This thread is truly starting to deliver

 

Repeatedly igniting a roughly homogeneous and stoichiometric mixture of gasoline and air in a closed but variable-volume chamber, using the pressure produced by the combustion to exert force upon the face of an aluminum plate producing linear motion, which is then translated to rotational movement by a lever acting upon a shaft.

If you do this quickly enough, it's possible to produce between 200-250 HP on a continuous basis.

 

Cannot prop this enough.

 

I believe Corky is referring to 404's sig quote as 'out of context'.

 

That's the best way TO use quotes.

 

I'm not entirely confident Corky realized that it was in a signature and didn't necessarily have anything to do with the discussion at hand.

Because FaeFae's would be even MORE off the wall.
