O riginally published in Dec 8th, 2019 on GROW's website . We almost take our Internal Combustion Engines for granted, don’t we? All we do is buy our vehicles, hop in and drive around. There is, however, a history of development to know about.

It was loud, it used to roar and it used to be rather bulky. In fact, one of the very first engine designs to be conceived wasn’t even like the engine we know so well of today. An internal combustion engine is defined as an engine in which the chemical energy of the fuel is released inside the engine and used directly for mechanical work, as opposed to an external combustion engine in which a separate combustor is used to burn the fuel....
