When you start a V-8 engine, you are only driving two cylinders (1 liter) through their compression strokes, but with one big cylinder you would have to compress 4 liters instead.

当你启动V - 8发动机时，只是通过压缩冲程驱动了两个气缸(1升)，但是如果是一个大气缸你必须要压缩4升。

Now both sides of the cylinder are used to compress gas, one side being in suction when the other is in compression.

气缸的两侧都用于压缩气体，一侧吸入气体时另一侧压缩气体。

结果表明在纵向进气滚流作用下，压缩终了时，缸内混合气明显呈分层构造，在火花塞附近聚集较浓的可燃混合气，实现部分负荷工况下的稀薄燃烧。
