With combustion (explosion) the energy created has to go somewhere - so it expands within the chamber thereby forcing the piston to move downwards. When repeated rapidly and with more than once cylinder, the engine propels the vehicle, provided of course that the transmission is in the proper gear.

How do internal combustion engines work?

Internal combustion engines work by burning a mixture of fuel and air inside a combustion chamber. This creates a controlled explosion that pushes pistons, which then turn a crankshaft to generate power. The power produced is used to move the vehicle or machinery.


What makes piston move against gravity?

In the combustion process, the explosion pushes the piston down


How does a combustion chamber works?

the conbustion chamber works the with oil and heat the top of the engine has 3 to4 sparks plugs witch ignites the the pistons to move up and down one it ignites conbon monoxide is pushed out of the exhaust system.


What does gasoline provide for cars to move?

Gasoline is mixed with air as it enters the engine's combustion chamber and a spark ignites the highly flammable air/fuel mixture creating a chemical reaction (small explosion) that forces the piston down that creates a rotary motion via the crank shaft that then turns the transmission gears that provides your tires power to move


How does gasoline work?

Gasoline is mixed with an air mixture. The air/fuel mixture is compressed and then ignited in the combustion chamber of an engine. The explosion from this ignition forces the piston down which in turn turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft delivers power to the transmission which makes the vehicle move. This is a simplistic explanation of how gasoline powers a vehicle. Good luck.


What tranafers thermal energy to move pistons that provide power?

In an internal combustion engine, the burning of fuel in the combustion chamber generates high temperature and pressure gases that transfer thermal energy to move the pistons. This movement creates mechanical work that drives the engine and provides power for vehicles or other applications.


Why do water move into a apparatus of combustion?

Water does move into the apparatus of combustion because of the reduced pressure.


What happens when too much fuel gets into combustion chamber?

The engine "floods." With most cars, a flooded engine will not start. The general way to start a flooded engine is to "crank" it while holding the "gas" pedal all the way to the floor for 5-10 seconds. (Just hold it there, don't move it.) This will often clear the excess gas from the combustion chamber.


How can you make Glalie learn Explosion in Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness?

You can't make Glalie learn Explosion in "Pokémon XD" however in order for it to learn Explosion you could trade it over to FireRed, LeafGreen or Emerald and have a Move Tutor in 1 of those games teach Explosion to your Glalie.


How and where do you use explosion on Pokemon FireRed?

The move explosion can be taught to Pokemon by a move tutor in Mt ember you can use it anytime during a Pokemon battle however it will make your Pokemon faint every time you use it so use it sparingly.


What makes a vehicle move?

I'm not sure about other vehicles, but I can tell you how a car moves. In the engine, there are four steps that need to occur. They are intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. Fuel and air is put into the chamber, the piston compresses the mixture causing it to combust, and then releases it as exhaust. The power from the combustion stage is what causes the engine to move the vehicle. Hope this helps :)
