The Basics
It`s the form energy takes while in motion.
What is Kinetic Energy?
It`s a method used to create electricity, whereby the Sun`s rays are collected and turned in to Electrical Energy.
What is Solar Generation/Solar Energy?
A movable part fitted into a cylinder which can receive and transmit power
What is the Piston?
True or False: A 4 stroke engine completes 4 separate strokes while turning the crankshaft.
What is True?
What is Kutztown's Mascot?
Cougar
Its the form energy takes when it is "stored up" and ready to be used.
What is Potential Energy?
It`s a method of producing electrical energy, whereby moving water is used to spin turbines, which in turn spin electrical generators.
What is Hydroelectric Generation/Hydroelectric Energy?
Foundation of the engine and contains pistons, crank shaft, cylinders, timing sprockets and sometimes the cam shaft.
What is the Engine Block?
Name 2 of the four strokes in a 4 stroke engine.
What is intake, compression, power, and exhaust?
Which is the longest measurement?
A) 2" 3/16
B) 2" 1/8
C) 2" 1/4
D) 2" 1/16
What is C) 2" 1/4?
When you move a FORCE over a DISTANCE, you have done this. Also expressed by the equation: ___ = F x D
What is Work?
In PA, we burn this resource to generate electricity. It`s a resource we have an abundance of.
What is Coal?
It provides the means of ignition when the gasoline engine's piston is at the end of its compression stroke.
What is the Spark Plug?
Which are more fuel efficient: Gas or Diesel Engines
What are Diesel Engines?

A) E.A.G.L.E.S.
B) Steelers
C) Rams
D) NFL is boring, Penn State to the moooon
What is B) Steelers
Its the only one in this group that is NOT a form of energy. Radiant, Thermal, Chemical, Solar
What is Solar?
It`s the byproduct of heating water to it`s boiling point, used to spin turbines in coal-fired electricity generating plants.
What is Steam?
This part attaches the piston to the crank shaft.
What is the Connecting Rod?
Which has a cheaper engine design: 2 stroke engines, or 4 stroke engines
What is a 2 stroke engine
Its the mechanical device used, in both combustion powerplants and hydroelectric plants, to generate the spinning motion necessary to turn generators.
What is a Turbine?
It`s the ability to do work.
What is Power?
In Nuclear Power Generation, its the kind of reactor that "splits" an atom.
What is a Fission Reactor?
This is the part that covers and encloses the cylinders
What is the Cylinder Head?
What is the difference between an internal combustion engine and an external combustion engine (hint: think of internal & external definitions)
Internal Combustion Engine: Fuel combustion in a chamber inside the engine
External Combustion Engine: Fuel combustion in a chamber outside of the engine
