    A crossflow T-head sidevalve engine The usual L-head arrangement Pop-up pistons may be used to increase compression ratio Flathead with Ricardo's turbulent head. A flathead engine, also known as a sidevalve engine [1] [2] or valve-in-block engine, is an internal combustion engine with its poppet valves contained within the engine block, instead of in the cylinder head, as in an overhead valve ...

  3. Reaction engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_engine

    A reaction engine is an engine or motor that produces thrust by expelling reaction mass (reaction propulsion), [1] in accordance with Newton's third law of motion. This law of motion is commonly paraphrased as: "For every action force there is an equal, but opposite, reaction force."

    The most common W-type engine is the 4-bank type, with the Volkswagen Group experimenting with the Passat W8 and it’s 4.0 liter, 4-bank W8 engine and later implementing the concept with their Bentley division, creating a 6.0 liter W12 in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants. Due to the pre-existing VR-type engine only needing ...

    The next stroke may occur immediately, or it may be delayed by a timing device such as a cataract, if it was not necessary for the engine to work at its maximum rate, reducing the rate of operation saved fuel. The engine is single-acting, and the steam piston is pulled up by the weight of the pump piston and rodding. Steam may be supplied at a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_engine

    Ray-traced image of a piston engine. There may be one or more pistons. Each piston is inside a cylinder, into which a gas is introduced, either already under pressure (e.g. steam engine), or heated inside the cylinder either by ignition of a fuel air mixture (internal combustion engine) or by contact with a hot heat exchanger in the cylinder (Stirling engine).

  8. Traction engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_engine

    A portable engine is a type of self-contained steam engine and boiler combination that may be moved from site to site. Although bearing a strong family resemblance, in both appearance and (stationary) operation, the portable engine is not classed as a traction engine as it is not self-propelled.

  9. V engine - Wikipedia

    This effect increases with the number of cylinders in the engine; the length difference between V-twin and straight-twin engines might be insignificant, however V8 engines have a significantly smaller length than straight engines. [6] Compared with the less common flat engine, a V engine is narrower, taller and has a higher center of mass.
