I have to do a presentation for my drivers ed class tomorrow on how a car engine works and i summarized it in one slide by saying
"air rushes through the air filter and into the throttle valve where a valve opens to let in the air.
you might want to add a few details about the "used to turn the wheel" part.

Conventional engines will shrug off electric challenge for a while yet

Neil Winton: European Perspective Conventional engines will shrug off electric challenge for a while yet
Arguments have been raging for years about the utility of electric cars, and at last there is some concrete evidence from the marketplace about their popularity as vehicles move from the drawing board to dealer lots.
Not surprisingly, at this point initial sales are tiny. According to Britain's JATO, which publishes data on the global automotive industry, European sales of electric cars totaled just 5,222 in the first half of 2011, up from just over 500 in the same period of 2010. At least electric car enthusiasts can say sales increased 10 times.
But as new regulations loom forcing European car manufacturers to offer drastically improved fuel consumption, the question is: will car makers be forced to produce massive and expensive fleets of electric vehicles, or will radically improved internal combustion engine (ICE) technology provide a cheaper, viable way of meeting these targets?
