Plus, there's a hunk of piston at the bottom of the engine when ... sense because the bulk of the harm wouldn't be to a single cylinder. Let us know in the comments if you have any theories ...

The Piston Simulation function models the circular motion of a piston within a cylinder. It involves a chain of nonlinear functions. The response C is cycle time (the time it takes to complete one ...

A fire piston works on the same principle as a diesel engine - compression ignition. I'm a big fan of this kind of thermodynamics as it matches well to the theory and is very repeatable.

The brake master cylinder is the first component in a vehicle’s braking system, activated by depressing the brake pedal. The pedal pushes a piston through this cylinder, forcing brake fluid ...

In the video after the break, [Brick Technology] uses LEGO to gain some practical insight into the world of piston engine design, from single-cylinder all the way up to radial twelve-cylinder engines.
