The four stroke cycle is a fundamental concept in car engines. It refers to the four
distinct stages that a piston goes through during one complete cycle. These four stages
are commonly known as intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust.
In the intake stroke, the piston moves downward, allowing the intake valve to open and
the fuel-air mixture to enter the combustion chamber.
In the compression stroke, the piston moves upward, compressing the fuel-air mixture
in the combustion chamber.
In the combustion stroke, the compressed fuel-air mixture is ignited by a spark plug,
causing a controlled explosion that forces the piston back down.
In the exhaust stroke, the piston moves upward again, pushing the burnt gases out of
the combustion chamber and through the exhaust valve.
This four stroke cycle is repeated continuously as the engine runs, allowing for the
continuous generation of power.
