Combustion-engine
Some believe that nothing beats the sound of a rumbling V8. The internal combustion engine (ICE) burns fuel (mostly commonly fossil-based) to turn pistons, turbine blades, or a nozzle - converting chemical energy into useful mechanical energy. Infineum expects the market for IC engines will continue to grow for at least another 30 years (from 2011). Combustion engines can be made more efficient through better lubricants, additives, fuel-blends and dual-fuel (i.e. biofuel or liquid H2) and lightweight materials.
