	Nikolaus Otto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nikolaus August Otto (June 14, 1832 - January 28, 1891) was the German inventor of the internal-combustion engine.
		Otto's patent was invalidated in 1886 when it was discovered that another inventor, Alphonse Beau de Rochas, had already described the four-stroke cycle principle in a privately published pamphlet.
		The Otto engine is in many parts at least inspired from this precedent invention [1].

	Nikolaus August Otto - Wikipedia
		Nikolaus August Otto (Holzhausen 10 giugno 1832 - Colonia, 26 gennaio 1891), ingegnere tedesco, diffusore del primo motore a combustione interna a quattro tempi.
		Dopo ulteriori ricerche, nel 1876 Otto e Langen presentarono un motore a quattro tempi, noto anche come motore a ciclo Otto, che riscosse grande successo e, nella nascente industria automobilistica, divenne il modello base per la maggior parte dei motori a combustione interna moderni.
		Studi storici moderni evidenziano che Otto ha probabilmente tratto ispirazione dal motore a gas brevettato a Londra dagli italiani Eugenio Barsanti e Felice Matteucci nel 1854, a cui andrebbe quindi attribuita la priorità dell'invenzione.

		Otto was clearly fascinated with the idea of powered road transport and began to experiment with ideas to improve Lenoir's design.
		By 1884 Otto had designed an electromagnetic ignition system to replace the gas flame system and was suitable for petrol fuelled designs.
		Otto's engines were used to power road vehicles built by Gotlieb Daimler and by Karl Benz.

		Nikolaus Otto was a salesman with a grocer when he read of Lenoir's two-stroke gas-driven internal combustion engine.
		The four-stroke Otto Engine was invented in 1876, and a large number of engines were produced under the patent of Otto and Langen.
		Daimler was at the time employed with Otto and Langen, and a substantial credit for the success is due to him.

		Mercedes-Benz and Daimler, cars built by Otto’s business partners, are household names, and the factory he and Langen established is known as Deutz, the world’s largest manufacturer of air-cooled diesels - and the oldest manufacturer of internal combustion engines.
		It was a remarkable achievement, but now we know that Otto got something slightly wrong – he used a crank mechanism that was cumbersome and inefficient.

		Nikolaus Otto, a German engineer, developed the internal combustion engine concept in 1867.
		Otto utilized the ideas of Beau de Rochas (French) who in 1862 published his theory stating the conditions necessary for maximum economy for an internal combustion engine.
		Although Nikolaus Otto is credited with this important development in the internal combustion engine, many other scientists and engineers were at work developing refinements and changes to the early engine.

		Otto built his first four-stroke engine in 1861.
		Now called the 'Otto cycle' in his honor, the design called for four strokes of a piston to draw in and compress a gas-air mixture within a cylinder resulting in an internal 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.

		Idén till motorn hade framlagts av fransmannen Alphonse Beau de Rochas i ett patent 1862 och när det patentet återupptäcktes 1884 ledde detta till att Ottos patent blev ogiltigförklarat i Tyskland.
