Introduction to Engine Types. An engine is a machine designed to convert energy into useful mechanical motion. There are two main types of internal combustion engines: two-stroke and four-stroke engines..

[Audio] Two-stroke and four-stroke engines are two of the primary types of internal combustion engines used to convert energy into useful mechanical motion. Two-stroke engines are known for their simple design which involves only two primary functions: compression and power. Despite their smaller size they can produce high power output due to their firing frequency. For optimal lubrication and combustion two-stroke engines require a specific oil and fuel mixture..

[Audio] Four-stroke engines have a more complex design that involves four distinct functions; intake compression power and exhaust. This type of engine typically uses less fuel resulting in greater efficiency and fewer emissions than two-stroke engines as it has a separate intake and exhaust cycle. Consequently it offers better environmental performance..

[Audio] A two-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a cycle of events compression combustion power exhaust and intake in a single crankshaft revolution. During the compression stage the fuel-air mixture is compressed and an ignition occurs creating an expanding gas that drives the piston downward and produces power. Following this exhaust and intake occur to prepare the engine for its next cycle. Four-stroke engines are the other main type of internal combustion engine used to convert energy into useful mechanical motion..

[Audio] Internal combustion engines are essential for our modern transportation system. We will examine two types of engines two-stroke and four-stroke. Two-stroke engines complete their cycle in two piston movements making them smaller lighter and cheaper than four-stroke engines. Four-stroke engines in comparison perform their cycle in four steps intake compression power and exhaust. This type of engine is more efficient but heavier and bigger. Both two-stroke and four-stroke engines use a fuel source to generate motion but the main difference lies in the number of cycles the engine has to do this. This is a basic summary of two-stroke and four-stroke engines..

[Audio] Comparing two-stroke and four-stroke engines the key difference lies in the power output. As the two-stroke engine has a power stroke every revolution it has higher power output than that of the four-stroke engine which needs two complete revolutions of the crankshaft to produce one power stroke..

[Audio] Internal combustion powers modern two-stroke and four-stroke engines. This slide examines a comparison of the environmental impacts of these two types of engines. Two-stroke engines have higher fuel consumption than four-stroke engines and consequently higher emissions. Conversely four-stroke engines have lower fuel consumption and emissions than two-stroke engines..

[Audio] Two-stroke and four-stroke engines are the two main types of internal combustion engines used to convert energy into useful mechanical motion. In terms of performance two-stroke engines are better for power to weight ratios while four-stroke engines can be more efficient and have lower emissions. Ultimately the application requirements and any environmental regulations must be taken into consideration. With that my presentation is finished. Thank you for your attention..
