Diaphragmpiston

Diaphragmpiston is a type of internal combustion engine that uses a diaphragm to convert the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion. This design is an alternative to the traditional crankshaft mechanism. The diaphragm is a flexible, usually metallic, membrane that is attached to the piston and the engine's output shaft. As the piston moves up and down within the cylinder, it causes the diaphragm to flex, which in turn rotates the output shaft. This design can offer several advantages, including a simpler and more compact engine structure, as well as the potential for higher efficiency due to reduced friction and wear. However, it also has some drawbacks, such as potential issues with diaphragm durability and the complexity of sealing the diaphragm to the cylinder. Diaphragmpiston engines have been explored for various applications, including automotive, aerospace, and industrial uses, but they have not yet gained widespread commercial adoption.
