History
The concept of this engine was established by Herbert Akroyd Stuart at the end of the 19th century. The first prototypes were built in 1886 and production started in 1891 by Richard Hornsby & Sons of Grantham, Lincolnshire, England under the title Hornsby Akroyd Patent Oil Engine under licence.. It was later developed in the USA by the German emigrants Mietz and Weiss by combining it with the two-stroke engine developed by Joseph Day. Similar engines, for agricultural and marine use, were built by Bolinder and Pythagoras engine factory in Sweden. Bolinder is now part of the Volvo group.
A Hornsby-Akroyd hot bulb engines, built to the original horizontal cylinder, four-stroke design. This particular engine has been adapted to run on lamp oil.
Akroyd-Stuart’s heavy oil engine (compared to spark-ignition) is distinctly different from Rudolf Diesel’s better-known engine where ignition is initiated through the heat of compression. An oil engine will have a compression ratio of about 3:1, where a typical Diesel engine will have a compression ratio ranging between 15:1 and 20:1. Furthermore fuel is injected during the intake stroke and not at the end of the compression stroke as in a diesel.
Operation and working cycle
The hot-bulb engine shares its basic layout with nearly all other internal combustion engines, in that it has a piston inside a cylinder connected to a flywheel via a connecting rod and crankshaft. Akroyd-Stuart’s original engine operated on the four-stroke cycle (Induction, Compression, Power, Exhaust) and Hornsby continued to build engines to this design, as did several other British manufacturers such as Blackstone and Crossley. Manufacturers in Europe, Scandinavia and in the USA built engines working on the two- stroke cycle with crankcase scavenging. The latter type formed the majority of hot-bulb engine production. The flow of gases through the engine is controlled by valves in four-stroke engines, and by the piston covering and uncovering ports in the cylinder wall in two-strokes.
The type of blow-lamp used to start the Hot Bulb engine.
Blow-lamp being used to heat the Hot Bulb of a Lanz Bulldog tractor.
In the hot-bulb engine combustion took place in a separated combustion chamber, the “vaporizer” (also called the “hot bulb”), usually mounted on the cylinder head, into which fuel was sprayed. It was connected to the cylinder by a narrow passage and was heated by the combustion while running; an external flame such as a blow-lamp or slow-burning wick was used for starting (on later models sometimes electric heating or pyrotechnics was used). Another method was the inclusion of a spark plug and vibrator coil ignition.[citation needed]The engine could be started on petrol and switched over to oil after it had warmed to running temperature.
The pre-heating time depended on the engine design, the type of heating used and the ambient temperature, but generally ranged from 25 minutes for most engines in a temperate climate, to as much as half an hour if operating in extreme cold or the engine was especially large. The engine was then turned over, usually by hand but sometimes by compressed air or an electric motor.
Once the engine is running, the heat of compression and ignition maintains the hot-bulb at the necessary temperature and the blow-lamp or other heat source can be turned off. From this point the engine requires no external heat and requires only a supply of air, fuel oil and lubricating oil to run. However, under low power the bulb would cool off too much, and a throttle could cut down the cold fresh air supply. Also, as the engine’s load increased, so did the temperature of the bulb, causing the ignition period to advance; to counteract pre-ignition, water was dripped into the air intake.
The fact that the engine could be left unattended for long periods while running made hot bulb engines a popular choice for applications requiring a steady power output such as farm tractors, generators, pumps and canal boat propulsion.
Four-stroke engines
Air is drawn into the cylinder through the intake valve as the piston descends (the induction stroke). During the same stroke, fuel is sprayed into the vaporizer by a mechanical (jerk-type) fuel pump through a nozzle. The air in the cylinder is then forced through the top of the cylinder as the piston rises (the compression stroke), through the opening into the vaporizer, where it is compressed and its temperature rises. The vaporized fuel mixes with the compressed air and ignites primarily due to the heat of the hot bulb generated while running, or heat applied to the hot-bulb prior to starting. By contracting the bulb to a very narrow neck where it attached to the cylinder, a high degree of turbulence is set up as the ignited gases flash through the neck into the cylinder, where combustion is completed. The resulting pressure drives the piston down (the power stroke). The piston’s action is converted to a rotary motion by the crankshaft-flywheel assembly, to which equipment can be attached for work to be performed. The flywheel stores momentum, some of which is used to turn the engine when power is not being produced. The cycle then starts again.
Two-stroke engines
The cycle starts with the piston at the bottom of its stroke. As it rises, it draws air into the crankcase through the Inlet Port. At the same time fuel is sprayed into the vapouriser. The charge of air on top of the piston is compressed into the vapouriser where it is mixed with the atomised fuel and ignites. The piston is driven down the cylinder. As it descends the piston first uncovers the Exhaust Port. The pressurised exhaust gases flow out of the cylinder. A fraction after the Exhaust Port is uncovered, the descending piston uncovers the Transfer Port. The piston is now pressurising the air in the crankcase, which is forced through the Transfer Port and into the space above the piston. Part of the incoming air charge is lost out the still-open Exhaust Port to ensure all the exhaust gases are cleared from the cylinder (a process known as ’scavenging’). The piston then reaches the bottom of its stroke and begins to rise again, drawing a fresh charge of air into the crankcase and completing the cycle. Induction and Compression are carried out on the upward stroke and Power and Exhaust on the downward stroke.
A supply of lubricating oil must be fed to the crankcase to supply the crankshaft bearings. Since the crankcase is also used to supply air to the engine, the engine’s lubricating oil is carried into the cylinder with the air charge, burnt during combustion and carried out the exhaust. The oil carried from the crankcase to the cylinder is used to lubricate the piston. This means that a 2-stroke hot-bulb engine will gradually burn its supply of lubricating oil- a design known as a ‘total loss’ lubricating system although there were designs that employed a scavenge pump or some variation to remove oil from the crankcase and return it to the lubricating oil reservoir. Lanz hot-bulb tractors and their many imitators had this feature. This reduced oil consumption considerably.
In addition, if excess crankcase oil was present on start up, there was a danger of the engine starting and accelerating uncontrollably to well past the RPM limits of the rotating and reciprocating components. This could result in destruction of the engine. There was normally a bung or stopcock that allowed draining of the crankcase before starting.
Advantages
At the time the hot-bulb engine was invented, its great attractions were its economy, simplicity, and ease of operation in comparison to the steam engine, then the dominant source of power in industry. Steam engines achieved an average thermal efficiency (the percent of heat generated that is actually turned into useful work) of around 6%. Hot-bulb engines could easily achieve 12% thermal efficiency. During the period covering the 1910s1950s, hot-bulb engines were more economical to manufacture with its low pressure crude fuel injection and lower compression ratio than diesel engines .
The hot-bulb engine is much simpler to construct and operate than the steam engine. Boilers require at least one person to add water and fuel as needed and monitor pressure to prevent overpressure and a resulting explosion. If fitted with automatic lubrication systems and a governor to control engine speed , a hot-bulb engine could be left running, unattended for hours at a time.
Another attraction was their safety. A steam engine, with its exposed fire and hot boiler, steam pipes and working cylinder could not be used in flammable conditions such as munitions factories or fuel refineries. Hot-bulb engines also produced cleaner exhaust fumes. A big danger with the steam engine was that if the boiler pressure grew too high and the safety valve failed, a highly dangerous explosion could occur (although this was a relatively rare occurrence by the time the hot-bulb engine was invented). A more common problem was that if the water level in the boiler of a steam engine dropped too low the lead plug in the crown of the furnace would melt, extinguishing the fire. If a hot bulb engine ran out of fuel, it would simply stop and could be immediately restarted with more fuel. The cooling water was usually a closed circuit, so no water loss would occur unless there was a leak. If the cooling water ran low, the engine would seize through overheating- a major problem, but it carried no danger of explosion.
Compared to both steam , gasoline (petrol) and diesel engines, hot-bulb engines are simpler and therefore have less potential problems. There is no electrical system as found on a petrol engine, and no external boiler and steam system as on a steam engine.
A big attraction with the hot-bulb engine was its ability to run on a wide range of fuels. Even poor-burning fuels could be used since a combination of vaporiser- and compression-ignition meant that such fuels could be made to combust. The usual fuel used was fuel oil, similar to modern-day diesel, but natural gas, kerosene, paraffin, crude oil, vegetable oil or creosote could also be used. This made the hot-bulb engine very cheap to run, since it could be run on cheaply available fuels. Some operators even ran engines on used engine oil, thus providing almost free power. Recently, this multi-fuel ability has led to an interest in using hot bulb engines in developing nations where they can be run on locally produced biofuel.
Due to the lengthy pre-heating time, hot-bulb engines were nearly always guaranteed to start quickly, even in extremely cold conditions. This made them popular choices in cold regions such as Canada and Scandinavia, where steam engines were not viable and early gasoline and diesel engines could not be relied on to operate.
Uses
1939 Lanz Bulldog, a tractor built around a hot bulb engine.
The reliability of the hot-bulb engine, their ability to run on many fuels and the fact that they can be left running for hours or days at a time made them extremely popular with agricultural, forestry and marine users, where they were used for pumping and for powering milling, sawing and threshing machinery. Hot-bulb engines were also used on road rollers and tractors.
J.V. Svensons Motorfabrik, i Augustendal in Stockholm Sweden used hot bulb engines in their Typ 1 motor plough, produced from 1912 to 1925. Munktells Mekaniska Verkstads AB, in Eskilstuna, Sweden, produced agricultural tractors with hot bulb engines from 1913 onwards. Heinrich Lanz Mannheim AG, in Mannheim, Germany, started to use hot bulb engines in 1921, in the Lanz Bulldog HL. Other well known tractor manufacturers that used bulb engines were Bubba, Gambino, Landini and Orsi in Italy, HSCS in Hungary, SFV in France Ursus in Poland, and Marshall in England.

The ‘hot bulb’ is immediately above the front axle, mounted on the front of the cylinder block.
At the start of the 20th century there were several hundreds of European manufacturers of hot bulb engines for marine use. In Sweden alone there were over 70 manufacturers, of which Bolinder is the best known (in the 1920s they had about 80% of the world market). The Norwegian SABB was a very popular hot bulb engine for small fishing boats and many of them are still in working order. In America Standard, Weber, Reid, Stickney, Oil City, and Fairbanks Morse built hotbulb engines.
A vertical twin-cylinder hot bulb engine, developing 70 horsepower. This engine has a top speed of 325 RPM.
A limitation of the design of the engine was that it could only run over quite a narrow (and slow) speed band, typically 50-300 R.P.M.. This made the hot-bulb engine difficult to adapt to automotive uses other than vehicles such as tractors, where speed was not a major requirement. This limitation was of little consequence for stationary applications, where the hot-bulb engine was very popular.
Owing to the lengthy pre-heating time, hot-bulb engines only found favour with users who needed to run engines for long periods of time, where the pre-heating process only represented a small percentage of the overall running period. This included marine use (especially in fishing boats) and pumping/drainage duties.
The hot-bulb engine was invented at the same time that dynamos and electric light systems were perfected, and electricity generation was one of the hot-bulb engines main uses. The engine could achieve higher R.P.M. than a standard reciprocating steam engine (although high-speed steam engines were developed during the 1890s), and its low fuel and maintenance requirements (including the ability to be operated and maintained by only one person) made it ideal for small-scale power supply. Generator sets driven by hot-bulb engines were installed in numerous large houses (especially in rural areas) in Europe, as well as in factories, theatres, lighthouses, radio stations and many other locations where a centralised electricity grid was not available. Usually the dynamo or alternator would be driven off the engine’s flywheel by a flat belt, to allow the necessary ‘gearing up’- making the generator turn at a faster speed than the engine. Companies such as Armstrong Whitworth and Boulton Paul manufactured and supplied complete generating sets (both the engine and generator) from the 1900s to the late 1920s, when the formation of national grid systems throughout the world and the replacement of the hot-bulb engine by the diesel engine caused a drop in demand.
The engines were also used in areas where the fire of a steam engine would be an unacceptable fire risk. Akroyd-Stuart developed the world’s first oil-engined locomotive (the ‘Lachesis’) for the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, where the use of locomotives had previously been impossible due to the risk. Hot-bulb engines proved very popular for industrial engines in the early 20th century, but lacked the power to be used in anything larger.
Compression ignition
Herbert Akroyd Stuart was always keen to improve the efficiency of his engine. The obvious way to do this was to raise the compression ratio to increase the engine’s thermal efficiency. However, above ratios of around 8:1 the fuel oil in the vapouriser would ignite before the piston reached the limit of its travel. This pre-detonation caused rough running, power loss and ultimately engine damage (see engine knocking for more information). Working with engineers at Hornsby’s, Akroyd Stuart developed a system whereby the compression ratio was increased to as much as 18:1 and fuel oil was delivered to the cylinder only when the piston reached top dead centre, thus preventing pre-ignition.[citation needed]
This system was patented in October 1890 and development continued. In 1892 (5 years before Rudolf Diesel’s first prototype), engineers at Hornsby’s built an experimental engine. The vapouriser was replaced with a standard cylinder head and used a high-pressure fuel nozzle system. The engine could be started from cold and ran for 6 hours, making it the world’s first internal combustion engine to run on purely compression ignition. However, to build a fully practical fuel injection system required using machining techniques and building to tolerances that were not possible to mass produce at the time. Hornsby’s was also working at full capacity building and selling hot-bulb engines, so these developments were not pursued.[citation needed]
Replacement
From around 1910, the diesel engine was improved dramatically, with more power being available at greater efficiencies than the hot-bulb engine could manage (Diesel engines can achieve over 50% efficiency if designed with maximum economy in mind). Diesel engines offered greater power for a given engine size due to the more efficient combustion method (they had no hot-bulb, relying purely on compression-ignition) and greater ease of use as they required no pre-heating.
The hot-bulb engine was limited in its scope in terms of speed and overall power-to-size ratio. To make a hot-bulb engine capable of powering a ship or locomotive, it would have been prohibitively large and heavy. The hot-bulb engines used in Landini tractors were as much as 20 litres in capacity for relatively low power outputs. To create even combustion throughout the multiple hot-bulbs in multi-cylinder engines is difficult. The hot-bulb engine’s low compression ratio in comparison to diesel engines limited its efficiency, power output and speed. Most hot-bulb engines could run at a maximum speed of around 100 rpm, while by the 1930s diesel engines capable of 2,000 rpm were being built. Also, due to the design of hot bulb and the limitations of current technology in regards to the injector system, most hot-bulb engines were single-speed engines, running at a fixed speed, or in a very narrow speed range. Diesel engines can be designed to operate over a much wider speed range, making them more versatile. This made these medium-sized diesels a very popular choice for use in generator sets, replacing the hot-bulb engine as the engine of choice for small-scale power generation.
The development of small-capacity, high-speed diesel engines in the 1930s and 1940s, lead to hot-bulb engines falling dramatically out of favour. The last large-scale manufacturer of hot-bulb engines stopped producing them in the 1950s and they are now virtually extinct in commercial use, except in very remote areas of the developing world. An exception to this is marine use; hot-bulb engines were widely fitted to inland barges and narrowboats in Europe. The United Kingdom’s first two self-powered “motor” narrowboatsadbury’s Bournville I and Bournville II in 1911ere powered by 15 horsepower Bolinder single-cylinder hot-bulb engines, and this type became common between the 1920s and the 1950s. With hot-bulb engines being generally long-lived and ideally suited to such a use, it is not uncommon to find vessels still fitted with their original hot-bulb engines today.
Although many people believe that model glow engines are a variation of the hot-bulb engine, this is not the case. Model glow engines are catalytic ignition engines. They take advantage of a reaction between platinum in the glow plug coil and methyl alcohol vapour whereby at certain temperatures and pressures platinum will glow in contact with the vapour.
Hot bulb pseudo diesel development
1890s1910
The hot-bulb engine is often confused with the diesel engine , and it is true that the two engines are very similar. A hot-bulb engine features a prominent hot-bulb vaporiser; a Diesel engine does not. Other significant differences are:
The hot-bulb engine mostly reuses the heat retained in the vaporiser to ignite the fuel with, achieving about 12% efficiency..
The Diesel engine uses only compression to ignite the fuel. It operates at pressures many times higher than the hot-bulb engine, resulting in over 50% efficiency with large diesels.
The hot bulb engine required preheating of the hot bulb with a torch for about 15 minutes before starting.
There is also a crucial difference in the timing of the fuel injection process:
In the hot-bulb engine, before 1910 fuel was injected earlier into the vapouriser (during the intake stroke). This caused the start of combustion to be out of synchronization with the crank angle, meaning that the engine would only run smoothly at one low-speed or load. If the engine’s load increased, so would the temperature of the bulb, causing the ignition period to advance, causing pre-ignition. To counteract pre-ignition, water would be dripped into the air intake, providing some flexibility.
In the diesel engine, fuel is injected into the cylinder, with an adjusted timing relative to the engine speed and load, shortly before the top dead center of the Compression Stroke is reached.
There is another, detailed difference in the method of fuel injection:
The hot-bulb engine uses a medium-pressure pump to deliver fuel to the cylinder, through a simple nozzle.
In the original Diesel engine, fuel was sprayed into the cylinder by high pressure compressed air, through an injector. The camshaft lifted a spring-loaded pin to initiate fuel delivery though the nozzle.
During this period technology had not advanced to the point that oil engines could run faster than 150 rpm. The structure of these engines were basically the same as steam engines and without pressured lubrication. In hot-bulb engines, fuel is injected at low pressure, using a more economical and more reliable, and simpler configuration. However, by not using compressed air injection it is less efficient. In this period diesel and hot bulb engines were four stroke. In 1902 F. Rundlof invented the two-stroke crankcase scavenged engine that went on to become the prevalent hot bulb type engine.
19101950s
Direct injected small diesel engines still were not practical. and the prechambered indirect injected engine was invented, along with the requirement of glowplugs to be used for starting. With technology developed by Robert Bosch GmbH pump and injector systems could be built to run at a much higher pressure. Combined with high precision injectors, high speed diesels were produced from 1927.
The hot bulbs started to develop cracks and breakups and were gradually replaced by water cooled cylinder heads with a flat hot spot. Over time the compression ratios were increased from 13 to 114.Fuel injection started from 135 degrees before top dead center , with low compression to 20 degrees before top dead center with later higher compression engines increasing the hot air factor for ignition and increasing the fuel efficiency. Glowplugs finally replaced the preheating with a blowtorch methods and engine speeds were increased, resulting in what is now classified as an indirect injection diesel . Hot bulb or prechambered engines are always easier to produce. , more reliable and could handle smaller amounts of fuel in smaller engines, than the direct injected “pure” diesels could.
Production
A Drott hot bulb engine, manufactured at the Pythagoras Mechanical Workshop Museum in Norrtlje, Sweden, after original drawings from the Pythagoras Engine Factory
Hot bulb engines were built by a large number of manufacturers, usually in modest series.These engines were slow running (300-400 RPM) and mostly with cast iron parts including pistons. The fuel pump was usually made with a brass housing and steel plunger operating with a variable stroke length. This resulted in a simple, rugged heavy engine. Therefore they could be machined in an average machine shop without special tools.
The Pythagoras Engine Factory in Norrtlje in Sweden is kept as a museum (the Pythagoras Mechanical Workshop Museum), and has a functioning production line and extensive factory archives.

Without getting overmuch into music theory, in whole guitar scales are useful for two reasons:
1. Scales are a collection of notes that when taken collectively help form a certain feeling, mood, or texture. For instance, if you want to write a sad song, you wouldn’t take chords from the major scale, you’d take them from the minor scale. That’s one of the largest benefits of grasping the concepts of scales (and in music theory in general), it helps give you a direction to start out from if you wish to create a particular mood or feeling.
