In 1859 a Belgian engineer Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoirdeveloped the first internal combustion engine. 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.
Nicolaus Otto invented a gas 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.
Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoi
American engineer named George Brayton made the first petrol engine. It was a two-stroke kerosene engine.
Nicholas Joseph Cugnot really invented it in 1769.
Neither Daimler nor Benz did, they just invented highly successful and practical gas-powered automobiles that ushered in the age of modern motor vehicles.

Which is better a 350 engine or a 383 engine?
I would depend on if you are asking a Chevy man or a Mopar man. Personally I like the Chevy 350.
If you are referring to a Chevy 383 made from a 350 block with a 400 crank, it would always make more torque than a 350. So if torque is what you're after, "there's no replacement for displacement".
Can you give new titles for mechanical symposium?
Mechanics of the cunning nature.
We can with the cunning use of materials and nature.
But today we made the destruction of nature.
Best name for mechanics symposium. symposium is cunning.
What is the difference between 1800cc and 2500cc engine?
The difference is in the size of the engine. Specifically in the intake and exhaust ports. The bore and stroke of the crank and pistons and the size of the combustion chambers.
What kind of combustion engine does a truck use?
Depends on the vehicle. if you mean Heavy truck like a eighteen wheeler or dump truck then most of them use Diesel engines. If you mean light duty truck like a 1500 Chevy or dodge or f150 its gasoline. If heavyer then that it could be either gas or diesel.
What do you use a combustion engine for?
a combustion engine is anything that runs on a "combustible fuel" or flammable which creates pressure in the engine to cause it to run. so an answer to your question is combustion engines are used for everything
How do you time a 90 Chrysler Lebaron 3.0 V6 Mitsubishi engine?
1. Pull the serpentine belt using a half inch breaker bar to release the tensioner. 2. Pull crankshaft dampener pulley (22 mm socket)- use an impact wrench, if this will not loosen the bolt, use a breaker bar, resting it on the lower control arm, disconnecting the coil wire, and bumping the motor over. 3.Remove the AC belt by loosening the nut on the front of the tensioner pulley then the bolt on top of the tensioner pulley. 4. Remove the tensioner pulley (15 mm socket) 3 bolts. 5.Remove AC compressor (15 mm socket) 2 bolts and 2 nuts. 6. Remove AC compressor bracket (15 mm socket) 3 bolts 2 on top and one under the compressor. 7. Place a jack under the motor and remove the engine support plate from the block (14 mm socket) 4 bolts. 8. Remove the power steering pump bolts through the access hole in the front of the pulley (15 mm socket) 2 bolts - loosen the nut on the back of the power steering pump (15 mm socket). 9. Remove motor mount from the passenger side fender (12 mm) socket and pull entire engine support plate out. 10. Remove 3 plastic timing belt covers (10 mm socket) 8-10 bolts. With covers removed you will be able to see the 2 cam gears and the crank gear. The timing arrows on the cams will allign with the lines on the belt cover backs and the notch on the crank gear will allign with the line on the oil pump. The rear cam gear is tricky to allign because of the lobe of the cam. 11. Loosen the belt tensioner pulley bolt (12 mm socket), With a screw driver release the tension on the timing belt and retighten the bolt. Remove timing belt. 12. Yes that is your water pump that runs off the timing belt and I recommend you change it now instead of having to go through all this again if it goes out. There is one bolt that goes into the top of the water pump that is tricky to get out, but with a little brute force on the bracket you can get it out without pulling the intake manifold. I did not repace this bolt when I reassembled. 13. Replace timing belt loosen and retighten belt tensioner. Spin motor a few revolutions and recheck timing marks so you are sure it stays correct, you dont want to put this all back together and find out it jumped a tooth. 14. Reverse all to finish and good luck.

-------------------------------------
Without knowing the hull shape (and therefore hull speed), no one can answer this question. A barge hull has very different power requirements from a V or pontoon hull. A smaller but important question you need to answer is how much you want to derate your power (reliability, range) at cruise speed. Knowing the waterline length of your boat is far more helpful in this regard than its overall length.

Well, how big of a "horsepower engine should I get" is a good question.
I have owned a 43ft houseboat, and of similar weight, so there is no simple answer, but to start,:
1) What did it have before? The easiest alternative is to replace what was in there before.
2) You have two choices, do you want to put a small motor and cruise at "hull speed" (@ 5-7 knots), or do you want to "get up" and plane.
3) If you want to get up and plane, you may not be able to plane with one V8, but twin V6's should do it, and twin v8's should definitely give you the "get up and go".
Either way, I love houseboats, their "simply the BEST".
If you like more information, please feel free to visit my houseboat website at http://www.all-about-houseboats.com
Hope this helps, and good luck with your project...
Sincerely, IAN.
Easy engine swap for 89 240sx?
The easiest engine swaps for a 240sx would be an sr20det or a ca18det as these require no modification to the motor mount location.
Where are the heads located on an engine?
On top of the driver and passenger silly! Just kidding. The heads are the block of metal bolted on top of the engine and contain the top of the combustion chambers. They may or may not also carry the intake and exhaust valves. Many aircraft engines and some racing engines have no heads, instead they have "pots" covering the piston and combustion chamber as one piece.
Should you put a heavy duty starter on a new 1776cc VW engine?
Unless it was built with high compression and or a "big" cam causing high cylinder pressures a stocker should suffice .
Where is the engine pre heater on the 98 cummins engine?
The intake heater is the square block between the air horn and the intake manifold.
When was the Stirling engine invented?
It was invented in 1816 by Robert Stirling.
You can find much more information about stirling engines and carnot cycles on Wikipedia.
How can I find a engine diagram for a 2001 vauxhall astra 1.6 8v Engine code X16SZR?
Not sure what you mean by "engine diagram". Do you need the wiring around the engine,or a line drawing of the engine itself? Vauxhall CD manuals on e-bay for a few pounds should cover your needs I think.
Why does your 2000 Merucry Cougar's engine sputter at idle?
Possibly needs idle air control, map sensor, possible vaccum or vaccum hose leak-more likely later of the two. Need fuel injection cleaner-Lucas is the best. May need tune up, try different brand of gas or premium.
What is an internal-combustion engine?
An internal combustion engine is an engine that uses air, fuel, and spark to create the power to move. A perfect air-fuel mixture is pulled into the cumbustion chamber, its compressed by the piston, and once its compressed the spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture and the process is completed.
What is the normal engine operating temperature for a 3306 cat engine?
The normal engine operating temperature, for a 3306 Caterpillar diesel engine, is 180 degrees. The engine should not be operated at temperatures above 200 degrees.
Normally when an engine is "seized up" it is frozen to the point that the crankshaft will not turn in the bearings. This is caused by heat most times the car has been run low or out of oil. The parts that have seized or melted together could be main or rod bearings, piston rings etc. If the engine will not turn over by hand it probably time for a complete rebuild or a new engine. Sorry
Why engine oil is mix with petrol in some engine?
Oil is mixed with Petrol in what is known as a 2 cycle engine. This type of engine has no lubrication built in (as say an oil tank on a 4 cycle engine) so as the fuel/oil mixture burns lubrication is provided to the cylinder.
Why do cars use internal combustion engines rather than external combustion engines?
The term "Internal combustion" means the burning, or combustion of the fuel/air is detonated in an enclosed cylinder under compression, driving piston down. If the combustion was external, there would simply be an explosion in the air that produces no power.
Who invented the radial engine?
Jacob Christian Hansen Ellehammer invented the first 3 cylinder radial internal combustion engine in 1904.
What is diesel electric propulsion?
Unfortunately, the link didn't make it with the above post, so I'll give it a shot. The diesel electric propulsion system uses a diesel engine(s) to turn generators which in turn power electric motors that turn a drive (or prop) shaft. This differs from other hybrid propulsion systems that require batteries (added weight plus replacement costs) to store the electricity. The advantages of diesel electric propulsion systems include reduced noise, increased efficiency, greater reliability due to fewer moving parts, less space, lighter, etc. These systems are now making their way into smaller applications such as pleasure craft. Hope that helps. new answer the same system is also used extensively on train locomotives. you see quite oten 2 or 3 locos but only one puffing exhaust that one is generating electricity for generators on all 3 locomotives Another new answer: the term "diesel electric" also applies to non-nuclear submarines. When on the surface (or using a snorkel) the boats are powered by diesel engines, which also charge batteries to be used when the submarine is submerged. Diesel engines require oxygen so can't be used when the boat is submerged, and the engines are also noisy, when submarines need to be quiet.
What in a automobile engine serves no purpose but without it the engine does not work?
Noise. Without noise, it can't work. Noise is in an engine, and without it does not work. Every engine has to make some kind of noise, internal or external, inside or outside the engine.
