	The '''internal combustion engine''' is a heat engine in which the ~~[[combustion\|~~burning of a fuel]] occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. This exothermic reaction of a [[fuel]] with an oxidizer creates gases of high temperature and pressure, which are permitted to expand. The defining feature of an internal combustion engine is that useful work is performed by the expanding hot gases acting directly to cause movement, for example by acting on pistons, rotors, or even by pressing on and moving the entire [[engine]] itself.

	This contrasts with [[external combustion engine]]s such as [[steam engine]]s which use the combustion process to heat a separate working fluid, typically water or steam, which then in turn does work, for example by pressing on a steam actuated piston.

	The term ''Internal Combustion Engine'' ([[ICE]]) is almost always used to refer specifically to [[reciprocating engine]]s, [[Wankel engine]]s and similar designs in which combustion is intermittent. However, continuous combustion engines, such as [[Jet engine]]s, most [[rocket]]s and many [[gas turbine]]s are also very definitely internal combustion engines.
