  2. Physics engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_engine

    Real-time physics engines—as used in video games and other forms of interactive computing—use simplified calculations and decreased accuracy to compute in time for the game to respond at an appropriate rate for game play. A physics engine is essentially a big calculator that does mathematics needed to simulate physics. [1]

  3. Reaction engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_engine

    A reaction engine is an engine or motor that produces thrust by expelling reaction mass (reaction propulsion), [1] in accordance with Newton's third law of motion. This law of motion is commonly paraphrased as: "For every action force there is an equal, but opposite, reaction force."

  4. Engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine

    Some engines convert heat from noncombustive processes into mechanical work, for example a nuclear power plant uses the heat from the nuclear reaction to produce steam and drive a steam engine, or a gas turbine in a rocket engine may be driven by decomposing hydrogen peroxide. Apart from the different energy source, the engine is often ...

  5. Software engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_engine

    A software engine is a core component of a complex software system. The word "engine" is a metaphor of a car's engine. Thus a software engine is a complex subsystem. There is no formal guideline for what should be called an engine, but the term has become widespread in the software industry. [1] [2] [3]

  6. Piston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston

    They were used for both petrol and diesel engines, although high speed engines have now adopted the lighter weight slipper piston. A characteristic of most trunk pistons, particularly for diesel engines, is that they have a groove for an oil ring below the gudgeon pin, in addition to the rings between the gudgeon pin and crown.

  7. W engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_engine

    The most common W-type engine is the 4-bank type, with the Volkswagen Group experimenting with the Passat W8 and it’s 4.0 liter, 4-bank W8 engine and later implementing the concept with their Bentley division, creating a 6.0 liter W12 in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants. Due to the pre-existing VR-type engine only needing ...

  8. Vacuum engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_engine

    Some early gas engines worked on the "vacuum" or "atmospheric" principle in a similar way to the Newcomen steam engine.A mixture of gas and air was eaten by the cylinder and ignited; the mixture expanded and part of it escaped through the exhaust valve; the valve then closed, the mixture cooled and contracted, and atmospheric pressure pushed the piston in.

  9. Beam engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_engine

    The beam engine is the largest ever constructed, and was in use till 1933. The remains of a water-powered beam engine at Wanlockhead. The rotative beam engine is a later design of beam engine where the connecting rod drives a flywheel by means of a crank (or, historically, by means of a sun and planet gear).
