WHAT DOES DESMODROMIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

desmodromic

Desmodromic valve

A desmodromic valve is a reciprocating engine valve that is positively closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring. The valves in a typical four-stroke engine allow the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder at the beginning of the cycle and exhaust gases to be expelled at the end of the cycle. In a conventional four-stroke engine valves are opened by a cam and closed by return spring. An engine using desmodromic valves has two cams and two actuators, each for positive opening and closing without a return spring.

Definition of desmodromic in the English dictionary

The definition of desmodromic in the dictionary is that are controlled in both directions of their movement. A desmodromic valve is one which is actively both opened and closed by a mechanism rather than by a spring.
