Piston

The anatomy of a piston is quite intricate, featuring a cylindrical shape with one end closed and the other open, allowing it to move within a cylinder in an engine. It has a head, which seals against the cylinder wall when compressed, and a skirt that slides inside the cylinder. The piston also contains rings, designed to prevent combustion gases from leaking past it into the cylinder. This complex structure enables efficient conversion of energy within internal combustion engines.
