enginesDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, searchFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An engine (or motor) is a machine designed to convert energy into useful mechanical motion. Engines come in many types, a common type is a heat engine such as an internal combustion engine which typically burns a fuel with air and uses the hot gases for generating power. External combustion engines such as steam engines use heat to generate motion via a separate working fluid. Another common type is the electric motor. This takes electrical energy and generates mechanical motion via varying electromagnetic fields. From Wikipedia under the

Q. a) Steam engines do not use the combustion of fuel. b)Pistons are found only in internal combustion engines. c)In steam engines, combustion occures externally. d)Internal combustion engines are larger.

The engine has blown on my 94 Lesabre. The car had 72K miles on it and besides the neglect by the "pro's" @ Walmart Tire and Lube, is in great shape. While I am in a dispute with Walmart, I am looking for a new (or used) engine to replace it with, but am not sure what other engines (from which makes/models and years will "fit"). Does anyone know of a source to look up this type of info. Thanks! Asked by Gia_Mia - Mon Oct 22 15:31:29 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. You're best bet which is also the cheapest and easiest option would to be go with the same engine you had. If you install a larger engine you'll probably have to change or modify the transmission, cooling system and emissions computer, that's only for starters. Gone are the days when engine swapping could be done with just a little modification of the motor mounts and a couple adapter plates.

Q. Specifically emphasizing fuel flow (Gallons per hour in aircraft, miles per gallon in automobiles) & comparing, obviously, piston engines producing 100-300Hp. Asked by Protowing - Fri Dec 29 13:19:48 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. You're kind of comparing apples and oranges. Maybe you should think along the lines of power to weight ratio. Say the engine in a mid size car weighs 400 lb and produces 250 horsepower. The GE T700 turboshaft used in helicopters ( Apache, Blackhawk, and others), M-1 tanks, and some turboprop planes, weighs about 450 lbs and produces around 1700 hp at sea level. On jets, you have a turbofan engine. The GE90 on the 777 is about 134" across, weighs 16,000 lbs, produces 93,000 lbs of thrust. One variant holds a record for around 120,000 lbs of thrust. A loaded 777, different versions have different weights and engines, is around 550,000 lbs. And a light 777 can accellerate to 60 mph faster than many cars. I don't think you can compare fuel… [cont.] Answered by JET_DOC - Mon Jan 1 10:05:05 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "engines"  video.google.com Thu, 28 Dec 2006 13:47:18 PST I have another video up on google video about our car, with it at the track, but found this one again today.
