There are intake and exhaust "cycles". A 2 stroke goes so much quicker because it it simply intake exhaust, generating power rather fast compared to the 4 cycle engines making power in the cycle half as often. The valving on 4 strokes allows for many things but they are never quite as quick as two stroke engines.

What are the basic important components of IC engine?

The air intake system, carbourator or fuel injection system, combustion chamber, ignition source (spark or compression), and exhaust port or valve. This is very broad you could find much more by specifics looking into 4 stoke gasoline engines, 2 stroke gasoline engines, 4 stroke Diesel engines, and 2 stroke Diesel engines.


What is the difference between two and four stroke engines?

In a 4-stroke engine, the steps (strokes) are:Intake stroke: During the intake stroke, the piston goes down from the top of the cylinder to the bottom, reducing the pressure inside the cylinder. It then draws a mixture of fuel and air into the cylinder through the intake port, ready for the compression stroke.Compression stroke: With both intake and exhaust valves closed, the piston goes back up to the top of the cylinder compressing the fuel-air mixture. This is what happens during the compression stroke.Power stroke: The compressed air-fuel mixture is then ignited by a spark. The pressure from the fuel-air mixture combustion drives the piston back down with humongous force, keeping the crankshaft turning. This is the power stroke phase, which is the main source of the engine's torque and power.Exhaust stroke: Finally, during the exhaust stroke, the piston again goes up and pushes the burned gas from the cylinder out the exhaust valve.Something worth mentioning is that the spark plug only fires once every two revolutions in a 4-stroke engine. Unlike the four stroke one, a two stroke engine has three strokes combined into one action, meaning the intake and exhaust are both integrated into the compression movement of the piston, therefore eliminating the need for valves. This is thanks to an inlet and exhaust port integrated into the wall of the combustion chamber.As the piston goes down from combustion, spent gasses are allowed to exit the chamber through the exhaust port. The air-fuel mixture is drawn through an inlet located lower in the chamber. As the piston rises again, it blocks off the inlet and exhaust ports, compressing the gasses at the top of the chamber. The spark plug fires and the process starts over.The spark plug fires on every revolution.=====A two stroke engine can produce twice the amount of power (and makes twice as much noise) than a four stroke engine of the same size. This is because it fires once every revolution, giving it twice the power of a four stroke, which only fires once every other revolution. Significantly, it also has a higher weight-to-power ratio because it is much lighter.Two stroke engines are simpler and cheaper to manufacture compared to four stroke engines because of their simpler design. Four stroke engines are longer lasting than two stroke engines that don't have a dedicated lubricating system. However, the spark plugs in a two stroke engine last longer than those in a four stroke engine.Four stroke engines are more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly when compared to two stroke engines that also create an unpleasant smell. Two stroke engines are responsible for much more pollution due to the combustion of the oil that has to be added to the fuel to lubricate the piston.


Does hydrogen have an energy source?

Hydrogen itself is not an energy source, but it can be used as a clean and efficient energy carrier. It can be produced through various methods, such as electrolysis of water using renewable electricity, and used in fuel cells or combustion engines to generate electricity or power vehicles.

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.


Does geothermal renewable?

Which is a necessary part or input for all heat engines?

A necessary input for all heat engines is a high-temperature heat source to provide the thermal energy needed for the engine to operate. This heat source drives the conversion of heat energy into mechanical work through a thermodynamic cycle, making it an essential component of the engine.


What is a device that converts thermal energy into work?

A device that converts thermal energy into work is called a heat engine. Heat engines take thermal energy from a heat source, such as combustion or nuclear reactions, and convert it into mechanical work through processes like expansion of gases or steam. Examples include steam engines and internal combustion engines.
