As for what it is good for, there is hardly a simple human endeavor that can not benefit from the power of a Gas Engine. Along with the Steam Engine, the Gas Engine hoisted, pumped, pushed and powered man into the Industrial Age. One Cylinder Engines powered the first automobiles, the first airplanes, the first street lights, the first non steam farm tractors and liberated millions from back breaking manual labor.From fractional horse power beginnings in the 1880's, to the diesel behemoths of the 30's and the ceramic blocked multi-valve cam techno wonders of today, the Gas Engine remains one of mans most useful tools and significant developments.
