About Gottlieb Daimler
- Gottlieb Wilhelm Daimler (German: ['g?tli?p 'da?ml?]; 17 March 1834 – 6 March 1900) was an engineer, industrial designer and industrialist born in Schorndorf (Kingdom of Württemberg, a federal state of the German Confederation), in what is now Germany.
- He was a pioneer of internal-combustion engines and automobile development.
- He invented the high-speed liquid petroleum-fuelled engine. Daimler and his lifelong business partner Wilhelm Maybach were two inventors whose goal was to create small, high-speed engines to be mounted in any kind of locomotion device.
- In 1883 they designed a horizontal cylinder layout compressed charge liquid petroleum engine that fulfilled Daimler's desire for a high speed engine which could be throttled, making it useful in transportation applications.
- This engine was called Daimler's Dream.In 1885 they designed a vertical cylinder version of this engine which they subsequently fitted to a two-wheeler, the first internal combustion motorcycle which was named the Petroleum Reitwagen (Riding Car) and, in the next year, to a coach, and a boat.
- Daimler called this engine the grandfather clock engine (Standuhr) because of its resemblance to a large pendulum clock. In 1890, they converted their partnership into a stock company Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG, in English—Daimler Motors Corporation).
- They sold their first automobile in 1892.
- Daimler fell ill and took a break from the business.
- Upon his return he experienced difficulty with the other stockholders that led to his resignation in 1893.
- This was reversed in 1894.
- Maybach resigned at the same time, and also returned.
- In 1900 Daimler died and Wilhelm Maybach quit DMG in 1907.
