Pistonmotor

The piston motor, also known as a reciprocating engine or piston engine, is a type of internal combustion engine that uses pistons to convert the pressure of expanding gases into rotational motion. This is achieved through a series of precisely timed events within a cylinder. Fuel is introduced into the cylinder, mixed with air, and then ignited. The resulting explosion creates a rapid expansion of gases that pushes a piston downward. This linear motion of the piston is converted into rotational motion by a connecting rod attached to a crankshaft. The crankshaft's rotation is then used to power a vehicle or other machinery. The piston motor is a fundamental component in many forms of transportation, including automobiles, motorcycles, and aircraft, as well as in various industrial applications. Different configurations exist, such as inline engines, V-engines, and opposed-piston engines, each offering unique advantages in terms of packaging, balance, and performance. The efficiency and power output of a piston motor depend on factors like its displacement, compression ratio, and the efficiency of the combustion process.
