In 1859 a Belgian engineer Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoirdeveloped the first internal combustion engine for gas.

It was a single-cylinder two-stroke engine which burnt a mixture of coal gas and air ignited by a spark-ignition system. He patented it in 1860.

Then Nicolaus Otto invented a gasoline motor engine in 1876. He built the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine - called the "Otto Cycle Engine" - and built it into a motorcycle.

Otto's patent was later revoked when it was contested by Beau de Rochas.

Did the first steam engine ever built produce carbon dioxide?

The first steam engine built by Thomas Savery in the late 17th century did not produce carbon dioxide as we know it. The combustion of coal or wood in early steam engines released carbon monoxide and other pollutants, but carbon dioxide would have been a minor byproduct.

The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the exhaust valve.


Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?

Internal combustion engines burn fuel inside the engine to generate power, while external combustion engines burn fuel outside the engine and use the resulting heat to create power, such as in steam engines. Internal combustion engines are more common in vehicles due to their compact size and efficiency, while external combustion engines are used in specific applications like power plants and some marine propulsion systems.


What device mixes air and petrol for the internal combustion engine?

The device that mixes air and petrol for the internal combustion engine is the carburetor. It controls the air-fuel ratio to ensure efficient combustion in the engine.


What is the difference between internal combustion engine and external combustion engine?

In an Internal Combustion Engine, the Fuel is burnt in the cylinder or vessel eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Gasoline engines, Wankel engines, diesels, gas turbines are all examples of internal combustion.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burnt. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains.
