Internal Combustion Engine

from A Briefer History of Everything...

The concept of the internal combustion engine can be traced back to the early 17th century, when French engineer Denis Papin developed a steam-powered vehicle that used a piston to generate movement. However, it wasn't until the late 18th and early 19th centuries that the internal combustion engine as we know it today began to take shape.
