About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1908. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... PART TENTH. INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES. GENERAL PRINCIPLES. "Internal combustion engines" is the general name for the Gas Engine, the Gasoline Engine, the Oil Engine, the Alcohol Engine and others. As you can understand from the name, they use either gas, gasoline, coal oil or alcohol for fuel. Why are they called internal combustion engines? Well, the reason is that they burn their fuel inside their cylinders. We have seen, in the first pages of this book, that ihe steam engine has to be supplied with steam, that the steam has to be generated from water, and that we have to burn fuel under or inside the boiler to make the steam. We say that all engines which use fuel in this way belong to the steam engine class. In a similar manner we say that all machines burning their fuel direct in their cylinders belong to the "internal combustion engine" class. Now, it is easy to see that different principles must be considered when dealing with the one class than with the other. We are going to tell you how to run a gas engine and a gasoline engine, but before we do that we must tell you something about the principles which makes it possible for this class of engines to run. Not because this knowledge will make you run your engine better, but because, if for any reason your engine will not run, you must be able to make it run. In order to do this you must know these things, and then you must use your brains. There is no fire-door on this class of engines and no steam-gauge, so you cannot open the one or look at the other for information. When your engine don't behave right you must be able to reason out what can be the trouble from your knowledge of what ought to take place. Every year you will meet with more and more gas and gasoline engines, and therefore I want to try...
