| Diesel engine A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that operates using the diesel cycle (named after Dr. Rudolph Diesel). Diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency of any internal or external combustion engine, because of their compression ratio.The defining feature of the diesel engine is the use of the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel, which is injected into the combustion chamber during the final stage of compression.

| Radial engine The radial engine is a reciprocating type internal combustion engine configuration in which the cylinders point outward from a central crankshaft like the spokes on a wheel. This configuration was very commonly used in large aircraft engines before most large aircraft started using turbine engines. Smaller aircraft have almost always used inline or opposed type engines.

| Bulldozer bulldozer is a crawler (caterpillar tracked tractor), equipped with a substantial metal plate (known as a blade), used to push large quantities of soil, sand, rubble, etc., during construction work. The term "bulldozer" is often used to mean any heavy engineering vehicle (sometimes a loader and sometimes an excavator), but precisely, the term refers only to a tractor (usually tracked) fitted with a dozer blade. That is the meaning used here. Bulldozer

| Harry Ricardo Sir Harry Ricardo (26 January 1885 – 18 May 1974) was one of the foremost engine designers and researchers in the early years of the development of the internal combustion engine.He improved on the engines that were used in the first tanks, oversaw the research into the physics of internal combustion that led to the use of octane ratings, was instrumental in development of the sleeve valve engine design, and invented the Diesel pre-combustion chamber that made high-speed diesel engines possible.

| Stationary engine A stationary engine is an engine whose framework does not move. It is normally used not to propel a vehicle but to drive a piece of immobile equipment such as a pump or power tool. They may be powered by steam; or oil-burning or internal combustion engines. textile mills, driving pit head winding gear, electricity generation, and powering agricultural equipment.

| U engine U engine is a piston engine made up of two separate straight engines (complete with separate crankshafts) joined by gears or chains. It is similar to the H engine which couples two flat engines. The design is also sometimes described as a "twin bank" or "double bank" engine, although these terms are sometimes used also to describe V engines.This configuration is uncommon as it is heavier than a V design.

| John K. Stewart John K. Stewart (1870, New Hampshire, USA - 1916) was an entrepreneur and inventor. He was most notably known for starting the Stewart-Warner Corporation. In his lifetime he founded or purchased several companies and held 82 patents. Married to Julia Pearl Butler in 1896, the couple had three daughters, Dorthy (1899-1901), Marian (1902-1988) and Jeanne (1911-1921).In what became training for their futures in manufacturing, Stewart and Thomas J.
