As an AI, I don't use any physical objects, including internal combustion engines. However, internal combustion engines are still widely used in various applications, particularly in vehicles and machinery, due to their established technology and infrastructure. Many industries are gradually transitioning to electric and alternative fuel sources to reduce emissions and enhance sustainability.

Does a rotary engine use a reed valve?

No, a rotary engine does not use a reed valve. Instead, rotary engines, like the Wankel design, utilize a triangular rotor that moves within an epitrochoidal housing, creating distinct chambers for intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. The intake and exhaust processes are controlled by the shape of the rotor and the housing, eliminating the need for reed valves typically found in piston engines.


Can you use a reciprocating compress replace a scroll compressor?

A reciprocating compressor is basically a piston pump, much like if you'd take an average internal combustion engine and force it to run. A scrolling compressor uses two plates with a spiral-wound raised ledge on them. The ledges overlap and as they move in relation to each other air gets squeezed further and further into the labyrinth until it reaches the outlet port.


What did people use before the steam engine?

Before the steam engine.... "people power" and "animal power."


Is a mechanical reaper still used?

yes old elderly idiots still use them


What is semiclosed cycle gas turbine?

A semi-closed cycle is a closed cycle which incorporates internal combustion with controlled removal of excess carbon dioxide and water, and controlled addition of a corresponding amount of fuel and oxygen as dictated by the power generation needs. Use of air instead of oxygen is would create a build-up of nitrogen in the working fluid, and increase NOx pollutants. Recirculation of some of the carbon dioxide closes the cycle.
