Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoir, also known as Jean J. Lenoir (12 January 1822 – 4 August 1900 [1]), was a Belgian-French [2] engineer who invented the internal combustion engine in 1858. Prior designs for such engines were patented as early as 1807 ( De Rivaz engine ) and 1854 ( Barsanti–Matteucci engine ).
Étienne Lenoir (1744–1832) was a French scientific instrument maker and inventor of the repeating circle. [1] When hired by Jean-Charles de Borda around 1772 to work on the reflecting circle, he was about thirty years old and nearly illiterate. However, his intelligence and mechanical genius allowed him to perform work that few others could ...
Lenoir Hippomobile Lenoir gas engine, 1860. The Hippomobile is an early, three wheeled automobile invented by Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoir in France in 1863 which carried its own internal combustion engine. It was based on his 1860 invention, the Lenoir gas engine.
1860: Belgian-French [15] engineer Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir invented an atmospheric (non-compression) gas engine, using a layout similar to a horizontal double acting steam engine. [16] The design's patent was titled Moteur à air dilaté par combustion des gaz. Allegedly, in 1860, several of these engines were built and used commercially in ...
[28] [9] Etienne Lenoir's automobile with a hydrogen-gas-fueled one-cylinder internal combustion engine made a test drive from Paris to Joinville-le-Pont in 1860, covering some 9 km (5.6 mi) in about three hours. [29] A later version was propelled by coal gas. A Delamare-Deboutteville vehicle was patented and trialed in 1884.

The Lenoir cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle often used to model a pulse jet engine. It is based on the operation of an engine patented by Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir in 1860. This engine is often thought of as the first commercially produced internal combustion engine .
