Drawing and Explanation of Boyle's Law Applied to the 1893 Kitchen Sink Engine, Henry Ford's First Gasoline Engine
Add to SetSummary
Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container surrounding it decreases. In an internal combustion engine, this means that the air in the cylinder increases in pressure as the piston pushes against it during the compression stroke.
