2. Model engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_engine

   This article concerns itself with the methanol engines; gasoline-powered model engines are similar to those built for use in string trimmers, chainsaws, and other yard equipment, unless they happen to be purpose-built for aeromodeling use, being especially true for four-stroke gasoline-fueled model engines. Such engines usually use a fuel that ...

3. Glow plug (model engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_plug_(model_engine)

   The glow plugs used in model engines are significantly different from those used in full-size diesel engines. In full-size engines, the glow plug is used only for starting. In model engines, the glow plug is an integral part of the ignition system because of the catalytic effect of the platinum wire. The glow plug is a durable, mostly platinum ...

4. Gasoline direct injection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_direct_injection

   Gasoline direct injection (GDI), also known as petrol direct injection (PDI), [1] is a mixture formation system for internal combustion engines that run on gasoline (petrol), where fuel is injected into the combustion chamber. This is distinct from manifold injection systems, which inject fuel into the intake manifold (inlet manifold).

5. GM Family 1 engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Family_1_engine

   They feature an SOHC head with 2-valves per cylinder, and is fed by a multi-point fuel injection system, which allows it to run on either E100 (pure ethanol) or E25 gasoline (standard in Brazil). Major differences between previous engines include reduced friction, lowered weight, individual coil-near-plug ignition, and a new cylinder head design.

6. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

   In the case of a CI engine, the fuel injector quickly injects fuel into the combustion chamber as a spray; the fuel ignites due to the high temperature. Power or working stroke: The pressure of the combustion gases pushes the piston downward, generating more kinetic energy than is required to compress the charge.

7. Carbureted compression ignition model engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbureted_compression...

   There also exist model diesels with fixed compression heads. A few examples are the British 5 cc OWAT or the American DRONE. These engines have a fixed compression ratio, but the compression can be altered slightly with the use of more or less lubrication oil in the fuel. Also the engine's load affects the compression and ignition timing.

8. Ford Model A engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_A_engine

   The Model A engine uses a centrifugal water pump, mounted to the engine cylinder head, and it works with the engine fan. The Model A engine uses plain water to cool the engine; antifreeze coolant is not recommended because the original Model A radiator is not a pressurized system. The pump circulates radiator-cooled water into the lower engine ...

9. Naturally aspirated engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally_aspirated_engine

   In a naturally aspirated engine, air for combustion (Diesel cycle in a diesel engine or specific types of Otto cycle in petrol engines, namely petrol direct injection) or an air/fuel mixture (traditional Otto cycle petrol engines), is drawn into the engine's cylinders by atmospheric pressure acting against a partial vacuum that occurs as the piston travels downwards toward bottom dead centre ...
