Edit – How does having multiple pistons affect the output of the engine?
In: Engineering
Fuel ignites, causing small explosions which pushes the piston. The piston is attached to a wheel thing, so it moves from linear motion to rotational.
There’s some details (other comment or mentioned some), dealing with pressures, vaporization, ignition mechanism, compression, air mixing, cycling, etc, but that’s more detail than necessary to understand the basics.
