Pistons work by converting the pressure generated from combustion or other forces into mechanical motion. In an engine, fuel and air are ignited inside a cylinder, creating high-pressure gases that push the piston down. This linear motion is then transferred to the crankshaft, which converts it into rotational motion to power the vehicle. The piston's movement is cyclical, repeating with each engine cycle to maintain continuous power output.
