Beschreibung
"Internal Fire symbolizes the explosive release of a fuel's energy. The expansive force that it generates is transformed into productive work by a machine called an internal-combustion engine. Here is the story of how the engine came to be and the creative people whose lives were so entwined with the fruits of their labors. From gunpowder to diesel engines, these early powerplants are described in a down-to-earth manner as are the factors that shaped the course of their development. Interactions from other technologies, a consequence of patents, obtainable fuels, and a growing understanding of the very nature of heat itself, are all explored. Internal Fire is not intended as a textbook, but a well-researched and readable chronicle of a mechanical servant so strongly influencing life in the 20th and now the 21st century"--

Über den Autor

C. Lyle Cummins Jr. has lived with engines all his life. (His father, the late Clessie L. Cummins, founded the diesel engine company that bears his name.) A mechanical engineer, Lyle Cummins spent fifteen years on engine-related projects and was granted five U.S. patents for inventions resulting from that work. Beginning with the design, field testing and patenting and then continuing through the contractual relations with licensees, his broad experience allows him to bring a unique perspective to bear on this subject, particularly in its relationship to engine history. Prior to his research on early engines, he taught courses in mechanical design at a university school of engineering.
