Dugattyúval

Dugattyúval is the Hungarian word for "with a piston." It refers to a component or mechanism that operates using a piston. In the context of engineering and mechanics, a piston is a sliding component that moves back and forth within a cylinder. This reciprocating motion is fundamental to the operation of many machines.

The primary function of a piston is to transmit force or motion. In internal combustion engines, pistons are driven by the expansion of gases produced by burning fuel. This linear motion is then converted into rotational motion by a crankshaft, powering vehicles and other machinery. In hydraulic and pneumatic systems, pistons are used to displace fluids or air. A piston moving within a cylinder can push liquid or gas, generating pressure or actuating other components. Conversely, fluid or gas pressure acting on a piston can cause it to move.

The term "dugattyúval" can appear in descriptions of various devices. For example, a "dugattyús szivattyú" translates to "piston pump," which uses a piston to move liquids. Similarly, a "dugattyús kompresszor" is a "piston compressor," employing a piston to compress gases. The design and material of pistons vary greatly depending on their application, considering factors like temperature, pressure, and the nature of the working fluid.
