  2. Allison V-3420 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_V-3420

    In 1937, at the behest of the United States Army Air Corps, the Allison Engine Company agreed to design and build a large-displacement high-power aircraft engine. The resulting V-3420 was essentially a pair of 12-cylinder Allison V-1710 engines mated to a common crankcase with a 30° angle between the inner cylinder banks.

  3. Gas-operated reloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-operated_reloading

    short-stroke gas piston Short stroke gas piston and bolt carrier group, from a gas piston AR-15 With a short-stroke or tappet system, the piston moves separately from the bolt group. It may directly push [ 12 ] the bolt group parts, as in the M1 carbine , or operate through a connecting rod or assembly, as in the Armalite AR-18 or the SKS .

    The TJ and CA series are a family of naturally-aspirated V10 and V8 Formula One racing engines, in both 2.4-litre and 3-litre engine configurations, designed and developed by Cosworth; and produced between 2005 and 2013. [2] The customer engines were used by Minardi, Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Williams, Lotus, HRT, Virgin, and Marussia.

    An early opposed-piston car engine was produced by the French company Gobron-Brillié around 1900. On 31 March 1904, [12] [13] a Gobron-Brillié car powered by the opposed-piston engine was the first car ever to exceed 150 km/h with a "World's Record Speed" of 152.54 km/h (95 mph). [14]

  6. Hypereutectic piston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypereutectic_piston

    These pistons can survive mild detonation with less damage than stock pistons. 4032 and hypereutectic alloys have a low coefficient of thermal expansion. This allows tighter piston to cylinder bore fit at assembly temperature. The "2618" performance piston alloy has less than 2% silicon and could be described as hypo (under) eutectic.

  7. Mean piston speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_piston_speed

    The comparison of mean piston speed (black line) with real piston speed (color lines). Diagram shows one stroke from BDC to TDC. Revolution = 1.000 min-1, stroke = 88 mm. The connecting rod ratio l/r varies: 3 - red, 4 - green, 5,5 - blue. The mean piston speed is the average speed of the piston in a reciprocating engine.
