Abstract
Since its invention well over 100 years ago the reciprocating explosive gas engine has handily served mankind as we have sought to replace raw muscle power with that of the machine. In this type of motor a linear motion is imparted<img height="237" hspace="4" width="185" align="right" vspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.tfcbooks.com/images/articles/tdt07-1.gif" /> to one or more pistons by the compression and explosion of a combustible mixture of vaporized fuel and air. The energy released by the explosion is transmitted to a crank shaft which converts the reciprocating movement into rotation. With the passage of time the primitive device of the 1860s has evolved into a complex marvel of machinery capable of propelling an automobile at speeds in excess of 300 mph and yet it still bears the same basic configuration and the same mode of operation as that of its earliest ancestor.
