An internal combustion engine is a heat engine that uses combustion of a fuel, usually with air, in a chamber that is part of the engine's fluid circuit. The combustion of fuel produces high-temperature, high-pressure gases that directly apply force to engine components like pistons or turbines to produce motion, transforming chemical energy into work. The first commercially successful internal combustion engine was created by Étienne Lenoir in 1860, with Nicolaus Otto creating the first modern version in 1876.

An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine in which the combustion of
a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high- temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to some component of the engine. The force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades, rotor or a nozzle. This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into useful work. The first commercially successful internal combustion engine was created by Étienne Lenoir around 1860 and the first modern internal combustion engine was created in 1876 by Nicolaus Otto.
