An internal combustion engine was a heat engine in which combustion occurred at high temperatures and/or pressures. Automobiles in the 20th and 21st centuries were powered by these engines, which were fueled by gasoline. A side-effect of the use of these engines was the production of smog.

- The internal combustion engine is a heat engine in which combustion occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. Combustion of a fuel creates high temperature/pressure gases, which are permitted to expand. The expanding gases are used to directly move a piston, turbine blades, rotor(s), or the engine itself thus doing useful work.

| abstract
| - The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of fuel and an oxidizer (typically air) occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. This exothermic reaction creates gases at high temperature and pressure, which are permitted to expand. The defining feature of an internal combustion engine is that useful work is performed by the expanding hot gases acting directly to cause movement of solid parts of the engine, by acting on pistons, rotors, or even by pressing on and moving the entire engine itself. This contrasts with external combustion engines, such as steam engines and Stirling engines, which use an external combustion chamber to heat a separate working fluid, which then in turn does work, for example by moving a piston or a turbine. This brief summary is an extract from wikipedia article for full article see Here There are various other types of engine;

The term Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is almost always used to refer specifically to reciprocating piston engines, Wankels and similar designs in which combustion is intermittent. However, continuous combustion engines, such as jet engines, most rockets and many gas turbines are also internal combustion engines.
- An internal combustion engine (also called the combustion engine) was a type of motor that used the burning of a fuel to create mechanical energy that would propel various vehicles. In 2268 the ground vehicles on the Gorn planet of Seudath were powered by combustion engines. (VAN - Declassified novella: The Stars Look Down) One superstition that Montgomery Scott had developed a belief in was that of gremlins. By all indications, Scott succeeded in trapping such a being in 2286 after the USS Enterprise-A was plagued by a series of equipment failures. Scott placed a well-tuned internal combustion engine in an empty torpedo casing, and when the engine began to fail, Scott launched the torpedo towards an out-of-service space buoy in order to keep the being occupied while the ship moved away. Because of the mechanical failures, no records of the nature of the being were made. (TOS novel: The Better Man)
