1. Fuel: This is the energy source that provides the power to make the engine move. Different engines use different fuels, such as gasoline, diesel, or even electricity.
2. Air: Most engines need oxygen to burn the fuel, and this is provided by air. The air is mixed with the fuel and ignited, creating an explosion that pushes the pistons and turns the crankshaft.
3. Ignition: This is the process that starts the burning of the fuel and air mixture. In gasoline engines, this is typically done by spark plugs, while diesel engines use compression heat to ignite the fuel.
