Well the only way the two are similar is that they both mechanically power or drive something. They both generate power and energy. But one runs off electricity usually magnetic energy. An internal combustion engine runs off a fuel such as gasoline or diesel fuel and emits gases i.e Carbon Monoxide harmful to you and your kids, an electric motor ,"by the way anything that runs off electicity is call a motor not an engine", does not emit any pollutants.
a gasoline engine is an Internal combustion engine
Internal combustion engine.
and internal combustion engine and a gasoline engine are the same thing.
Reciprocating engines (piston engines) are internal combustion engines. Rotary engines ( Wankel engine) is also an internal combustion engine. In general, all types of engines in which the combustion chamber is an integrating part of the engine is considered a internal combustion engine.
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler
combustion engine
The four-stroke engine used in automobiles is an example of an internal combustion engine.
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
An internal combustion engine which draws in air for combustion without aid of turbo charger or similar, is said to be naturally aspirated.
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the exhaust valve.
Gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine where a diesel is an internal compression engine. Gasoline is highly flammable and explodes when an electrical spark is applied to it where diesel explodes when it is put under pressure
The internal combustion engine give rise to the auto industry.
