Project: Engines

My name: SuperFreak
My number: U171161
Project page number: A629417
Title: Engines

Well, it's going to be about, um... engines. Various types of engines, what makes them fundamentally different from one another, and how they work.

Specifically:
How internal-combustion engines work
Two- and four-stroke engines
Diesel engines
Rotary engines
Airplane combustion engines
Steam engines
"Clean" engines
I'd also like to add the Edited entries on jet engines and electronic fuel injection, air/fuel mixtures, and catalytic converters (A593174 and A214589, respectively)... how do I go about doing that?

Entry titles will be the same as the "Specifically:" section above, except splitting two- and four-stroke engines into seperate articles.

Start Date: Sept. 17, 2001 (God willing)
End Date: Oct. 29, 2001
