Who invented the diesel engine

Just tossing this out.
Who invented the 4 stroke engine?
If it was now for this man and his invention we may not be able drive aroung in our wonderful MB's and feel so good and proud about ourselves and our cars.
This man was Nikolaus August Otto
a German inventor who,in 1876 built the first four stroke internal combustion engine.The prototype of the hundreds of millions that have been built since.
The internal combustion engine is a versatile device.It was used to power aircraft, but it most important use of the internal combustion engine is to power automobbiles.
