a: Internal Combustion Engine ~
b: compressor

What:

"It is not an "analogy", it is a reality. An IC (Internal Combustion) engine is like a compressor sucking one side and pushing the other side. It sucks the mixture on the intake and pushes the exhaust out. The fact that the intake stuff can explode and create pressure inside the engine gives us our power."

a: Internal Combustion Engine ~
b: a big air pump

What:

"An internal combustion engine is like a big air pump, and the more air you can get it to pump, the more torque and horsepower it will make. Things like bigger camshafts, aftermarket intakes and exhausts can help increase airflow to a certain point, but ultimately, to get the most out of your high-tech air pump, you've got to make the cylinder head more efficient.
