An engine is a block or piece of metal which can produce forces such as thrust, rotation or other forces. There are different types of engines: vehicle engines (such as for cars), aircraft engines, naval engines and rocket engines.
Engines mainly work by compressing a gas, such as oxygen or hydrogen, and fuel, into a highly flammable mix, then detonating it, which in turn creates two things: thrust and waste gas. The thrusting force can be used to turn a piston or can be directly ejected and power a vehicle forward.
Vehicle engines can come in different types: in-line/straight (meaning the pistons are in a single row), V-shape (where the pistons are in two rows, at roughly 30 degrees), or W-shape (where there are 4 rows in the shape of a W).

Get the testing rocket engines for NASA mug.A particularly large tonk (vape) that is often passed around the toilets of a private school. some may say it is passed around more than Taylor swift? its name is Thomas due to the unfathomably large clouds it produces. it is usually able to hot box an entire bathroom within 3 chongs.
Simon chap can I Chong on Thomas the tonk engine - his clouds really are spectacular *teacher enters* " urm chaps, is that a Tonk Engine im seeing?" students would reply along the lines of "ah yes sir it is" and the teacher usually says something like " ooh thats dank bruv give us a couple pullies"
