HISTORY

Almost every vehicle you have ever been in has been powered by an Internal Combustion Engine.

This invention is one of the greatest advancements of the industrial world since sliced bread. 

By the early 1700’s we were able to effectively harness the steam from boiling water to do work for us – this was known as an external combustion engine, where the burning of the fuel was done outside the engine itself (it was the steam we used).

The engine as we know it was patented in 1876 by Nikolaus Otto with a 4-stroke design, and in 1879 by Karl Benz with a 2-stroke design.
