Not Tom Beatty

Edit I think Beatty Was the first with a flatty motor though

 

Inventor of the OTTO engine the first internal combustion engine.

 

Winner! Leroy Holmes 1953

 

Darned if I could remember his first name...

 

I thought they were the same thing? Maybe Grand Prix is more correct. That Rolling Stone hint should be all you need. VERY last hint last name uses 3 letters.

 

Check post #135

 

Lotus John, think his real name was John Morton...

 

What a shock! All these years I thought Stirling won the GP ***le several times. You are the winner of the Father & Son I was looking for when I posted the question. Alfred Moss had a Fronty parts business in the UK after his INDY run. If that was the 1920's I guess it was Great Britan then, correct?

 

Thanks, man. I've been wondering about that for 45 years! Don't know how I missed that RJ. I don't buy 'em all, but I try to at least look at them all.

 

What was the model # of the 1960 Corvair
that had the bigger engine and how many were produced?



My Mom just gave me hers.

monza- 11926

 

I'm pretty sure that the engine Otto invented was the 4 stroke engine.
AKA the Otto engine.

There have been internal combustion engines before that.

One noteble one was meant to pump water and I believe it worked on gunpowder.
It didnt use the force of the explosion, but the vacuum that was in the combustion chamber after the explosion, when everything cooled down.

( that was the theory anyway... dont know it they got it as far as a working prototype...)

 

This thread is a lot of fun, but it really needs to be better organized. Maybe make each question a separate thread?

 

Hey,
'sounds like the Hugen or Huygen's? engine in the 1600s. He didn't refine it, but others ran with the idea, later!
