#internal-combustion_engine__ICE a heat engine in which combustion occurs inside the engine rather than in a separate furnace; heat expands a gas that either moves a piston or turns a gas turbine
supertype: heat_engine any engine that makes use of heat to do work
subtype: diesel_engine four-stroke_engine gas_engine gasoline_engine outboard_motor radial_engine reciprocating_engine rotary_engine valve-in-head_engine
part of: motorboat motor_vehicle
part: engine_block__cylinder_block__block a metal casting containing the cylinders and cooling ducts of an engine; "the engine had to be replaced because the block was cracked"
part: piston_chamber__cylinder a chamber within which piston moves
part: intake_valve a valve that controls the flow of fluid through an intake
part: pressure-feed_lubricating_system__lubricating_system__lubricatingsystem__force-feed_lubricating_system__force_feed__forcefeed__pressure_feed mechanical system of lubricating internal combustion engines in which a pump forces oil into the engine bearings
part: oil_filter__oilfilter a filter that removes impurities from the oil used to lubricate an internal-combustion engine
part: oil_pump__oilpump a pump that keeps a supply of oil on moving parts
part: poppet_valve__poppet a mushroom-shaped valve that rises perpendicular from its seat; commonly used in internal-combustion engines
part: self-starter an electric starting motor that automatically starts an internal-combustion engine
part: electric_motor a motor that converts electricity to mechanical work
part: armature coil in which voltage is induced by motion through a magnetic field
part: brush.electrical_device conducts current between rotating and stationary parts of a generator or motor
part: field_magnet__fieldmagnet a magnet that provides a magnetic field in a dynamo or electric motor
part: rotor_coil__rotorcoil__rotor the rotating armature of a motor or generator
part: stator_coil__stator mechanical device consisting of the stationary part of a motor or generator in or around which the rotor revolves
part: supercharger compressor that forces increased oxygen into the cylinders of an internal-combustion engine
