[ Sokka is sitting cross-legged on his bed, leaning against the wall. There seem to be a few books scattered around next to him as he leans forward to address the camera. The young man scratches at his chin, then speaks. ]

Heeeey, everyone. I've been doing some reading and stuff and I was wondering if there's anyone who could give me a hand, now.

[ He holds up one of the books, the worn and battered volume open to show a diagram of a car's engine. ]

Is there anyone who can show me how to work with an internal combustion engine?

Granted I haven't been able to get my hands on any of today's engines yet- though not from a lack of trying- but from my time I do believe the most common engine you'd encounter worked using something called the Otto cycle, which is the four stroke approach. On that note, did you know that it was invented in 1867 by a gentleman named Nikolaus Otto?
