How an Engine Works

American inventor Samuel Morey patented his new engine. The combustion of a fuel took place inside of the working space of the machine. Several other people attempted the same thing before and after Morey. Moray’s engine was, however, very similar to modern ones. It had two cylinders and a carburetor (also Moray’s invention).
