aircraft, as steam engine power/weight too low
The four-stroke engine used in automobiles is an example of an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion refers to an engine were the combustion process takes place inside the engine. The cylinders in question are an internal portion of the cylinder block which houses the crankshaft, connecting rods and the pistons which move up and down in the cylinder drawing in the air fuel mixture, are forced down by the combustion process, and push the spend fuel charge out of the cylinder at the end of the cycle. An example of an external combustion engine would be a steam engine where the combustion takes place in a boiler external to the engine and the steam generated by the boiler is used to motivate the engine.
Internal is the opposite of external. It is an adjective referring to things or situations on the inside. For example, in an internal combustion engine, all of the combustion (explosions) happen inside the engine. The internal affairs of an organization are the affairs (issues) of the personnel within the organization, and internal bleeding is when something inside the body is bleeding.
Today - no. But they are working on it. If they can find a way to efficiently separate the hydrogen from the oxygen you can run a vehicle on the hydrogen.
