Worlds first Otto Langen Engine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 май 2008
- This video clip demonstrates the starting process and operation of the very first Otto & Langen - Serial Number 1. This exact engine was shown at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1867 where Otto's fame and success started by winning 1st prize. Fuel is by synthetic town gas, a mixture of H2, Methane and CO. It is nothing short of amazing that it still exists and is believed to be the earliest operating internal combustion in the world. This rare moment was filmed by myself at Deutz and has been posted here with their permission.

One of the coolest engines i have ever seen.
Thank you Otto!
Grandes y antiguos motores. Me encantan.
@Ibringthetruth1 Yes, the piston is in the vertical column. The piston is attached to a rack gear, rather than a connecting rod. The rack engages the main shaft through a pinion gear that had a directional clutch. Only on the downward stroke does the rack drive the main shaft
There is an external flame outside of the "slide valve" There is pocket inside the valve that traps a fueled "ignition flame" and it moves upward where it communicates with the combustion chamber. The ignition flame is extinguished during this process and get re-lit by the external flame once the slide valve travels to it beginning location.
amazing, simply amazing
That is amazing!
Yes! Actually 10 feet beside this engine is one that Otto himself bought to study while developing the 4 cycle engine. Amazing it still exists today - not to mention that it did not get destroyed during WW II
what a awesome engine
Only in the wrong hands, this guy knows what he's doing!
Yes that is correct, however the rack engages the flywheel shaft on the downward stroke ( powered by the vacuum in the cylinder after the exploded gases cool) . On the upward stroke a clutch in the pinion gear spins freely
amazing what the human mind has developed over the years
Ah right, thanks very much.
How is that it provides the ignition in the combustion chamber?
@steamwally There are about 33 of these some made by Otto or Deutz, Crossley and Langen & World. Only two are in private hands and many of the ones owned by institutions are in storage
There's about 14 of these arn't there?
The earliest operating internal combustion in the world was invented and patented in 1806, in France by Niepce brothers. More info about the Pyreolophore on Niepce web site or youtube.
@wgrenning There were about 5000 engines .

Is it a rack and pinion driven engine rather than using a crank? The piston fires it up and engages the cog which then spins the flywheel?
@tractorboy8420 Correct, This would power small equipment like a pump or small machine shop tools
There are no Lenoir engines around anymore?
Wow, MashaAllah what a history making mechanism it was, very nice
how does it work?
WOWZA
what year is this motor
it's sort of a 3-stroke engine then...
1867
Not have the electric part?
Spark or any electric system?
Electricity had not been discovered at this time.
@@brucerogermorgan2388 bien sûr que si ! Et depuis bien longtemps d'ailleurs Lenoir son moteur avait 2 bougies
Ignition was by Hot Tube or exposed flame, common at this time up until the very late 1890's, when the first spark ignition was invented.
@@micheldilly8531 Sorry, but I have only a very small understanding of French - high school French only about 60 years ago!
@@brucerogermorgan2388 ce q
UE vous dites est faux AVANT 1890 l'allumage électrique par étincelles existe déjà. (traduction).
I just thought of a new form of capital punishment...
As reliable as sunshine, but not very efficient. This 6-foot-tall engine produces about 1/4hp.
What was it's purpose? or was there one?
Its where your car came from.
Proof of concept maybe?
Apparently running on compressed air. No smoke and running indoors.
Nope. It is combustion. Read the description of the gas mixture. There will be no smoke.
Volkswagen 2.0 GTI..dd
soooo many places to lose a finger
