Best Answer

The crankshaft has counterweights which are placed in such a way as to provide momentum when the the power stroke of any piston is absent. This drives the crankshaft to spin until the next power stroke of a piston drives it further.

How does the egine make the car move?

The engine has a crankshaft that is connected to all the pistons in the engine. When the engine is running the pistons are moving up and down and are turning this crankshaft. The crankshaft in turn is spinning a shaft connected to the transmission. The transmission is turning a driveshaft that is connected to the differential which in turn is turning an axle connected to the wheels.


What is the device that receive the inertia and keeps the crankshaft rotating?

There is no device that keeps the crankshaft rotation, the internal explosion that happens when the spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture. I think you are refering to the flywheel.


What applies torque in an automobile engine?

To explain this in simple terms, when the spark plug fires, it burns the gas/air mixture. This causes an explosion. The explosion forces the piston down. This forcing the piston down causes the crankshaft, which the piston is connected to, to turn. The turning of the crankshaft creates a turning force. This force or energy is sent to the transmission by way of the torque converter. This torque converter takes this turning power and turns into energy the tranmission can use. In turn the tranmission does its job and it turns the axis. This is what causes the wheels to turn. So the torque itself is created by the downward force of the pistons.

What is a turning force?

The turning effects of forces are known as moments. A moment is computed by multiplying the force by the perpendicular distance from its line of action to the fulcrum.
