  2. Squish (piston engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squish_(piston_engine)

    This is the most common way to create a squish piston engine because it is the smallest and easiest part to manufacture. These pockets can be made by making a recess in the piston crown. This is called a deep bowl piston. [3] Others may use raised areas relative to the piston rings to create a different effect in the combustion chamber.

  3. Piston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston

    A slipper piston is a piston for a petrol engine that has been reduced in size and weight as much as possible. In the extreme case, they are reduced to the piston crown, support for the piston rings, and just enough of the piston skirt remaining to leave two lands so as to stop the piston rocking in the bore.

  4. Gudgeon pin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudgeon_pin

    Gudgeon pin connection at connecting rod. Gudgeon pin fits into gudgeons inside piston.. In internal combustion engines, the gudgeon pin (English, wrist pin or piston pin US English) connects the piston to the connecting rod, and provides a bearing for the connecting rod to pivot upon as the piston moves.

  5. Piston-cylinder apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston-cylinder_apparatus

    The piston-cylinder apparatus is a solid media device, used in Geosciences and Material Sciences, for generating simultaneously high pressure (up to 6 GPa) and temperature (up to 1700 °C). Modifications of the normal set-up can push these limits to even higher pressures and temperatures.

  6. Sticky rice mortar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_rice_mortar

    Sticky rice mortar was invented in ancient China utilizing organic materials in inorganic mortar. Hydraulic mortar was not available in ancient China, possibly due to a lack of volcanic ash . Around 500 CE, sticky rice soup was mixed with slaked lime to make an inorganic−organic composite mortar that had more strength and water resistance ...

  7. Fire piston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_piston

    [6] [9] These piston-bellows reached as far as Madagascar prior to European contact. [10] The bamboo piston-bellows technology was also adopted early by the Chinese, replacing the indigenous Chinese leather-bellows technology completely. [6] [11] Whether the European fire pistons were influenced by the Southeast Asian fire pistons was a matter ...

  8. 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.

  9. Sticky keys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_keys

    Sticky keys is an accessibility feature of some graphical user interfaces which assists users who have physical disabilities or helps users reduce repetitive strain injury. It serializes keystrokes; instead of being required to press multiple keys at a time, the user can press and release a modifier key , such as ⇧ Shift , Ctrl , Alt , or the ...
