A rotary valve, at the ones I'm familiar with, is typically used to move solid materials from a hopper. Basically the valve is designed with a paddle wheel which is shaft-mounted and driven by a motor. The rotary valve is similar to a revolving door: the paddles or blades form an airtight seal with the housing; the motor slowly moves the blades to allow the solids to discharge from the hopper. I know how Trumpet rotary valves work. Just tilt the trumpet sideways so the rotary valves face upwards and play.

Answering all of those questions would end up being a dissertation, and probably more than would be appropriate for Answers.com The valves of the heart prevent the blood that is pumped out from flowing back to the heart or backward in veins.

How do you fix head on leganza?

It depends what is the problem. Broken/bent valves usually means you need full machine shop work to see if the head is repairable. If only leaking valve seats, you can hand lap the valves yourself if you have the tools and equipment. But in any event, you may require special tools to adjust the valves after the head is installed if you do the work yourself.
