Kauros August Otto was born in the French town of Holzhaosen at 1832. His father died when he was a baby. Otto was an excellent student at school, but he dropped out of middle school at the age of sixteen, got a job and gained business experience. He used to work in a grocery store in a small town, then worked as a clerk in Frankfurt and then became a salesman. Around 1860, Otto heard that Etienne lenoir (1822- 1900) had recently invented a gas engine, which was the first available internal combustion engine. Otto realized that if the lenoir gas turbine can be started by using liquid fuel, its use will be greatly increased, because in this case, it does not have to be connected to the gas pipeline. He soon invented a carburetor, but his patent application was rejected by the patent office because someone invented a similar device.
Otto was not discouraged by editing this paragraph.
Instead, we tried our best to reform the Nunava gas turbine. As early as 186 1, he envisioned to build a basically brand-new engine, a four-stroke engine (different from the two-stroke prototype engine). 1862 In February, Otto made a working prototype of a four-stroke engine. He encountered difficulties in making the new engine practical, especially in the ignition device, and soon put it on hold. But he invented the "atmospheric engine", which is an innovative two-stroke engine powered by gas. 1863, he obtained the patent right of this innovation, and soon found a partner named Eugene Gan Lan, who provided him with financial support. They set up a small company to continue to improve the engine. 1867 Their two-stroke engine won the gold medal at the Paris World Expo. Since then, the market has been smooth sailing; The company's profits soared. From 65438 to 0872, they hired a talented and experienced engineer, Gotelli Ye Bo Daimler, to help produce engines. Although the two-stroke engine made a lot of profits, Otto still stuck to his original four-stroke engine. He was convinced that four Otto's four-stroke internal combustion engines
If the mixture of fuel and air is compressed first and then ignited, the efficiency of a one-stroke engine will be much higher than that of any improved lenoir two-stroke engine. In 1876, Otto designed an improved ignition system, which can be used to manufacture a practical four-stroke engine. The first such prototype was manufactured in May of 18 16, and was patented the following year. The four-stroke engine has obvious advantages in power and performance, so it entered the market at once and achieved great success. In the following ten years alone, more than 30,000 sets were sold, and various models of lenoir engines were quickly eliminated.
Edit this paragraph 1886
Otto's German patent for inventing a four-stroke engine was overturned by a patent lawsuit. It turns out that the Frenchman alfons Bo. Rorschach designed a basically similar device in 1862 and obtained a patent. But people should not regard Bo Rorschach as an influential figure. His inventions have never entered the market. In fact, he has never made a prototype, and Otto knows nothing about his invention. Although Otto Company lost its valuable patent right, it continued to make money. By the time he 189 1 died, the company was already prosperous.
Editing this paragraph about internal combustion engines and automobiles is of amazing importance.
If a person can enjoy the honor of inventing them alone, he will be the best in this book. But the main credit for these inventions belongs to several people: Lenova, Otto, Daimler, Mercedes-Benz and Ford. Of all these people, Otto contributed the most. Lenoir engine does have low horsepower and power, so it can't drive, but Otto engine can. Before Otto invented his engine in 1876, it was almost impossible to make a practical car, but after that, it was natural. Therefore, NiKauros August Otto is one of the real creators of the contemporary world.
