An
engine is something that produces some effect, normally called
work from a given input. In
automobiles this effect is rotational
torque which causes motion. In a
3d game this might be
animation. The origin of
engineering was the working of engines.
There is an overlap in English between 'Those who operate engines' and 'those who design and construct new items'.
Typical car engines include rotary engine's, orbital?, straight?, V6 and V8.
All of these configurations refer to the movement of the pistons within the cylinder? block,
