Think about it this way: at the start of the intake stroke there is no air in the cylinder, so at the end of intake the only air in the cylinder has been pulled in by the piston, and its volume is bore area times stroke. The engine breathes in multiples of displacement volume. Google "does pis...

Actually, taller pistons don't decrease displacement. Displacement is the volume of air that the piston pumps through the cylinder: bore area times crank throw. Clearance volume above piston travel affects compression ratio, but not displacement. So if space in the cylinder is reduced due to a tall...

Good one Kevin, thanks for showing us.

I left . We had to work with full rubber type face masks for our full 8 hour shift in extreme hot condi...

Welcome Indy, nice looking airplane and hangar!

What a great way to waste an hour, thanks George!

T-Mobile and Verizon 5G is working and has been for some time. They have not experienced a controversy because they are at the other end if the frequency spectrum and do not interfere with radar altimeters. I have friends who have ATT service and while their phones have the 5G symbol on the screen t...
