The piston valve system is primarily used in brass instruments, with the most notable examples being the Trumpet, Trombone, and tuba. Additionally, some specialty instruments, like the euphonium and French horn, also utilize piston valves. Overall, while the exact number can vary, numerous brass instruments employ this system for pitch modulation and tone production.

Which brass instrument is built with rotary valves?

I'm no brass instrument, but rotary valves are used for several instruments. French horns all seem to have them. They're pretty common on tubas as well. There are even some rotary valve trumpets out there. I don't know, though, anything about the advantages and/or disadvantages of rotary valves as opposed to the piston valves that seem to be more common for most brass instruments.

How does an automobile's power plant works?

I cant really understand exactly what you are saying but if you are talking about the motor it varies upon what car you have, but most engines are piston engines that have a piston on top of a rod that is on top of a crankshaft, that moves when the engine is at work, there are 2 valves per cylinder which open at certain times of the engine cycle, it starts when the intake valve opens allowing gas and air mixture to come in when the piston is pulling down it pulls the mixture in, the piston moves back up and causes compression which at the perfect timing the spark plug fires and causes a explosion in the cylinder pushing the piston back down, the exhaust valve opens and the piston moves back up pushing all the exhaust gasses out and restarting the cycle but remember there are more than one piston in a typical car engine so there are many pistons doing a cycle at different intervals keeping the engine running.

How many strokes r on a 4 stroke?

Four. The "four strokes" refer to 1) intake ~ The intake valve opens as the piston goes down to suck in the fuel and air mixture 2) compression ~ The intake valve closes and the piston goes up to compress the mixture 3) combustion (power) ~ The spark plug ignites the mixture forcing the piston down 4) and exhaust ~ The exhaust valve opens as the piston goes up to push out the burned gas strokes that occur during two full crankshaft rotations. This is the most basic of explanations, it's far more accurate to think of the cycle in terms of 8 phases rather than 4 180 degree strokes. It would take too much space here to explain but isn't really all that complicated.


When you change a home air conditioning value do you have to drain all of the freon?

That would depend on where in the system the valve is. In many instances you can pump down the unit so all of the refrigerant is in the condenser and change a valve that is on the low side of the system or indoors.
