  2. Choke (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_(firearms)

    A: Cylinder (no choke) B: Improved cylinder C: Glocken D: Skeet E: Full (normal) F: Spitzbogen G: Jug H: Paradox. The exit end of a choke is smaller by some dimension than the actual bore of the barrel. This difference in diameter is the amount of constriction.

  3. P. O. Ackley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._O._Ackley

    Parker Otto Ackley (May 25, 1903 – August 23, 1989) [1] was an American gunsmith, barrel maker, author, columnist, and wildcat cartridge developer. The Ackley Improved family of wildcat cartridges are designed to be easily made by rechambering existing firearms, and fireforming the ammunition to decrease body taper and increase shoulder angle, resulting in a higher case capacity.

  4. Volumetric efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_efficiency

    Volumetric efficiency (VE) in internal combustion engine engineering is defined as the ratio of the equivalent volume of the fresh air drawn into the cylinder during the intake stroke (if the gases were at the reference condition for density) to the volume of the cylinder itself.

  5. Variable Cylinder Management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Cylinder_Management

    The VCM hydraulic circuit control is defaulted open, meaning that the engine has to build up enough oil pressure on initial startup to disable the rear bank of cylinders. A single solenoid on the rear camshaft is activated to close oil pressure to unlock the cam followers, thereby closing the valves.

  6. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    The next step is the cylinder gap, the space between the cylinder and barrel. This must be wide enough to allow free rotation of the cylinder even when it becomes fouled with powder residue, but not so large that excess gas can be released. The next step is the forcing cone.

  7. Multi-valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve

    A cylinder head of a four valve Nissan VQ engine engine. A multi-valve or multivalve engine is one where each cylinder has more than two valves (an intake, and an exhaust).A multi-valve engine has better breathing, and with more smaller valves (having less mass in motion) may be able to operate at higher revolutions per minute (RPM) than a two-valve engine, delivering more power.

  9. Combustion chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_chamber

    The shape of the combustion chamber, intake ports and exhaust ports are key to achieving efficient combustion and maximising power output. Cylinder heads are often designed to achieve a certain "swirl" pattern (rotational component to the gas flow) and turbulence, which improves the mixing and increases the flow rate of gasses. The shape of the ...
