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 ...

When the piston of one cylinder is half-way down on its working stroke, that of the opposite cylinder is just ready to begin on the working stroke, the result being that there is a practically ...

For an engine which uses mass-produced engines for its construction, this one still relies heavily on parts machined from first principles. The cylinder blocks, valves, pistons, and crank rods are ...

The exhaust stroke is the fourth and last one in the cycle: the piston moves up to TDC, pushing burnt gases out of the cylinder. This is commonly how modern combustion engines work. Some engines ...
