Abstract
The rotational motion of the valve during engine operation exists and research presented in this paper has shown that it can have significant importance in the costs related to the operation of the system. The main motion of the valve is an alternating translation along its axis of symmetry, but which is accompanied by an independent rotation around its own axis, possibly due to the constructive shape of the valve. This rotational movement is an important phenomenon with practical applications. The existence of this valve rotation movement has a number of advantages, mainly leading to an increase in the operating period of the valve and implicitly of the engine. An experimental study of the valve rotation is presented in the paper and a comparison with theoretical models is made.
