AI overview

An engine is a machine that converts fuel into mechanical energy through combustion, with different designs serving different purposes—such as four-stroke gasoline engines in vehicles or jet engines in aircraft. Engines matter because they power much of modern transportation and machinery, enabling cars, planes, and countless other devices to function.
