Synopsis

Master the gas engine with a practical, engineer‑focused guide

This thorough handbook helps engine builders, engineers, and students understand internal combustion engines through clear explanations, diagrams, and tables. It presents methods, types, and working principles in a way you can apply to real designs and shop work.

This edition compiles practical knowledge from the field, translated from German, and updated with useful tables and material. It covers how to assess output, main dimensions, inertia effects, and the forces acting on moving parts, with emphasis on safe, reliable, and efficient engine design and operation.
What you’ll experience
  • Step‑by‑step methods for four‑ and multi‑cylinder gas engines, including performance calculations and diagram reading
  • Practical guidance on flywheels, bearings, piston rings, lubrication, and joints, grounded in real‑world engineering
  • Worked examples and tables to help size components, estimate outputs, and compare gas and steam engine performance
  • A structured reference spanning theory, measurement, and application for builders, engineers, and students
