Can you elaborate? I'm trying to figure it out. I'm also confused about where the crankshaft is supposed to be in this picture.

- dogma1138 10y agoThe crankshaft is in the middle part it doesn't move in relation to the head. The image explains is pretty well, the piston is connected to the "multi-link" which changes the angle make the piston head move further into the cylinder.
- TheSpiceIsLife 10y agoErm, I'm not sure I get it. I think I'd need to see an animation. If the crankshaft is fixed I don't see how that linkage can change the stroke length because all it shows in that diagram is the piston further along the stroke, which is what all piston engines do when the crankshaft rotates. So yeah, I probably need to see an animation to grok it.
