The engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), electric motors, and so on. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term "engine" can refer to both power generating devices and the entire machine that includes such a power device. The engine originated in the UK, so the concept also comes from English, with its original meaning referring to a "mechanical device that generates power."
