Karl Benz Research Paper

Automobile engines is one of the greatest inventions in history. Automobile engines have made it easier and better for us to get around. A gasoline engine's power a lot of things other than cars that help us out in life. The first gasoline automobile engine was first built in 1876 in Germany. It was built by the man named Karl Benz. benz was born on November 25, 1844 and he grew up in Germany. When he got older he studied at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Benz graduated July 9, 1864 with a degree of mechanical engineering. While Benz was still in school he started thinking about the idea of the horseless carriage. Karl Benz started working at a mechanics workshop when he was 27 years old, in 1871. There he worked with his friend Austin Ritter.

In 1871 Karl Benz started working on his idea of the 2 stroke engine. He had some business misfortune and he was trying to find a new way to make a new source of income. Karl Benz had patent several different engine parts such as the speed regulator system, the water radiator, the spark plug, the ignition using spark with the battery, the carburetor, the clutch, the gear

The diesel engines do not have spark plugs like gasoline engines do. The diesel engines run off hot air. The diesel engines has a high compression that allows the air in the cylinders to become hot. When the air in the cylinders is hot enough it will ignite the fuel. The diesel engine has fuel injectors instead of spark plugs. At first the diesel engine was not put into cars or trucks. They were run in trains and ships, then later they used them in buses. It was not until 1923 that Daimler put the diesel engine in the trucks. The first diesel engine to be put in a car was made by Citroen Rosalie. His car was the first passenger car with a diesel engine. The new diesel car had a lot of restrictions so the diesel powered car did not go into production until
