burning fuel
An external combustion engine is where something is burning outside of the actual engine and the energy is transmitted to the engine via something. (e.g. boiler creates steam that goes to the engine a.k.a. steam engine) In an internal combustion engine, the burning happens in the actual cylinders of the engine. (e.g. car engine)
Many different car engines have been invented. The first internal combustion engine was invented in 1807. It used a fuel of hydrogen and oxygen. In 1858 the first coal gas fueled internal combustion engine was invented. In 1864 a gasoline fueled engine was attached to a cart.
Jacob Christian Hansen Ellehammer invented the first 3 cylinder radial internal combustion engine in 1904.
The internal combustion engine was invented in 1876 by German engineer Nikolaus August Otto. Otto's engine, commonly known as the "Otto engine," was the first successful four-stroke engine and revolutionized the way people think about and use engines. The internal combustion engine has since become a crucial technology for powering everything from cars and boats to generators and airplanes.
