2. Hose reel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_reel

   A hose reel is a cylindrical spindle made of either metal, fiberglass, or plastic and is used for storing a hose. The most common styles of hose reels are spring driven (which is self retracting), hand crank, or motor driven. Hose reels are categorized by the diameter and length of the hose they hold, the pressure rating and the

3. Pneumatic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_cylinder

   Pneumatic cylinder, also known as air cylinder, is a mechanical device which uses the power of compressed gas to produce a force in a reciprocating linear motion. [ 1 ] : 85 Like in a hydraulic cylinder , something forces a piston to move in the desired direction.

4. Aircraft engine starting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_starting

   Cutaway view of an air-start motor of a General Electric J79 turbojet. With air-start systems, gas turbine engine compressor spools are rotated by the action of a large volume of compressed air acting directly on the compressor blades or driving the engine through a small, geared turbine motor. These motors can weigh up to 75% less than an ...

5. Air-start system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-start_system

   All vane type air starters should have a lubricator installed to insure long-life and maximum performance. [4] Lubricators give the moving parts a needed friction barrier, reduce metal corrosion and keep vanes sealed properly against the cylinder walls. Even the so-called lube-free air starters require lubrication to prolong trouble free life.

6. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

   The draught tube routes all blow-by gases back into the intake mixture and is usually located between the air filter and carburetor. Dry sump engines in some drag racing cars use scavenging pumps to extract oil and gases from the crankcase. [18] A separator removes the oil, then the gases are fed into the exhaust system via a venturi tube.

7. Four-stroke engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_engine

   Four-stroke cycle used in gasoline/petrol engines: intake (1), compression (2), power (3), and exhaust (4). The right blue side is the intake port and the left brown side is the exhaust port. The cylinder wall is a thin sleeve surrounding the piston head which creates a space for the combustion of fuel and the genesis of mechanical energy.
