* Generators: Small to medium-sized generators often use modified car engines for power generation, particularly in portable or emergency situations.
* Motorcycles and ATVs: Many motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) use engines derived from or directly adapted from car engine designs.
* Boats: Outboard and inboard marine engines frequently use adapted car engine technology, though often with modifications for marine environments.
* Go-karts and other small vehicles: These recreational vehicles often use small engines based on car engine technology, scaled down in size and power.
* Construction equipment: Some smaller construction equipment, like compactors or small generators, might use modified car engines. Larger equipment generally uses purpose-built engines, though.
* Agricultural machinery: Similar to construction equipment, smaller agricultural machines might use modified car engines, although this is less common than purpose-built engines.
* Industrial machinery: Some industrial applications might utilize car engines for powering pumps, compressors, or other machinery, particularly in situations needing a mobile power source.
* Military vehicles: While many military vehicles use purpose-built engines, some lighter or specialized vehicles might utilize adapted car engine technology.
It's important to note that while the *basic principle* is often the same (a piston engine burning fuel for power), car engines usually need modifications for use in these other applications. These modifications might include changes to the cooling system, lubrication system, exhaust system, or the engine's power output to suit the specific needs of the application.
