Who invented the internal combustion engine.?
Inventor of the Internal Combustion EngineGottlieb Daimler invented the internal combustion engine.I am sorry to say but it was not Daimler who invented the first internal combustion engine it was in fact Christian Huygens, who invented it in 1680, however the first gasoline engine was not created till 1859 by J. J. Étienne Lenoir, a french engineer.Daimler took their concepts and developed the engine in 1885, which is said to be recognized as the modern petrol engine, he later went on to produce the first 4-stroke V-twin engine in 1889.Nikolaus august ottoLenoir actually engineered his engine in 1858. Also he was Belgian, born in the Belgian province of Luxembourg, not French. He Emigrated to Paris, France in the early 1850's
When was the first combustion engine made?
"Combustion engine" is a pretty generic term.Arguably the aeolipile was a very simple combustion engine, and it was described by Hero (that's a name, not a title) of Alexandria in the 1st Century.James Watt patented his steam engine in 1781.Robert Stirling developed an external combustion engine that did not use steam in 1816.The first internal combustion engine that we'd today recognize as an "engine" was probably the one developed by Christiaan Huygens (you may have heard the name before; he's more famous as an astronomer) in the 17th Century. It ran on gunpowder and was designed to operate water pumps for the palace gardens at Versailles.
How long has the internal combustion engine been around fro?
In, 1680 Christian Huygens designed the first internal combustion engine. In 1859, Etienne Lenoir designed the first commercially successful engine.
What did Christopher Huygens invent?
He invented the first pendulem clock, and he also designed a basic form of the internal combustion engine. He planned to have the engine run by gunpowder.
Who invented the modern clock?
Year 1656 by Christian Huygens. Year 1656 by Christian Huygens.
Who invented the modern day clocks?
Year 1656 by Christian Huygens Year 1656 by Christian Huygens
What did Christian huyens contribute to in physics?
Christiaan Huygens was most famous for his theories of light, and optics, explaining reflection, refraction and various other laws about light waves.He is also known for designing the first internal combustion engine, and for his work on what is now essentially Newton's Second Law of Motion.

When was a two -stroke dirt bike built?
First Engine Ever InventedSo now we know that the first motorcycle was built by either Otto or Daimler but we still don't know who made the first engine to get the motorcycle to run. Well apparently the first engine to be invented was by the Dutch scientist Christian Huygens in 1678 and ran on gunpowder but he never actually got around to actually building it. A few hundred years later a guy named Etienne Lenoir built an internal combustion engine much like Huygens model, only this one ran on gasoline. Then in 1866 Nikolaus Otto teamed up with a guy named Eugen Langen and they made a better internal combustion engine. All these engines so far have been two-strokes, but in 1876 Otto developed what we know today as the four-stroke internal combustion engine.
