For example, a stock LS 3.622-inch crankshaft running at 6,500 rpm has a maximum piston speed is 65.4 feet per second (fps). Go to a 4.000-inch stroke crank at the same rpm and the piston speed is ...

Pistons turn a crankshaft that eventually spins your car's wheels. Yawn. Electrically driven cars are the future. But until we have cheap, 1000-mile batteries, ...

The piston is called "free" because there is no crankshaft. On its power stroke, the piston dumps its kinetic energy into the fixed windings which surround it, generating a shot of three-phase AC ...

The crankshaft rotates, and that's what powers the parts that move the car's wheels. With each rotation of the crankshaft, the attached pistons go up and down once.

In this episode, I showcase the work done at Rectidama, an excellent engine machine shop nearby. The process begins with the ...

Chevy manages the 5.5-liter LT6 V-8's shake primarily by minimizing piston speeds, which the team accomplished by specifying a big 104.3-mm bore and a short 80.0-mm stroke.

Corvette chief engineer Josh Holder explains why the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has a racing-style flat-plane crank V8 and how ... It's all about how the pistons are attached to the crankshaft.

Thrown Out of Shape. By design, a crankshaft converts reciprocating motion into rotary motion. However, consider that the up-and-down movement of the pistons is trying to shove the crankshaft out ...

A normal Wankel has a triangle rotor spinning in a peanut-shaped housing. Liquid Piston flips that; now the peanut rotor spins inside a triangle housing. That small change makes a big difference. The ...

All 4 Piston Racing Stroker Kits include connecting rods and pistons at a minimum. The K20 and S2000 F20/F22C Stroker Kits are designed to use a K24 crankshaft with a 99mm (3.897-inch) stroke.

Unlike Honda’s oval pistons, which were positioned longitudinally—with their long side parallel to the crankshaft and used two connecting rods per piston—Ferrari has flipped this orientation ...
