Lifters are a person or thing which lifts, a mechanical device used to raise and move something. they are not antigravitational, they only help to put somehing on another level, like to put a box on another one. Sometimes, or nearly always, they work with pneumatic systems. and they really work 😉 and i?ve found a picture..look here: http://fireandfuel.com/crower%20roller%20lifters.jpg

What are "lifters"?
The lifter is one of the most critical pieces in an engine combination. Whether it be mechanical or hydraulic, flat tappet or roller, the lifter determines how the camshaft will react to the balance of the engine combination. As operating range increases, lifter and valve float become serious considerations increased spring pressure can sometimes be the answer, but more often than not, the ability of the lifter to manage the load is the key to success or valve train failure.
