2. Diesel engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine

   1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).

3. Spark plug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug

   Spark plug with single side electrode An electric spark on the spark plug. A spark plug (sometimes, in British English, a sparking plug, [1] and, colloquially, a plug) is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within ...

4. Dual ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_ignition

   A Jabiru 5100 flat-8 four-stroke aircraft engine with dual ignition, with two spark plugs per cylinder and two distributors.. Dual Ignition is a system for spark-ignition engines, whereby critical ignition components, such as spark plugs and magnetos, are duplicated.

5. Two-stroke diesel engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_diesel_engine

   A two-stroke diesel engine is a diesel engine that uses compression ignition in a two-stroke combustion cycle. ... or a spark plug or other ignition system. Another ...

6. Firing order - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

   For this inline-4 engine, 1-3-4-2 could be a valid firing order.. The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders.. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated.

7. Component parts of internal combustion engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_parts_of...

   In both types of engines there are one or more cylinders (grey and green), and for each cylinder there is a spark plug (darker-grey, gasoline engines only), a piston (yellow), and a crankpin (purple). A single sweep of the cylinder by the piston in an upward or downward motion is known as a stroke.
