The phases/strokes of a four-stroke engine. 1: intake 2: compression 3: power 4: exhaust Animation of a two-stroke engine. Commonly used engine phases or strokes (i.e. those used in a four-stroke engine) are described below. Other types of engines can have very different phases.
An animation showing the cycle of the engine. The Scuderi engine, in 2005–2013 was a claimed new type of engine with claimed benefits. No engine to date has been produced commercially. In 2009, the company claimed to have raised $35M to develop the engine, and in 2010 said it was seeking to raise another $40m. [1]
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.
Four-stroke cycle used in gasoline/petrol engines: intake (1), compression (2), power (3), and exhaust (4). The right blue side is the intake port and the left brown side is the exhaust port. The cylinder wall is a thin sleeve surrounding the piston head which creates a space for the combustion of fuel and the genesis of mechanical energy.
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.
The M4+2 engine, also known as the double-piston internal combustion engine, is a type of internal combustion engine invented by Polish patent holder Piotr Mężyk. [1] The M4+2 engine took its name from a combination of two-stroke engines and four-stroke engines. The two-stroke combustion engine is characterized by a simple construction and ...
English: Animated scheme of a four stroke internal combustion engine, Otto principle: #Suction stroke - Air and vaporised fuel are drawn in. #Compression stroke - Fuel vapor and air are compressed and ignited. #Power stroke - Fuel combusts and piston is pushed downwards. #Exhaust stroke - Exhaust is driven out. Reason
Galloway uniflow steam engine, now in Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum. Steam entry is usually controlled by poppet valves (which act similarly to those used in internal combustion engines) that are operated by a camshaft. The inlet valves open to admit steam when minimum expansion volume has been reached at the start of the stroke.
