Will hitting the front of a car damage the engine?

[Toby]

Severe frontal impact can damage the car's engine. Here are relevant introductions about engines: 1. Introduction: An engine is a machine that can convert non-mechanical energy into mechanical energy. 2. Classification: Includes internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. 3. External combustion engine: This means the fuel burns outside the engine. 4. Internal combustion engine: Reciprocating piston engines, with the key difference from external combustion engines being that fuel burns inside them. There are many types of internal combustion engines, with common gasoline and diesel engines being typical examples.
