Reciprocating
Classification
There are several possible ways to classify internal combustion engines.
Reciprocating:
By number of strokes
Two-stroke engine
Clerk Cycle 1879 6
Day Cycle
Four-stroke engine (Otto cycle)
Six-stroke engine
By type of ignition
Compression-ignition engine
Spark-ignition engine (commonly found as gasoline engines)
By mechanical/thermodynamical cycle (these 2 cycles do not encompass all reciprocating engines, and are infrequently used):
Atkinson cycle
Miller cycle
Rotary:
Wankel engine
Continuous combustion:
Gas turbine
Jet engine
Rocket engine
Ramjet
The following jet engine types are also gas turbines types:
Turbojet
Turbofan
Turboprop

Definition of an engine
An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy.12 Heat engines, including internal combustion engines and external combustion engines (such as steam engines), burn a fuel to create heat, which then creates a force. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion; pneumatic motors use compressed air and others?such as clockwork motors in wind-up toys?use elastic energy. In biological systems, molecular motors, like myosins in muscles, use chemical energy to create forces and eventually motion.

How to solve the parking problems?
Among the many highly advanced technological solutions can not fail to make life easier for drivers. A perfect example is the so-called parking sensor, which means that you can safely fit in the car, even in a small space. This gadget is not currently too expensive, and its value for the majority of drivers will be huge - definitely worth it to invest, as we move through the crowded city streets, and we have every day problems with the appropriate parking the car. This sensor, as well as many other facilities for drivers are becoming more popular, and above all, their price falls. This is certainly an argument for buying small appliances that make life easier on the road.
