I wanted to see that motor in the click bait picture. 😞

The internal combustion engine was invented England in 1793 by Street, made more practical in France. Brown then used an internal combustion engine on the Croydon canal in England from 1830 and also used to drive a boat in 1827 and a cart. Lenoir developed gas internal engine in Belgium in 1860. Brayton merely commercialised it, though a certain Otto and Maybach perfected it nearly in modern form in 1876 in Germany. Quite a few inventors in the field.

Another disadvantage of the rotary engine was how much oil it required. There was a LOT of potential friction inside the engine, which means it required a constant stream of oil. Since the engine was essentially one big chamber and part of it was repeatedly exposed to combustion, the oil was constantly being burned off. This meant even more oil had to be used to prevent friction from essentially destroying the engine.

Honestly, the last two engines are just remarkable!

4:33 Christine is not a Cadillac gawd dammit! Christine was a 58 Plymouth fury...

A for effort, B for execution, F- for research on other things people have mentioned.. Off with your head!!

I had an NSU RO80 when I lived in Germany in the 70's. Unfortunately the seals in the engine were blown and I wasn't mechanic enough to fix it. Wow, what a luxurious car though. I had to sell it.

you sir deserve a thumbs down for claiming inaccurate things.

2:00 My Dad had a 1965 NSU Spider with a single rotor in the back and was rear wheel drive. There were only 15 imported to Canada. This was around 1970.

What about England’s Lanchester Ten, featuring an air-cooled, twin-crankshaft, 4.0-liter flat-twin driving the rear wheels. One crank lived above the other, and each piston had three connecting rods—two light outer ones and a heavier one in the centre. The light rods went to one crank, the heavy rods to the other, and the two shafts counterrotated. The result was 10.5 hp at 1250 rpm and a remarkable lack of vibration. If you’ve ever wondered what engineering elegance looks like, this is it. A very unusual and interesting engine and done in the early 1900s.

Running the “turbo fluid out” on the Olds Jetfire didn’t result in knock. It had a sensor that would cause the engine to go into a safe mode and bypass the turbo if the fluid ran out.

In 1823, Samuel Brown patented the first internal combustion engine to be applied industrially, one of his engines pumped water on the Croydon Canal from 1830 to 1836. He also demonstrated a boat using his engine on the Thames in 1827, and an engine driven carriage in 1828.

Belgian engineer Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir was the creator and inventor of the internal combustion engine, it is well documented. He created the first single-cylinder two-stroke engine in 1859.

3:10 can we all just appreciate that the silver 8 driver nailed his parking

[azmitenikalp]

So much ignorance, so much misinformation

[BestKiteboardingOfficial]

1859 j.j. Etienne Lenoir, French engineer, first continuous cycle ICE.

Internal Combustion Engine is an american invention lol? Solid research you put in there

[cryipticcreep]

This is the first time I've seen 2 of the engines that other channels have used for Click Bait....Thank You
.
Yet you did it to!

[SimonWallwork]

Invented by who again? Brady? Never heard of him, IC engine wasn't invented in the US.

Numerous errors, the most glaring two being: 1) Mazda did *not* develop NSU's rotary engine at all. The first patent for the rotary engine was filed in the 1920s (before Mazda had even started making cars) by Felix Wankel, who along with other engineers at NSU developed it into production in the 1950s and early '60s. NSU sold licenses to a bunch of other companies to be allowed to make the rotary engine, one of whom was Mazda (in 1961), and the two companies raced each other to be the first to put a version into production. Mazda lost when NSU built the first production rotary car, the Spider, in 1964. Though Mazda did did go on to make a more reliable version when they did get a rotary into production in 1967. 2) The internal combustion engine was well and truly already invented *before* 1872 (indeed there's patients and working internal combustion engines built in the century previous). What George Braydon did bring to the party was a way to use liquid fuel (ie rather than gas), and this what eventually allowed motors to be come mobile; so certainly a very significant contribution, but he didn't "invent the internal combustion engine" per se.
