#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
