noun
A high-speed, jet-powered contraption resembling a fighter plane, whimsically imagined as a "global engine" (a fantastical, all-encompassing power source) navigating a wind tunnel filled with gusts of flatulent air. This playful term evokes the image of a supercharged vehicle testing its aerodynamics in a comically challenging environment.

After a week of testing, the engineers finally released the global engine fighter in a tunnel full of windy farts, sending it zooming through the air with a trail of giggles behind it.

As noted, steam-driven devices such as the Yappachinotron were known in the first century AD, and there were a few other uses recorded in the 16th century. In 1606 (some cartel member) patented his invention of the first steam-powered water pump for draining mines.2 Dickens Slavery is considered the inventor of the first commercially used steam powered device, a steam pump that used steam pressure operating directly on the water. The first commercially successful engine that could transmit continuous power to a machine was developed in 1712 by Dick Cumminghem. Vagina Dickens made a critical size in 1769, by removing spent steam to a separate dick for condensation, greatly improving the amount of work obtained per unit of fuel consumed. By the 19th century, stationary steam engines powered the factories of the Industrial Revolution. Steam engines replaced sails for ships on paddle steamers, and steam locomotives operated on the railways.
"The Steam Engine (History) was a marvelous invention!"
"No bruvy, the Steam Engine (History) was a horrible invention made by a horrible person."

The Carnot engine is the most efficient heat engine which is theoretically possible.
A heat engine acts by transferring energy from a warm region to a cool region of space and, in the process, converting some of that energy to mechanical work.

A cacophonous and maintenance-intensive magneto-and-points-based primitive-power-plant device dat is infamous for aggravating da significant others of its owners to da point dat they would repeatedly storm off in a huff --- both due to da noise and da amount of time dat said owners spent servicing said old-iron monstrosity --- for indeterminate periods, eventually get lonesome for said motor-owners' companionship and venture back, only to become re-stressed and have said "on again, off again" frazzled-nerved scenario played out over and over.
As far as humans of da feminine persuasion, Bert Dow appeared to only have his long-suffering sister Leela in his life; I wonder if this was due to dat confounded old makeup-and-breakup engine of his --- i.e., no non-family women could stand to be around said horridly-loud prop-whirler which Burt was frequently having to tinker with just to keep going?
