Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Monday, 15 May 2023 is Engine displacement.
Engine displacement is the measure of the cylinder volume swept by all of the pistons of a piston engine, excluding the combustion chambers. It is commonly used as an expression of an engine's size, and by extension as a loose indicator of the power an engine might be capable of producing and the amount of fuel it should be expected to consume. For this reason displacement is one of the measures often used in advertising, as well as regulating, motor vehicles.
It is usually expressed using the metric units of cubic centimetres (cc or cm3, equivalent to millilitres) or litres (l or L), or – particularly in the United States – cubic inches (CID, cu in, or in3).
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Monday, 15 May 2023.
