If your going to come in with equations and bullshit, please stay out. Please mods ensure this thread doesn't turn into word salad, we want to know simply how energy turns into work for machinery. For example wind is energy, when there is a hurricane, it blows and moves objects like cars. The maths for this is something to do with wind pressure vs weight of vehicle and possibly environmental conditions(up a hill, down a hill, etc).
What I want to know is, I can see how energy can move physical objects just through strong winds, it can blow roofs off, move cars, and even structures this is motion and travel and similar to how a car travels on liquid oil. Energy is about getting things to move, it's not a complex idea, it's just to get something to move. Now what I don't understand is how does oil, petrol, gas, whatever you want to call it, a liquid cause movement in an engine?
I can understand how pressure can make objects move but not liquid state of energy, I don't understand how the engine needs to suck onto some liquid like gas in order to move, the engine is made of metal and the inside of the engine it consists of valves and pistons, how does gas or petrol contribute to cause movement in the engine and drive? If we can understand how it works with engine, it will be fairly similar with any other type of machinery also. I simply cannot work out why metal structures like an engine and yes it is METAL look at it closely needs liquid, metal isn't a living organism, it's a non living mechanical structure. How does liquid play a role with such mechanical state?
