In a 4-stroke V8 you have 8 bangs for ever 4 revolutions. If you double the RPM you double the number of bangs and thus the generated kinetic energy. There are of course losses involved in increasing RPM so it is a case of diminishing returns.

In a 4-stroke each piston fires every other revolution of the crank..... thus 8 "bangs" ever two revolutions, not 4 revolutions.

The kinetic energy is produced by the violent expansion of gases in a confined area.

ooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO   WRONGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no ya weren't.

i'll give ya another clue.

violent explosions in  confined spaces in an internal combustion engine will destroy said engine in short order.

The piston and crank does not produce any power. They only convert the kinetic energy produced by the expanding gases into rotational force, know as torque.

I said "violent expansions", not explosions. Reading comprehension again CAP...


My car is moved by the violent expansion (read it right this time) of gases in a confined space. That's where the energy is produced. Nowhere else.

Exactly how does the piston and crank produce power without the expanding fuel/air mix? They don't.

got me there...i mis-read that somehow.

the expansion is not violent. it is controlled. if it was violent, then it would be an explosion...and would destroy the engine.
