  2. Quick time event - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_time_event

    A hypothetical example of a quick time event in a video game. Pressing the X button can stop Wikipe-tan from missing the football.. In video games, a quick time event (QTE) is a method of context-sensitive gameplay in which the player performs actions on the control device shortly after the appearance of an on-screen instruction/prompt.

  3. Scripted sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripted_sequence

    A timer, a checkpoint or the progress of the game could activate a scripted sequence. For players that speedrun video games, skipping these scripted sequences that would otherwise slow down their completion time requires skill, and being able to manipulate the game's hit boxes so that the game does not trigger a sequence is necessary for fast ...

  4. Valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_timing

    In an external combustion engine, such as a steam engine, the control of the valve timing is by the valve gear. In a typical piston valve arrangement, the timing of the intake and exhaust events for each cylinder are inextricably related as they are governed by the movement of a single piston uncovering two ports. However, the duration of the ...

  5. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Engine balance refers to how the inertial forces produced by moving parts in an internal combustion engine or steam engine are neutralised with counterweights and balance shafts, to prevent unpleasant and potentially damaging vibration. The strongest inertial forces occur at crankshaft speed (first-order forces) and balance is mandatory, while ...

  7. Oscillating cylinder steam engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillating_cylinder_steam...

    An oscillating cylinder engine cannot be reversed by means of the valve linkage (as in a normal fixed cylinder) because there is none. Reversing of the engine can be achieved by reversing the steam connections between inlet and exhaust or, in the case of small engines, by shifting the trunnion pivot point so that the port in the cylinder lines up with a different pair of ports in the port face.

  9. Expansion valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_valve_(steam_engine)

    Cross compound engine, with an expansion valve (top) on the high-pressure cylinder. An expansion valve is a device in steam engine valve gear that improves engine efficiency. It operates by closing off the supply of steam early, before the piston has travelled through its full stroke. This cut-off allows the steam to then expand within the ...
