• The origin of the internal combustion engine was in the mid of

19 century when the petroleum was discovered by Edwin L.

Drake in U.S.A
• There were much creators with their prototypes, but the most
famous were Karl Benz (Germany), Nikolas Otto (Germany)
and Jean Lenoir (Belgium)
• This invention was the foot for the industry of transport and of
the Logistic.
• It changed the way of human can move a place to another, we
can travel a long distance, send thing somewhere, go to work,
discover de space , move a heavy piece to another place.
• However it was the foot of the following inventions:
• Cars (Henry Ford)
• Plane (Hans von Ohain)
• Train (Richard Trevithick)
• Ship (Rudolf Diesel)
• Tractors (John Froelich)
• Is the most important cause in environmental pollution due to
global warming
• Produce a lot of CO2
• I came to the conclusion that it was a great invention for that
time until now but we have to stress that its use causes
environmental problems. Even if this happens, the hope remains
that the electric motor can replace it so as not to affect the
planet and continue to cover our needs.
