Pneumatic cylinders are essential components used in many industrial applications to convert compressed air into linear motion. But how do they actually work? In this video, we will walk you through ...

Modern automotive brake systems depend on hydraulic pressure, created using a master cylinder and brake fluid, as well as either drum brakes, disc brakes, or a combination of the two.

The results confirm piston-ring-to-cylinder-wall friction as a meaningful contributor to engine operating temperature, and identifying friction as the source of the heat was quite easy.

Both pistons in the same cylinder bank mimic one another’s movements almost exactly. When the pistons reach the bottom of their strokes, a respective intake and exhaust port is uncovered.

Ferrari has filed a patent for an engine with pill-shaped pistons, a radical departure from traditional circular piston designs.While Honda famously experimented with oval pistons in the late ...
