To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Steam engine configurations | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Steam engine configurations | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Below is an animation of the piston motion equations with the same values of rod length and crank radius as in the graphs above. Piston motion animation with the various half strokes from the graph above (using the same color code)
The induction stroke is the first phase in a four-stroke (e.g. Otto cycle or Diesel cycle) engine.It involves the downward movement of the piston, creating a partial vacuum that draws an air-fuel mixture (or air alone, in the case of a direct injection engine) into the combustion chamber.

Animation of the Atkinson differential engine 1932 Junkers Jumo 205 diesel aircraft engine. One of the first opposed-piston engines was the 1882 Atkinson differential engine, [7] which has a power stroke on every rotation of the crankshaft (compared with every second rotation for the contemporary Otto cycle engine), but it was not a commercial success.

Desaxe engines are usually automotive, but the term can also apply to steam engines. An animation of a Scuderi Split Cycle Engine. If the offset is in the direction of rotation, it has the effect of increasing the leverage applied to the crankshaft during the "power" stroke, and reducing thrust wasted against the cylinder wall.
