Are There 18-Cylinder Engines?

[VonMarley]

There are 18-cylinder engines, and the largest engine is said to have 24 cylinders, mostly used for military purposes. Overview: An automobile engine is a device that provides power for a vehicle, determining its performance, fuel economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, automobile engines can be classified into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric motors for electric vehicles, and hybrid systems, among others. Additional Information: Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, capable of converting the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy for piston motion and delivering power output. Gasoline engines have high rotational speeds, are lightweight, produce less noise, are easy to start, and have lower manufacturing costs. Diesel engines have higher compression ratios, greater thermal efficiency, and better fuel economy and emission performance compared to gasoline engines.
