Alfred Nobel created dynamite in 1867, by moulding nitroglycerine and a mud-like compound found near his laboratories called kieselguhr into individual cylinders.

This is for 381 cases since 1988, where individual cylinders were recalibrated in less than 6 months.

Secondary harmonics can be balanced in some multi-cylinder engines by appropriate selection of the phase of motion of individual cylinders.

Because each individual cylinder requires its own control channel, the original Audio-Animatronic figures were relatively simple in design, to reduce the number of channels required.

With electronic ignition systems, individual cylinders can have their own individual timing so that timing can be as aggressive as possible per cylinder without fuel detonation.

The V-12 Tartar was of radically different construction in that individual cylinders formed each bank as opposed to groups of three in integral blocks.

The system modified the air-fuel ratio of individual cylinders based on RPM to give sharper throttle response while also maintaining a stable idle.

Separating the gas flows from the individual cylinders so that undesirable inter-cylinder interference is avoided.

Allowing the individual cylinders to assist one another by means of the negative pressure waves generated at the collector, where the individual exhausts merge.

In most applications, the compressed air from both turbos is combined in a common intake manifold and sent to the individual cylinders.
