While the concept engine only takes a step closer to the efficiency principles of Beau de Rochas (Otto), it is readily feasible and constitutes the most efficient alternative to the ideal efficiencies awaiting the development of the Quasiturbine photo-detonation engine, in which compression pressure and rapidity of ignition are maximized.
Beau de Rochas' engine theory was first applied by Nikolaus Otto in 1876 to a four-stroke engine of Otto's own design.

It was in 1861 that Alphonse Beau de Rochas, a French engineer, first thought to connect the County of Nice – which had only just become part of France – to Grenoble by rail, via the cities of Digne and Gap.
After the usual beaurocratic delays, the project finally received approval and the first part of the line was opened on 14 August 1891, although the completed line wasn't open for steam-driven traffic until 20 years later, in1911.

The first attempt at actually producing any sort of 2 wheeled conveyance fell on the shoulders of one Comte de Sivrac in the late 1791, though hardy a bicycle as we understand the meaning today.
Besides the need for a reliable power plant, frame geometry, (Stanley, 1886), pneumatic tires (Dunlop, 1888 and Michelin, 1895), roller chains, (Renold, 1880) were needed to be able to produce a fully functional motorcycle that could provide (relatively) reliable two wheeled transportation, be mass produced and sold to the public with some hope of success.
The problem of the power plant was solved as early as 1876 by Nikolaus Otto, who based his design of an internal combustion engine by Alphonse Beau de Rochas from 1862.

 Four-stroke cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Otto Cycle consists of Adiabatic compression,heat addition at constant volume,Adiabatic expansion and rejection of heat at constant volume.
It was conceptualized by the French engineer, Alphonse Beau de Rochas in 1862, and independently, by the German engineer Nicolaus Otto in 1876.
The four-stroke cycle is more fuel efficient and clean burning than the two-stroke cycle, but requires considerably more moving parts and manufacturing expertise.

History The first experimental internal combustion engine was made by a Dutch astronomer, Christian Huygens, who, in 1680, applied a principle advanced by Jean de Hautefeuille in 1678 for drawing water.
This principle was based on the fact that the explosion of a small amount of gunpowder in a closed chamber provided with escape valves would create a vacuum when the gases of combustion cooled.
Two years later, Alphonse Beau de Rochas enunciated the principles of the four-stroke cycle, but Nickolaus August Otto built the first successful engine (1876) operating on this principle.

 Nikolaus August Otto
In 1876 Otto built an internal-combustion engine utilizing the four-stroke cycle (four strokes of the piston for each explosion).
The four-stroke cycle was patented in 1862 by the French engineer Alphonse Beau de Rochas, but since Otto was the first to build an engine based upon this principle, it is commonly known as the Otto cycle.
More than 30,000 of them were built during the next 10 years, but in 1886 Otto's patent was revoked when Beau de Rochas' earlier patent was brought to light.

 History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
I guess that we would say that the engine of today actually dates back to Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoir and Alphonse Beau de Rochas.
This is because Nicolaus Otto, inventor of the four-stroke engine (that is used today) based his designs on those of Lenoir's and de Rochas'.
But like the internal combustion engine probably being traced back to de Rochas and Lenoir, the first real automobile, as we know them today, probably came from the German, Karl Benz in 1885/1886.

 Otto Cycle Summary - Otto Cycle Information
(Some attribute this invention to Otto’s chief engineer, Franz Rings.) The four-stroke cycle has been patented in 1862 by the French engineer Alphonse Beau de Rochas, but since Otto was the first to build a working engine on its principle, it is commonly called the Otto cycle.
Otto's patent was revoked in 1886 when Beau de Rochas’ earlier patent was brought to light.
The Otto cycle was a starting point for later developments in the internal combustion engine, such as the Stirling engine, where the mixture is burned not in the piston chamber but in a separate combustion chamber.

The next initiative was provided by the German engineer Nikolaus-August Otto (1832-1891) who patented a four-stroke engine, on which today’s car engines are based.
This patent was subsequently proved to be invalid because a Frenchman Alphonse Beau de Rochas had patented a four stroke engine some years before.
Otto ran a business making engines with his partner, a lawyer called Eugen Langen (1833-1895), but their interest was making stationary engines at their factory at Deutz in Germany.

A French engineer, Alphonse Beau de Rochas, had already established the principle of the four-cycle operation as far back as 1862.
Nikolaus Otto of Germany is popularly credited with applying de Rochas work to an automobile engine in 1876, three years after Reithmann had developed it, and after Marcus employed a four-cycle engine in his third version of an automobile.
Albeit Marcus installed and successfully ran several models of automobiles between 1864 and 1875, and is therefore the true inventor of the automobile, he never patented an automobule as such.
