The most common type is the [[reciprocating engine]], which uses the up-and-down motion of pistons to convert pressure from expanding gasses into rotational motion.<ref>Infoplease. (November 2, 2015). ''Reciprocating Engine'' [Online]. Available: http</ins>:<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">//www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/science/internal-combustion-engine-reciprocating-engines.html</ref> As well as the internal combustion engine, [[steam engine]]s and [[Stirling engine]]s are types of reciprocating engines. The other main type of engine is a [[rotary engine]]. This type of engine uses a rotating triangular [[rotor]] instead of pistons to convert heat from the [[combustion]] of an air/fuel mixture into useful work.<ref> How Stuff Works.

The different engines are gasoline and diesel engines. In a [[gasoline engine]], an air/fuel mixture in the engine is ignited with the assistance of a spark from a [[spark plug]]. This then causes the gas to heat and expand, moving pistons. A [[diesel engine]] runs in a slightly different manner, igniting the air/fuel mixture through compression instead of using a spark.<ref>HowStuffWorks. (November 2, 2015). ''Diesel Engine'' [Online].
