"suck, squeeze, bang, blow"
I’m curious as to who’ll answer correctly.
Just a test.

Just a test.
What does this mean?
"suck, squeeze, bang, blow"
I’m curious as to who’ll answer correctly.

What is the actions of a person firing a weapon at a target?
Every normal man must be tempted at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
I often wonder if the voices in my head ever get frustrated because I'm just too damn lazy to climb that clock tower.

1. INTAKE (SUCK) The intake stroke begins with the piston near the top of its travel. As the piston begins its descent, the exhaust valve closes fully, the intake valve opens and the volume of the combustion chamber begins to increase, creating a vacuum (thus the term SUCK for this cycle). As the piston descends, an air/fuel mixture is drawn from the fuel injectors into the cylinder through the intake manifold. The intake stroke ends with the intake valve closed just after the piston has begun its upstroke.
2. COMPRESSION (SQUEEZE) As the piston ascends, the air/fuel mixture is forced into the small chamber machined into the cylinder head. This compresses the mixture (SQUEEZE) until it occupies 1/8th to 1/11th of the volume that it did at the time the piston began its ascent. This compression raises the temperature of the mixture and increases its pressure, increasing the force generated during the ignition cycle.
3. IGNITION (BANG) The air/fuel mixture is ignited (BANG) by the spark plug just before the piston reaches the top of its stroke so that a large portion of the fuel will have burned by the time the piston begins ascending again. The heat produced by combustion increases the pressure in the cylinder, pushing the piston down with great force. This is the cycle that actually creates power in an engine.
4. EXHAUST (BLOW) As the piston approaches the bottom of its stroke, the exhaust valve begins opening and the pressure in the cylinder begins to force the gasses out around the valve. The ascent of the piston then forces nearly all the rest of the unburned gasses from the cylinder (BLOW). The cycle begins again as the exhaust valve closes, the intake valve opens and the piston begins descending and bringing a fresh charge of air and fuel into the combustion chamber.

Not a jet engine, but the cycles of a four stroke engine.Debbie wrote:

What, no Mad Doc in this thread? I'm disappointed...
