Within a small chamber, an internel combustion engine combines a precisely measured mix of fuel (typically petrol or diesil) and air. Once
ignited, this explosive combinasion causes an expansion of hot, presurised gases to exit the chamber, typically via pistons or a turbine. Thus
the chemical energy is converted, albeit often not very eficiently, into mechanical energy which can then be used to power motors and drive
machines.
