Internal Combustion (IC) engines are not only used in the automotive engineering and automobile engineering industries. They are used to rotate pumps, generator rotors, fans, and many other machines. But what are internal combustion engines? Why do we use petrol/gasoline and diesel fuels instead of just one type of fuel? And how do these astounding machines work? This course will answer all of these questions and many more.

What will you learn in this course?

• How petrol and diesel engines work?
• How do internal combustion (IC) engines work?
• How do two-stroke engines work?
• How do four-stroke engines work?
• What are the differences between petrol/gasoline and diesel engines are?
• Identify all of an engine's main components and their function (crankshaft, piston, camshaft, etc.)

Irrespective of your background, learning about internal combustion engines will benefit you greatly. They are used as prime movers in cars, vans, trains, motorbikes, scooters, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and many other machines. So even if you are not an engineer, or training to become one, the knowledge you gain will always be useful, because a combustion engine is never far away.

An engineer with 17 years of experience teaches this course. You're in good hands.

What is included as part of the course?

• Interactive 3D models have been used to show you every engine component in detail
• 3D animations show how each engine and part work
• 2D images have been used to highlight areas of interest
