A gas engine is an internal combustion engine which runs on a gas fuel, such as coal gas, producer gas, biogas, landfill gas or natural gas. In the UK, the term is unambiguous. In the US, due to the widespread use of "gas" as an abbreviation for gasoline, such an engine might also be called a gaseous-fueled engine or natural gas engine or spark ignited.
Generally the term gas engine refers to a heavy-duty industrial engine capable of running continuously at full load for periods approaching a high fraction of 8,760 hours per year. Unlike a gasoline automobile engine, which is lightweight, high-revving and typically runs for no more than 4,000 hours in its entire life. Typical power ranges from 10 kW (13 hp) to 4,000 kW (5,364 hp).
There were many experiments with gas engines in the 19th century but the first practical gas fuelled internal combustion engine was built by the Belgian engineer Étienne Lenoir in 1860. However, the Lenoir engine suffered from a low power output and high fuel consumption.
An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy.Heat engines, including internal combustion engines and external combustion engines (such as steam engines), burn a fuel to create heat, which then creates a force. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion; pneumatic motors use compressed air and others—such as clockwork motors in wind-up toys—use elastic energy. In biological systems, molecular motors, like myosins in muscles, use chemical energy to create forces and eventually motion.
The word "engine" derives from Old French engin, from the Latin ingenium–the root of the word ingenious. Pre-industrial weapons of war, such as catapults, trebuchets and battering rams, were called "siege engines", and knowledge of how to construct them was often treated as a military secret. The word "gin", as in "cotton gin", is short for "engine". Most mechanical devices invented during the industrial revolution were described as engines—the steam engine being a notable example.
This film illustrates the combustion principle of the new MAN Otto gas engine 20V35/44G. This 10 MW engine is particularly suited for stationary power generation. Its high efficiency and low CO2 and other emissions ensure a safe and sustainable supply with electrical energy Deutsch/German Der Film veranschaulicht das Verbrennungsprinzip des neuen MAN Otto-Gasmotors 20V35/44G. Dieser Motor im Leistungsbereich von 10 Megawatt kommt insbesondere für die stationäre Energieerzeugung in Kraftwerken zum Einsatz. Ein hoher Wirkungsgrad sowie geringe CO2- und Schadstoffemissionen prädestinieren diese neue Motorengeneration für die weltweite Sicherstellung einer stabilen Energieversorgung.
1904 Corliss gas engine runs for the first time. This engine has a fascinating story. It was set up to crush tin ore in NW Alaska on Cape Mountain when lode tin was found in the ground in 1901. While being installed, placer tin (loose ore found in the streams) was discovered in the same area. Mining ore out of the streams being much easier, this engine and stamp mill were abandoned and the engine was never run. I discovered this when I disassembled the engine. So here you go, after sitting in the elements for 110 years, this engine finally gets its chance to run! This engine I believe is 50 hp. 14" bore x 18" stroke.

Capable of producing up to 10 MW, the G20CM34 it is the largest natural gas fired medium-speed reciprocating engine generator set available from Caterpillar. The G20CM34 uses a robust engine design based on the proven GCM34 family, currently in production with 12 and 16 cylinder models
Purchase This Engine at http://www.ministeam.com The engine is easy to start thanks to the piezo high voltage ignition system, two "ignition jets" and a large brass flywheel. Once running the engine produces the typical V-engine exhaust sound. The two cylinder motion sequence is especially accentuated due to the open construction design. The counter-rotating parts - pistons, crosshead and push rods - result in an intriguing mechanical interplay. Through the use of Propane/Butane or Butane (lighter gas) as a fuel, only non toxic fumes are released and therefore this is an ideal "indoor engine". This model motor is made of aluminum, brass and stainless steel. The engine runs on a 80% Butane 20% Propane mixture that can easily be purchased at a camping outdoors shop. This mixture allows t...
