Reciprocating engine has had a peer review by Wikipedia editors which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article. |
The following was inserted into the article on May 30, 2006 by an annonymous user (IP: 196.1.52.222) I'm not sure what it's referring to, but it doesn't appear to belong in the article (and certainly needs cleanup, and conversion to an NPOV version written in the third person):
In the first chapter that introduces the piston engine the conclusion is drawn that the more cylinders the more powerful the engine will be. Im am not sure this is correct, in fact it can in certain cirumstances be incorrect. For example a 2000cc 4 cylinder engine may in teory be capable of producing more power then a six cylinder engine of the same capacity, because the six cylinder engine (due to more moving parts) will produce more drag from internal parts then the four cylinder engine. I would argue that the capacity of the engine is the determining factor rather then the number of pistons.
I have, therefore, removed it.Cbvt 21:40, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
