In the traditional steam engine, and even in a modern steam turbine, fuel is burned outside the engine. But it is more efficient to burn fuel inside the engine and let the expanding gases produced drive a piston or turbine. The first such internal combustion engine, running on gas, was built by the German engineer Niikolaus August Otto (1832-1891). His engine, demonstrated in Paris in 1867, was large, noisy and not very efficient. But it became the forerunner of almost all today's engines. Nine years after the first gas engine Otto invented another, based on the four-stroke cycle. The crucial advance in this engine was ignition, giving not only a considerable improvement in efficiency but also a remarkable reduction in fuel consumption. It takes four strokes of the engine to include one of power, so this system is known as the four-stroke cycle. It is by far the most common type of engine in use today. Many motorcycles and few small cars use the two-stroke cycle first created by Dugald Clerk in 1880.
