In modern usage, the term is used to describe devices capable of performing mechanical work, as in the original steam engine. In most cases the work is produced by exerting a torque or linear force, which is used to operate other machinery which can generate electricity, pump water, or compress gas. In the context of propulsion systems, an air-breathing engine is one that uses atmospheric air to oxidise the fuel carried rather than supplying an independent oxidizer, as in a rocket. | 1 National Council of Examiners cm FOR Engineering and Surveying Fundamentals of Engineering Supplied-Reference Handbook Fourth Edition National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying .
