When a piston in an engine is pushed up into its cylinder, the upward movement traps the mixture of air and fuel above it and compresses it to one-eighth or one-ninth of its original volume. This puts the molecules closer together, so they hit the piston head far more often. Thus, the pressure goes up. 3, record 1, English, - piston%20crown
