2. Diesel Engine – an engine in which air is squeezed to very high pressure and very high temperature inside the cylinder, diesel fuel is injected and spontaneous ignition occurs.

3. Electric Motor – a machine that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy

4. Engine – a machine composed of many mechanisms that converts a form of energy into useful work.

5. External Combustion Engine- an engine that burns fuel outside itself.

6. Fuel Cell- a type of vehicle that mixes hydrogen from an on-board tank with oxygen from the air to power electric motors for turning the wheels.

7. Gasoline Engine- engine in which a mixture of air and gas is ignited by an electric spark, pushing down pistons to drive a crankshaft in a rotary motion.

8. HPV- (Human Powered Vehicle) any vehicle that is powered solely by one or more humans.

9. Internal Combustion Engine- an engine that burns fuel inside itself.

10. Jet Engine- an engine that sucks in air at the front, squeezes it, mixes it with fuel, and ignites it; this creates a strong blast of hot gases that rush out of the back of the engine at great speed.

11. On-site Transportation- types of vehicles that transport people and materials from one spot to another in a defined location.

12. Thrust- pushing power, based on the principle that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

13. Transportation- the process of moving people or material from a point of origin to a point of destination.

14. Transportation System- an organized set of coordinated modes of travel within a set area that are usually run by the local government, and internationally coordinated collaboration of businesses utilizing jets, planes, helicopters, boats, barges, semi trailers, trucks, and trains to deliver passengers, foods, and other goods.

15. Turbine- an energy converter that includes a large wheel with blades turned by water, a jet of steam, or hot gases.

16. Turbofan- a type of jet engine in which the gas stream drives a large fan located at the front of the engine. Thrust is as great as a simple jet but the engine is quieter.

17. Turboshaft- an engine that uses a stream of gases to drive turbine blades connected to a shaft which, in turn, is connected to rotors or propellers.
