For example a V6 engine contains six cylinders arranged to create a V configuration.įOUR STROKES ANIMATED: the animation begins with the piston at the top of the cylinder. Usually these contain 4, 6 or 8 cylinders. Car engines have multiple cylinders contained together in an engine block. Since a realistic rendering might obscure the underlying process I have reduced the components to their simplest form. In reality, the components often have highly complex and irregular shapes. This animation shows a highly simplified engine to illustrate this process. The ubiquitous four stroke engine is so called because the piston repeats a sequence of four strokes for every explosion. This movement of the piston is transmitted (via the connecting rod) to a rotating device ( crankshaft shown as a simple red disc) which is ultimately connected to the wheels (via gears, usually). The reciprocating (back and forth) engine explodes the mixture (of fuel + air) in a cylinder that forces the contained piston to move. INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES are mechanical devices that use controlled explosions (combustions) of petrol (gasoline) and air mixtures to rotate wheels. It shows a highly simplified 4-stroke engine cycling through the intake, compression, power and exhaust strokes. ANIMATION OF FOUR STROKE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE (CAR ENGINE / PETROL ENGINE): This animation explains how a petrol engine works.
