Overview

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise: On Modern Gas and Oil Engines In 1838 Barnett made practical use of the principle of compression by constructing a single-acting motor cylinder, at each side of which was placed a gas and air pump. The three pistons moved simultaneously in the same directions the gas and air pumps delivered into a receiver, from which communication was made to the motor cylinder as the charge was ignited. Barnett afterwards constructed double acting engines, but with less success. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
