An engine can be put into a category according to two criteria: the form of energy it accepts in order to create motion, and the type of motion it outputs. The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an air in a combustion chamber. Such engines are Gas Engine, Diesel Engine and Gasoline Engine. Air-breathing engines are engines that use the oxygen in atmospheric air to burn the fuel, rather than carrying an oxidiser. Such engines are Jet Engine, Steam Engine and Turbine Engine.
