Gasoline+engine

[|Gasoline engine] - internal combustion engine which is often used for automobiles, aircraft, small mobile vehicles such as lawnmowers or motorcycles, and outboard motors for boats. The most common engine of this type is a four-stroke cycle internal combustion engine that burns gasoline. Burning is initiated by an ignition system that fires a high voltage spark through a spark plug.

 * [|four-stroke] (Otto} cycle - four strokes, or straight movements in a single direction, of a piston inside a cylinder: 1.  intake (induction) stroke, 2.   compression stroke, 3.   power (ignition) stroke, 4.   exhaust stroke
 * [|Cylinder] - in an internal combustion engine is the space within which a piston travels. Multiple cylinders are commonly arranged side by side in a bank, or 'block'.
