Ummmmm, went to the library?

I'd also like to point out that Gottlieb Daimler is the person really associated with making the gasoline engine practical to use in carriages/vehicles. Before him the RPM's were way too slow, he developed ways to make the gas engine run at much faster speeds. But Otto was really the inventor of the internal combustion engine as we think of it today. For a long time the gas engine was referred to as the Otto engine or Otto cycle engine.
