Four Stroke Bike Engine just like a car is as follows.\nThe Intake Stroke: \nOn the intake stroke, the intake valve has opened. The piston is moving down, and a mixture of air and vaporized fuel is being pushed by atmospheric pressure into the cylinder through the intake valve port. \n\nThe Compression Stroke: \n\nAfter the piston reaches the lower limit of its travel, it begins to move upward. As this happens, the intake valve closes. The exhaust valve is also closed, so the cylinder is sealed. As the piston moves upward, the air/fuel mixture is compressed. On some small high compression engines, by the time the piston reaches the top of its travel, the mixture is compressed to as little as one-tenth its original volume. Thus, the compression of the air/fuel mixture increases the pressure in the cylinder. The compression process also creates the air/fuel mixture to increase in temperature. \n\nThe Power Stroke: \nAs the piston reaches the top of its travel on the compression stroke, an electric spark is produced at the spark plug. The ignition system delivers a high voltage surge of electricity to the spark plug to create the spark. The spark ignites the air/fuel mixture. The mixture burns rapidly and cylinder pressure increases to as much as (600psi). All of this pressure against the piston forces it down in the cylinder. The power impulse is transmitted down through the piston, through the piston rod (connecting rod), and to the crankshaft. The crankshaft is rotated due to the force. \n\nThe Exhaust Stroke: \nAs the piston reaches the bottom of its travel, the exhaust valve opens. Now, as the piston moves up on the exhaust stroke, it forces the burned gases out of the cylinder through the exhaust port. When the piston reaches the top of its travel, the exhaust valve closes, and the intake valve opens. The cycle repeats again with the intake stroke. The four strokes are continuously repeated during the operation of the engine. \nThe system repeats itself until you cut the engine off.\n\nTwo Stroke Engine (Those load noisy dirt bikes)\n1st stroke: The piston is at the bottom of the cylinder. A pipe at the left side is opened and lets the fuel mixture, which is already compressed a bit, flow from the lower to the upper part of the cylinder. The fresh gases expulse now the exhaust through an ejection pipe, which is not closed by the piston at this moment.\n\n2nd stroke: After being hurried upward, the piston now covers the pipe on the left side and the ejection pipe. Because there is no way out any more, the upper, fresh gas mixture gets compressed now. At the same time in the part below fresh gas is taken in by the piston driving upward through the open suction pipe. At the upper dead-center, the compressed fuel mixture is ignited by the sparking plug, the piston is pressed downward while he compresses at the same time the fresh gas below. The process begins again as soon as the piston arrives at its lowest point.

petrol or gas engine is internal combustion engine that uses ignition spark to ingnite the fuel air mixture. a diesel engine compresses the fuel air to ignite the mixture. petrol.....spark plugs & diesel....no spark plugs

I'm not 100% familiar with this but this should be pretty close to the answer.  Simple/standard crane motors work by applying power first through a rotating steel shaft into a gearbox.  The gearbox allows the gearing ratio to be changed (to trade rotation speed for torque or torque for rotation speed).  Another steel shaft carries the power out of the gearbox, again through rotation, to a spindle (think big thimble) around which steel cable is wrapped.  So the motor rotates this spindle to wind in the cable or unwind the cable to lift things or lower things.\n\nHere is a good page on cranes:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_%28machine%29\n\nHere is a good page on motors:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

hey men first know wat is a turbine.\nA turbine is a prime-mover used to provide the mechanical energy required for the generator.\nPrinciple of generators:\nwhenever a flux linking in a conductor changes there is an emf induced in the conductor.\n\nhere the flux is provided initially by a battery or some electrical source and the mechanical energy is provided by the turbine.\n\nIf u see the Mechnical energy from the turbine is converted into electrical.\nRemember energy can be converted from one form to another.This is the basic law.

Step 1: Sign up for a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course nearby.\n\nStep 2: Follow their teachings.\n\nBut generally, on the right side of the bike the grip is your throttle, the lever by the grip is your front brake, and the pedal by the foot peg is your rear break.\n\nOn the left side, the lever is the clutch and the pedal is the shifter. Start by holding in the clutch and pushing the shifter down to engage 1st gear. Slowly release the clutch as you accelerate and there you go. When the revs get too high, engage the clutch, pull the lever up to shift to 2nd, release clutch, continue accelerating. Repeat as needed.\n\nWhen slowing down, do the oposite to downshift. To stop, using the front brake (right hand lever) for about 75% of your braking power and the rear brake (right foot) for 25%. As you come to a stop, shift to 1st and place your left foot down to provide stability.\n\nEDIT: The above is just merely factual information on how a motorcycle works. There is ALOT more to it, such as proper steering techniques. Get training. Trail and error is both expensive and painful. Besides, the courses are fun and a great way of meeting other bikers. Also, they provide the bikes so you can try before you buy.

think of you engine as a vacuum. when you depress the gas pedal it opens the air intake, allowing more air and fuel to enter the engine, creating a bigger explosion inside of the engine which then causes the engine to spin faster, thus it speeds up.

A generator is basically a motor that works backwards.  \n\nIn a motor, a wire coil is wound around a magnetic core but not attached to it. The magnetic shaft has bearings either end to allow it to rotate. When current goes through the coil it makes the magnet rotate (electromagnetic induction).\n\nIn a generator, the magnet shaft is rotated by a small diesel engine with a pulley and belt.  The movement of the magnet shaft inside the coil induces electrical current in the wire coil.\n\nCheck www.howstuffworks.com for a decent write up with diagrams.

Since it's a 2-stroke it actually lubricates the motor from the oil you mix in your gas. The oil your looking for is for the crankcase or transmission. Use a 80 to 90 wieght trans oil. Here is a link of what I used to run in my bike.\nhttp://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?skuId=&store=Main&catId=120&productId=p30220&leafCatId=12004&mmyId=#altImages

Any electric motor can be replaced with a gas engine. They both spin. Some gas engines run on gasoline, some run on natural gas.\n\nOn the other hand, there are systems called "absorption chillers". There is a mixture of ammonia and water. That mixture is heated by burning natural gas. As the water is boiled off, it is cooled back to its liquid state and sprayed onto pure ammonia. The ammonia sucks up the water very quickly causing a vacuum effect. That vacuum effect causes a cooling effect which is then used to cool whatever you want. The water/ammonia mixture is brought back to another chamber where the cycle starts again.

It's a computer module that monitors and regulates a lot of things in an engine. With input such as revolutions (rpm), oil and water temperature, air density and oxygen levels in the exhaust it determines and regulates things like the firing moment of the spark plug and the amount of fuel to be injected ito the cylinder.\nPlease read the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_Control_Unit

An internal combustion engine perhaps?

Think of it like riding a bicycle, you have to push down on the pedals to make the chain go round.  Gasoline explodes inside the engine pushing the pistons down which in turn turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft turns the parts inside the transmission, the transmission turns the drive shaft and the drive shaft turns the wheels

The jet engine has impellors inside it thatpull air into the engine through a channel called a venturi that tapers towards the center of the engine to a very small diameter.  The force of air through the venturi creates large amounts of heat from friction (like a diesel engine), and what happens is the jet fuel is introduced just before the smallest part of the venturi, causing it to combust and create the energy, or "thrust" you mentioned.  At the rear of the engine, there are dampers to restrict the output of the thrust, controlling the vehicle's speed.  The weight of the vehicle MUSt be less than the thrust that is put out by the engine, or the engine won't have enough power to move the vehicle.\n\nAs far as recycling, no idea.  Hoped the jet answer helps.

A mechanical fuel pump uses the rotation of the engine (normally a lobe on the cam shaft) to power it, whereas an electrical fuel pump is powered by the vehicles battery.
