Internal combustion is easier to control than external combustion. Although, this question probobly is refereing to the differences between the internal combustion gasoline engine and electric cars. The answer would then be the limitations of energy storage of batteries or the high cost of fuel cells. Though great strides are being made in battery technology the problems of energy to weight, dependability, and initial cost, still persist. 1. Energy to weight is how far/fast can you go on a fill/charge. 2. Dependability is how many miles or charge/discharge cycles before the batteries wear out. 3. The initial cost of new technology is not just the cost of the parts but also building new factories and infrastructure. Hybrids overcome point source pollution, the main drawback of the internal combustion engine while bridging the current shortcoming's of electric.

What are some Different kinds of internal combustion engines?
The Wenkel engine
Battery ignition system in Internal Combustion engines?
In some, Not Diesels
What is atomisation in IC engine?
In internal-combustion engines, the mixing of fuel with air or some other oxidizer within the engine in order to achieve complete and rapid combustion of the fuel.
Internal-what is combustion engine used for?
a internal combustion engine is used in every make of car from racing to heavy mechanical diggers, Two types of internal combustion example two stroke mostly used for lawnmowers some motorbike's stroke used for all mechanical cars/buses/tractors /no valves in t/stroke. mostly eight valves used in cars.
What are some examples of usage?
Home heating, Cooking, Heating water. Fuel for internal combustion engines. To name a few.
What are types of engines other than internal combustion engine?
Steam EngineJet turbine EngineRotary EngineElectric EngineRocket EngineThe term 'engine' was originally coined to differentiate the "internal combustion" motor from all other previous types of motors. In the above mentioned answer, one should note that the jet turbine, the rocket, rotary and perhaps even the steam engines do have some sort of internal combustion. The proper term for the electric should be "Electric Motor"
Can you really power your car from water as claimed by some companies?
Only if your car has a steam engine. Water will not burn in an internal combustion engine.
What are the major advantages and disadvantages of using petrol in internal combustion engines?
Some of the major advantages of using petrol in an internal combustion engine include: ease of availability of petrol, non-corrosive nature of regular petrol, relative safety of liquefied petrol. Some of the disadvantages of petrol include: enviromental damage of unburned petrol and unrestrained Hydrocarbon emissions, steadily increasing price, petrol is relatively inefficient and production of CO2 even with perfect combustion.
What does an internal combustion engine run on?
an internal combustion engine means the source for ignition burns internally so the power gets soon without any loss. an external combustion means the source of ignition was outside so there was loss so less efficiency. an internal combustion engine means the source for ignition burns internally so the power gets soon without any loss. an external combustion means the source of ignition was outside so there was loss so less efficiency.
What are some small explosions that have useful purposes that the average person doesnt realize are explosions?
The power strokes occurring inside the cylinders of internal combustion engines.
Why was the development of the internal combustion engine so important to agriculture?
tractors are nice. But if you would rather farm a 8000 acre field with some horses get at man.
What does an internal combustion engine power?
There are way too many answers for that question. Basically any machine that uses natural gas, diesel fuel, petrol (Gasoline-USA) and kerosene will be driven by an internal combustion. These include most road going vehicles, most earthmoving equipment, marine vessels as well as a lot of fixed plant; generators, compressors refrigeration plant etc. Some electric vehicles are driven via a generator that runs of an internal combustion engine. Diesel-electric locomotives are a classic example of this.
