparks and explosions and turnings all have to happen in sync as best as possible. Spent explosions are eventually sent out through the exhaust pipe.
