IntermittentCombustionEngine
An
Engine
, such as found in a modern
Automobile
, in which
Combustion
is not continuous, as in a
Rocket
, but rather a rapid series of small

FourStrokeEngine
InternalCombustionEngine
s based on the four-stroke (Otto cycle) have one power stroke for every four strokes (up-down-up-down) and employ spark plug ignition.
Combustion
occurs rapidly, and during combustion the volume varies little (constant volume). They are used in cars, larger boats, some motorcycles, and many light aircraft. They are generally quieter, more efficient, and larger than their
TwoStrokeEngine
counterparts. [from Wikipedia]

TwoStrokeEngine
Engines based on the two-stroke cycle use two strokes (one up, one down) for every power stroke. Since there are no dedicated intake or exhaust strokes, alternative methods must be used to scavenge the cylinders. The most common method in spark-ignition two-strokes is to use the downward motion of the piston to pressurize fresh charge in the
Crankcase
, which is then blown through the
Cylinder
through ports in the cylinder walls. [from Wikipedia]
