NIKOLAUS AUGUST OTTO

1891 - 1832

Nicholas August Otto was a German inventor. He created the first four-stroke internal explosion engine and is the prototype for hundreds of millions. Those machines that have been established since his reign until now.

The implosion engine is a multi-use invention, as it is used to supply power and movement to cars, motor boats, and motorcycles. It has several industrial applications and was one of the vital requirements for the aircraft industry, but its most practical application is moving cars.

There were several attempts to create cars before (Otto), but none of the inventors could reach a suitable type of engine. Light weight with high power, and perhaps inventors in the future will be able to create stronger and better types, but out of the hundreds of millions of cars that were created in the current century, we find that 99% of them have used the four-stroke internal explosion engine.

As for the diesel engine, it is a form of the explosive engine that is used in trucks, buses and ships. Four-strokes are used mainly in the style of the (Otto) engine, but the fuel enters a different stage.

The vast majority of scientific inventions (with the exception of weapons and explosives) were created for the benefit of humanity. It is rare, for example, for anyone to suggest that humanity abandon the use of refrigerators or penicillin, or limit their use. However, a decline in the widespread use of cars has become evident. Cars are too crude, cause air pollution, consume fuel that will become scarce, and cause a terrible number of deaths and injuries every year. But there is no doubt that we would not have tolerated the shortcomings of cars had it not been for their definite virtues. The private car is more flexible than the public car, as it can transport you at the time you want and to where you want and provides fast and comfortable services, and it has increased the personal freedom of the person.

There are about 100 million cars in the United States, and they travel thousands of millions of miles each year, and these distances exceed the distances traveled by trains, planes, ships, or any other form of transportation.

Car builder Nicholas August Otto was born in 1832 in Holzhausen, Germany. His father died when he was a child, so he left school at an early age to gain work experience. He worked first as a grocery worker in a small town, then as a clerk in Frankfurt, then as a peddler.

In about 1860, Otto heard of the gas engine invented by Athenian Lenore, then the four-stroke engine.

In January 1863, he established the first model for that engine, but he encountered difficulties in financing his project after he obtained the patent, and finally he found a partner to finance it, so he built a small factory and continued to improve the engine.

There is a personality that had an impact (according to the author's opinion) in the development of the automobile industry, and he is Henry Ford, the famous American inventor and industrialist. Ford did not build his first car until 1896, and his model did not appear until 1908.

The credit for the invention of the implosion engine must be shared by the author's opinion - several persons, namely, Lenore, Otto, Daimler, Benz and Ford.
