Petrol engine was introduced by the engineers Gottlieb Daimler and Karl
Benz (both from Germany) in 1885.
Petrol Engine
From the name itself we get the idea about the functioning of the engine.
The engine ignites fuel at every upward stroke, so there are two strokes
for every ignition of fuel. They are called upward and downward stroke.
As the piston moves in upward direction from bottom to top in the first
stroke the air and fuel mixture gets compressed and ignited by spark plug
as upward stroke comes to end. This results in an explosion of mixture
which forces the piston to move downwards thereby producing power.
Application
These engines are widely used in vehicles, portable power plants it
supply the power to run pumps and other machinery on farms. Many
small boats, aero planes, trucks and buses also use it
