  2. George Brayton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Brayton

    George Bailey Brayton (1830–1892) was an American mechanical engineer and inventor. He was noted for introducing the constant pressure engine that is the basis for the gas turbine , and which is now referred to as the Brayton cycle .

    George Brayton invented the first commercial liquid-fueled internal combustion engine in 1872. In 1876, Nicolaus Otto, working with Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, patented the compressed charge, four-stroke cycle engine. In 1879, Karl Benz patented a reliable two-stroke gas engine.

  4. Brayton cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brayton_cycle

    The engine cycle is named after George Brayton (1830–1892), the American engineer, who developed the Brayton Ready Motor in 1872, using a piston compressor and piston expander. [1] An engine using the cycle was originally proposed and patented by Englishman John Barber in 1791, using a reciprocating compressor and a turbine expander. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    In 1872, American George Brayton invented the first commercial liquid-fueled internal combustion engine. In 1876, Nicolaus Otto began working with Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, patented the compressed charge, four-cycle engine. In 1879, Karl Benz patented a reliable two-stroke gasoline engine.

  7. Hot air engine - Wikipedia

    Differs from Otto cycle in that V 1 < V 4. Brayton: adiabatic: isobaric: adiabatic: isobaric Ramjets, turbojets, -props, and -shafts. Originally developed for use in reciprocating engines. The external combustion version of this cycle is known as the first Ericsson cycle from 1833. Diesel: adiabatic: isobaric: adiabatic: isochoric Diesel engine ...

  8. Dugald Clerk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugald_Clerk

    Sir Dugald Clerk's two-cycle engine. Clerk began work on his own engine designs in October 1878 after modifying a Brayton engine with a spark plug. Brayton engines (called "Ready Motors" were made from 1872 to 1876) and were one of the first engines to successfully use compression and combust fuel in the cylinder.
