The document discusses different types of engines including heat engines and electric engines. It describes heat engines as being combustion engines like internal and external combustion engines that burn fuel, or non-combustion engines powered by other energy sources. Two main types of combustion engines discussed are two-stroke and four-stroke engines. Two-stroke engines complete a power cycle in one crankshaft revolution using two strokes, while four-stroke engines use four strokes over two revolutions to intake, compress, ignite, and exhaust. Electric engines are also summarized that convert electrical energy to motion using magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors.
