Csu Internal Combustion Engines

Students explain the four stroke process in internal combustion engines. In this physics lesson, students role play this process and present their reenactment in class. They draw and label the diagram of an internal combustion engine.

Following this procedure, eager engineers construct a working model of a piston system, similar to that in an internal combustion engine. Perfect for STEM or automotive technology classes, the activity comes complete with analysis and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explains what an internal combustion engine is, how it works, and how kinetic energy from the engine turns the wheels of a car.

This simulation allows students to interact with different components of a complex real world phenomenon. The simulation shown is of a 4-stroke internal combustion engine. The thermodynamic cycle being simulated is the Otto cycle, which...

Teach your environmental studies, life science, or engineering class how an internal combustion engine works using the first few slides of the accompanying presentation. Then, focus in on the resulting carbon emissions. Finally, take a...

View a four-stroke internal combustion engine and see how its different parts such as pistons, valves, and spark plugs work together to help get cars moving. [1:40]

High schoolers perform an experiment which simulates what happens inside an internal combustion engine. They explain how the chemical reaction they witnessed is similar to what happens inside the car engine.

The different parts of a car engine digitally come together to assemble the engine in its totality. Once assembled, the machine moves to show internal combustion. Music plays, but no explanation or narration is given. Show to your...

Checks that students understand the steps involved in an internal combustion engine.

Traces the historical evolution of the diesel engine. Explains the distinction between gasoline engines and diesel engines. Discusses the uses of diesel engines. Interesting, anecdotal and well-written. (Text is the actual radio...
