What is the difference between a starter and an engine?

[McAniyah]

The main differences between a starter and an engine are: 1. Different energy sources. The starter relies on electricity, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. The engine relies on fuel, converting internal energy into mechanical energy. 2. Different structures. The starter mainly consists of an electric motor composed of a magnetic field, armature, and commutator. The engine mainly consists of the engine block assembly, including components such as the cylinder block, cylinder liner, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket. Additional information: The relationship between the two is mainly reflected in automobiles. When starting a car, the key is turned to ignite, activating the starter, which then drives the engine to work. Only then can the engine continue to operate continuously through its own combustion, i.e., power inertia.
