Welcome to this video on engines.

An engine is a machine that converts heat energy into

mechanical energy. In this video, we will discuss the different types of engines, their working
principles, and their common applications.

Engines can be broadly classified into two categories - thermal engines and non-thermal
engines.

Thermal engines convert heat energy into mechanical energy by burning fuel, whereas non-
thermal engines use sources of energy other than heat to generate motion.The most common
type of thermal engine is the internal combustion engine. This engine works on the principle of
burning fuel in a closed cylinder, which, in turn, pushes a piston, generating mechanical energy.
The internal combustion engine is used in cars, motorcycles, airplanes, and boats.Another type
of thermal engine is the steam engine. This engine uses heat from burning coal, wood, or oil to
create steam, which is then used to power turbines or machinery. Steam engines were used
extensively during the industrial revolution and were the primary power source for factories
and trains.

Next, let's talk about non-thermal engines. The most common type of non-thermal engine is
the electric motor. An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, such as
when you plug in a power tool or use an electric car. Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly
popular due to their low carbon footprint and high efficiency.Lastly, we have the hydraulic
engine. This engine uses pressurized liquids, such as water or oil, to generate mechanical
energy. Hydraulic engines are commonly used in heavy machinery, such as cranes, excavators,
and bulldozers.

Engines have revolutionized the way we live our lives. From powering our cars and machines to
generating electricity and transporting goods, engines have changed the course of human
history. Today, there are many different types of engines, each with its unique characteristics
and applications. Understanding the principles of engines is not only fascinating, but it can also
help us make informed decisions about how we use energy and resources in our daily lives.
