What is another word for piston engine?
Pronunciation: [pˈɪstən ˈɛnd͡ʒɪn] (IPA) 
A piston engine is a type of internal combustion engine where the movement of the pistons up and down is used to generate power. While technically accurate, the term 'piston engine' can be quite limiting. There are several alternative terms that can be used to describe this type of engine, including reciprocating engine, internal combustion engine, or simply, combustion engine. Additionally, a more specific term could be used depending on the design and use of the engine, such as four-stroke engine, two-stroke engine, diesel engine, or gas engine. Regardless of the terminology used, the basic principles of a piston engine remain the same, with the movement of the pistons creating motion and energy.
