Otto Engines

Otto engines, also known as gasoline engines, are internal combustion engines used in most cars. They operate by drawing in a mixture of air and gasoline, compressing it tightly, and then igniting it with a spark. This explosion pushes a piston down, turning a crankshaft that powers the vehicle. The process repeats rapidly, creating continuous motion. Otto engines are valued for their efficiency and ability to produce high power from a relatively small engine, making them ideal for transportation. Their design was pioneered by Nikola Otto in the late 19th century and remains the foundation of most gasoline-powered vehicles today.
