The 14 pages that link to Spark-ignition engine, each with the reason it gives.

• Internal combustion engineBroader topic: It represents the ignition method used by conventional gasoline engines.

• Diesel engineCompared with: It contrasts directly with compression ignition, the diesel engine’s defining method.

• Four-stroke engineCompared with: It is the common four-stroke design used in gasoline engines.

• GasolineRelated: This is the main engine type designed to burn gasoline.

• DeflagrationBroader topic: Normal engine power comes from controlled deflagration across the cylinder.

• Otto cycleNarrower topic: The Otto cycle is the ideal thermodynamic model associated with this engine type.

• Combustion chamberRelated: Its chamber must support reliable flame propagation from the spark plug.

• Engine knockingNarrower topic: Knock is defined by abnormal combustion in this engine type.

• Wankel engineRelated: Most Wankel engines ignite their compressed mixture with spark plugs.

• Piston engineBroader topic: This is the operating principle of common gasoline piston engines.

• History of the internal combustion engineRelated: Spark ignition became characteristic of petrol engines descended from Otto’s design.

• Nicolaus OttoRelated: Otto’s engine used spark ignition to begin combustion.

• Petrol engineNarrower topic: Petrol engines are the most common type of spark-ignition engine.

• Pistonless rotary engineRelated: Most familiar pistonless designs ignite their charge by spark rather than compression alone.
