the Four Stroke Combustion Process

The four stroke combustion process is a common method of internal combustion engines.

1.Intake Stroke - The piston draws the fuel/air mixture into the combustion chamber.

2.Compression Stroke - The piston rises, and compresses the fuel/air mixture.

3.Combustion Stroke - The spark plug ignites the mixture, forcing the piston downward.

4.Exhaust Stroke - The burnt fuel is expelled from the chamber.
