1904: The first overhead valve engine in a mass-production car is fitted to the American Buick Model B sedan. 1904 The first V12 engine is built by Putney Motor Works in London for use in racing boats. The engine is known as the "Craig-Dörwald" engine after Putney's founding partners.
The engine has a claim to be the world's first internal combustion engine and contained some features of modern engines including spark ignition and the use of hydrogen gas as a fuel. Starting with a stationary engine suitable to work a pump in 1804, de Rivaz progressed to a small experimental vehicle built in 1807, which was the first wheeled ...
The discrete, virtually simultaneous, implementations of these two designs of internal combustion in different modes of transport means that the de Rivaz engine can be correctly described as "the world's first use of an internal combustion engine in an auto-mobile (in 1808)", whilst the "Pyréolophore (in 1807) was the world's first use of an ...
Car and car engine designers, chronologically by first vehicle/engine built. Nicolaus Otto, developer of the first successful compressed charge gaseous fueled internal combustion engine (1860s-70s) Wilhelm Maybach, designed engines starting in the 1870s-80s; the first motorbike (1885), the second internal combustion car (1889)
1954 – Felix Wankel creates the first working Wankel engine. [20] 1957 – Rambler Rebel announced Electrojector electronic fuel injection option, however no production models were offered with the option. 1964 – Ion engine invented. [21] 1966 – RD-0410 nuclear thermal rocket engine was ground-tested.
Cell, a shorthand for Cell Broadband Engine Architecture, [a] is a 64-bit multi-core microprocessor and microarchitecture that combines a general-purpose PowerPC core of modest performance with streamlined coprocessing elements [2] which greatly accelerate multimedia and vector processing applications, as well as many other forms of dedicated computation.
Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell (black layered cube) in its enclosure Scheme of a proton-conducting fuel cell. A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) [1] into electricity through a pair of redox reactions. [2]
Assembly of the first CJ-1000AX engine was completed in December 2017 after an 18-month process. Twenty-four more engines were built to support an airworthiness certification program. The engine was planned to enter service after 2021. [3] In May 2018, the first engine ran in a Shanghai test cell reaching a core speed of 6,600 rpm. [1]
