The piston is the internal

component of the engine that

reciprocates up and down in a
cylinder, compressing an air/fuel
mixture and then exerting force
from the controlled explosion of
that mixture downward onto the
connecting rod and crankshaft.
m

is Piston engines provided lots of
power without weighing down the
machine. Credit for inventing
history's first piston engine goes to
French physicist Denis Papin, who
published his design for a piston
steam engine in 1690.
