Nikolavs August Otto,German. The first practical "four-stroke" engine was patented by the Otto and Langen Company of Deutz, Germany. Nikolaus Otto was a salesman with a grocer when he read of Lenoir's two-stroke gas-driven internal combustion engine. Otto started a workshop in Deutz near Cologne, supported by Langen in 1863. He had a model engine built and improved upon the gas engine, making it a practical power source. The four-stroke Otto Engine was invented in 1876, and a large number of engines were produced under the patent of Otto and Langen. It was however, a German engineer named Gottlieb Daimler, who, carried out much of the development work on the engine. Daimler was at the time employed with Otto and Langen, and a substantial credit for the success is due to him.

What are the four strokes to a four stroke engine?

The four strokes of a four-stroke engine are the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. During the intake stroke, the engine draws in air and fuel. The compression stroke then compresses this mixture, followed by the power stroke, where the spark plug ignites the mixture, generating power. Finally, in the exhaust stroke, the engine expels the burnt gases from the combustion process.
