Internal combustion engine. History of internal combustion engine. Advantages of Internal combustion engine Higher efficiency. Compact and lighter. Disadvantages of Internal combustion engine Air pollution.

Higher efficiency. The internal combustion engine is able to create a much greater amount of power than any steam engine, due it’s high compression ratio. Large number of pistons allows for a high-compression ratio.

Fuel consumption. Internal combustion engines use less fuel than others steam engines.
