A four-stroke cycle in a cutaway view demonstrates a full 720-degree four-stroke cycle: intake, compression, power (ignition), exhaust. The crankshaft mechanism converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotation of the crankshaft.
Characteristics
- 1 cylinder, 4 strokes per 2 valve rotations
- 2 valves: intake and exhaust
- The piston's movement is determined by a crank radius of 1 m
- Fuel mixture flash at the start of operation
Tact: Inhale
