Introduction: TWO STROKE ENGINE MODEL
How does a two stroke engine work? now on-wards learning the physics behind the two stroke engine is very simple and easy. I have created a model to explain the physics behind two stroke engine. Like animations, models can also play an important role in teaching people the working principle effectively.

Step 4: Crank and Piston Making
I used transparent plastic bottles to create crankcase and cylinder. Transparency is our primary consideration over performance. Our project is almost completed. Crank and piston are the most important components of an engine. So, I can say that our project is 50 percent completed. As I already mentioned, piston, piston rod, crank, and crankshaft are the key parts which convert downward and upward motion of the piston. I used the cap of a male body perfume can as piston.
