Read the text and decide if the statements are true or falseNicolaus OttoOne of the most important landmarks in engine design
comes from Nicolaus Otto who in 1876 invented an effective gas motor engine. Nicolaus Otto was born on June 14, 1832 in
Holzhausen, Germany. Otto's first occupation was as a
travelling salesman selling tea, coffee, and sugar. He soon
developed an interest in the new technologies of the day and began experimenting with building four-stroke engines. After meeting Eugen Langen, a technician and owner of a sugar factory,
Otto quit his job, and in 1864, they started the world's first engine manufacturing company. In 1867, the pair was awarded a Gold Medal at the Paris
World Exhibition for their atmospheric gas engine built a year earlier. In May 1876, Otto built the first four-stroke piston cycle internal combustion engine. This was the first practical alternative to the steam engine.
In the next ten years, over 30,000 of the engine were sold. This engine was
the prototype of the combustion engines that have since been built. The engine was named the “Otto cycle” in his honor. The engine's design consists
of four strokes of a piston which draws in and compresses a gas-air mixture
within a cylinder. This process results in an internal explosion. Gottlieb Daimler constructed a very light engine, using Otto's model and
attached one of them to a bicycle. This became the world's first motorcycle.
Karl Benz built his first three-wheel automobile employing Otto's engine.
Daimler also constructed an automobile, using Otto's engine. Otto's practical internal combustion engine is used to power automobiles, motorcycles and motorboats.Are the statements true or false?1. Nicolaus Otto invented the first effective gas motor engine in 1876.
