Last time, we learned that a crankshaft is an engineering device which converts the reciprocating linear motion of an engine’s back-and-forth moving piston into the rotary motion that powers externally attached machinery. Its movement is shown here, A Crankshaft in Motion
We’ll see how a crankshaft and piston’s motion benefits by the use of a flywheel next time. opyright 2017 – Philip J. O’Keefe, PE Engineering Expert Witness Blog ____________________________________ |
