The engine goes 'vroom vroom'. The horn goes 'beep beep'.
Stopped at the third Q. Next?

I got to #7 and stopped because there was no correct answer. They were looking for me to say "small car" But I know a guy with a Saab 2 stroke car.

28 out of 35! “Steam powered.” You can hold your own talking about engines with the best of them. |

27/35. The rotary engine questions got me. Isn't a Wankel a rotary also? I missed a couple of questions before I caught on to their idea of a rotary. The two stroke diesel and two stroke in a car answers were just wrong.

4. Which of the following is not an electric motor?
The engine on a miter saw. The engine on a kitchen blender. The engine on a steam engine. The engine on a computer disk drive. Really? That was it for me. |
