Electricity
Steam
Diesel
Combustion
Answer
The fuel type Claude Niépce's engine would have used is combustion. Combustion engines use fuel to create heat, which is then used to power the engine. The fuel is typically a liquid, such as gasoline or diesel, and it is burned in the engine's cylinders. The combustion process creates hot gases, which expand and push the pistons in the cylinders. This movement of the pistons is what drives the engine.
