Rhombic Mechanism
A Rhombic mechanism consists of two gears, four connecting rods, and two
yoke for a displacer and a power piston. When the mechanism is idedally
constructed, the displacer and the power piston have perfect straight motions.
But in order to get the ideal motions, it is needed high accrate machinings.
