Taper type internal combustion engine piston design:
Aim of this project is to increase the force applied to conrod as keeping the geometry limited.
Pneumatically powered bicycle project:
This bike is driven through oppressing air pistons via pedals. Hence there is no chain mechanism. The operator oppresses pedals thus cylinders supply pressurized air power to the rear wheel air motor.
Air is first driven through a cyclone air filter to the cylinder.

The assumption behind EYEYE system is that it is essential to understand information transfer in a networked system if the system is to develop an internal worldview, which is essential for creation of meaning.
Reaction wheels (RWs) are not only the standard solution for attitude control of conventional spacecraft such as telecommunication satellites, but they are also frequently used in smaller satellites with demanding attitude control requirements. Due to their simplicity and compactness, ball bearings are commonly utilized for mounting RWs,
