In my head it's always seemed weird to me that engines work. I keep thinking there has to be some kind of a motor driving the innards of the engine.
Somehow electric motors make sense, but anything that needs a pump, or pressure seems like there should be an electric motor driving that.
How do it keep on generating enough power to turn itself AND turn other things?
