Engine capacity explained easily?
Can someone briefly summarize in 3 sentences what the displacement is, what it is responsible for and what different types there are

The displacement space is the space between the top ("OT") and the bottom ("UT") point of all pistons. It does not represent the space in which the combustion takes place, as claimed by "Florian847", because this space is called "burning space" in a conclusive manner, and is composed of the displacement space, as well as the compression space (the space which remains above OT).
Okay, I'll try.
The displacement space is the space in which the combustion of the fuel-air mixture takes place. It is usually indicated in liters or cm3 and ensures that the cylinders move and thus also the car moves.
More engine capacity does not necessarily mean more power, since turbocharged engines with little engine capacity bring more power than a suction engine with the same engine capacity.
Thank you
