Piston engines

Piston engines, also known as internal combustion engines, are a type of engine that converts fuel into mechanical energy through the combustion process. They operate on the principle of utilizing the linear motion of pistons, which are contained within cylindrical chambers called cylinders. Here’s a basic overview of how piston engines work: 1. **Components**: Key components of a piston engine include: - **Cylinders**: Where the pistons move up and down.
