The most common types of internal combustion engine and how they work. The crank then goes out to the gearbox via a flywheel and clutch, and the gearbox sends the rotary motion to the wheels, driving the vehicle forwards. The vertical movement of the piston is converted into rotary motion in the crank via connecting rods. The basic way all internal combustion engines work is to suck in a mixture of fuel and air, compress it, ignite it either with a spark plug or by self-igntion (in the case of a diesel engine), allow the explosion of combusting gasses to force the piston back down and then expel the exhaust gas.
