It seems easy to turn the key, shift into first gear, and watch the car move. It's people who don't remember the engine, the heart of the car, which, at that time, doesn't stop working. Its function is to receive the fuel (gasoline, ethanol, natural gas or diesel) and transform it into the energy that will move the wheels. This is only possible due to the cylinders, small chambers where the pistons are located, which, after burning the fuel, move and carry mechanical energy to the transmission system - which, in the end, distributes the energy to the wheels. Result? Bon Voyage!
