Nikolaus Otto

Four-stroke motorcycle engines One of the most important landmarks in engine design comes from Nicolaus Otto who in 1876 created an effective gas motor engine. Nikolaus Otto built the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine called the "Otto Cycle Engine," and when he finished his engine, he built it into a motorcycle.

Nikolaus Otto was born on June 14, 1832 in Holzhausen, Germany. Otto's first job was as an itinerant merchant who sells tea, coffee, and sugar. He soon developed an interest in new technology today and start experimenting with building a four-stroke engine (inspired by Lenoir two-stroke gas-powered internal combustion engines). Having met Eugen Langen, a technician and owner of sugar mills, Otto quits his job, and in 1864, the duo began the world's first engine manufacturing company NA Otto & Cie. (now DEUTZ AG, Cologne). In 1867, the couple is given a Gold Medal at the Paris World Exhibition for atmospheric gas engine that was built a year earlier.

In May 1876, Nikolaus Otto built the first practical four-stroke piston cycle internal combustion engine. He continued to develop a four-stroke engines after 1876 and he considered his work completed after the discovery of the first magneto ignition system for low voltage ignition in 1884.

Otto's patent (see picture below) is inverted in 1886 to support a patent granted to Alphonse Beau de Roaches for four-stroke engines. However, Otto built a working engine, while the Roaches' design on paper. On October 23, 1877, another patent for the gas motor engine issued to Nicolaus Otto, and Francis and William Crossley.

Nikolaus Otto
Nikolaus Otto invented the gas motor. An engineer and experiments, Nikolaus Otto discovered the first practical alternative to the steam engine in 1876 - the first four-stroke internal combustion engine. He called it the "Otto Cycle Engine," and soon after he finished his engine, he built it into a motorcycle.

First atmospheric engine was completed in May 1867. 5 years later he was followed by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, and together they created the idea of four-stroke cycle or Otto cycle.

First created in 1876, did not it is a movement up or down on the piston cylinder. Otto made no valid patent in 1886 when it was discovered that another inventor, Alphonse Beau de Rochas, had made the principle of rotation 4 is not on the leaflet which was published alone. According to recent historical studies, the Italian inventors Eugenio Barsanti and Felice Matteucci patented the first version of the efficient work of the internal combustion engine in London in 1854 (patent number 1072). Otto engine in many ways the least inspired of the discovery

Nikolaus Otto died at age 59, on January 26, 1891, in Cologne.

RC110 Suzuki

RC110 Suzuki (Suzuki Crystal)

Suzuki RC110 RC Suzuki is the third generation in Indonesia (after the RC 80 and RC100). Beginning with the launch of Suzuki Crystal in 1990, retaining the base engine Suzuki RC JetCooled known resilient and responsive.

Suzuki Crystal has several color choices in the early days of its release (1990), such as: black, white and white black and green. The model of a futuristic impression of ancient compared to previous generations of RC (RC 100). In addition to adding capacity engines (109CC), striking changes contained in this Crystal Suzuki Suzuki when compared with RC100 and RC 80 are: the Framework of new type, foot passengers are independent (apart from the swing arm) and the cover model of the modern body. Beginning in 1992, Suzuki Crystal have additional new varieties, namely Suzuki Crystal Tune. Suzuki Tune Crystal has some differences when compared with the standard version of the Suzuki Crystal, among others: available colors (red, green, black), cover the sports version of the chain, the color on the speedometer, exhaust version of the sport (underneath), step bars, spuyer, and engine block.
Similarities with the previous model (RC100) is: drum brake system on both wheels and the base engine.

Crystal standard Suzuki engine with a capacity of 109cc and capable of producing 12 PS at 8500 RPM (12.5 PS for Crystal Tune). Engine cooling systems still rely on forced air-cooled (JetCooled-in cooling fan). Mikuni VM16 carburetor using (a combination of main jet / pilot jet: 95 and 22.5 for the type standards, 90 and 20 for type Tune). Comparison of the final reduction is quite severe (36/14) make this bike can reach top speed to 130 kph for the standard version, and 140 kph for the version of Crystal Tune in the new conditions at that time.

VW Beetle

In the picture above looks a VW Beetle that was speeding, you can read the sentences written on the body of the car. VW is methane gas generated from the recycling process of waste (waste).

GENeco is an installation (company) waste in Bristol, UK who have managed to produce methane gas. Product is produced by processing waste and they have used it as a source of energy in their environment.

At least, their current project Talah runs quite efficiently, they are able to supply gas to some 70 households around them for a full year. The gas supplied for domestic needs is excess gas that can not be their own use and they do not want any gas that is wasted.

GENeco also challenged to be able to utilize their gas product into an energy source for vehicles, although the cost is expensive, GENeco keep importing specialized equipment, to enhance the biogas they produce in order not to degrade the performance of the machine.

Processing waste into methane gas is the first step of an ambitious environmental agenda GENeco. The company has plans to plant them to conduct their recycling of waste that taste of food.

Although not intended to replace the need for petroleum, but clearly the efforts made by GENeco is a positive step. If the project GENeco successful, the food waste is no longer the stuff that does not value or at least no longer raises concerns about environmental pollution, because after being converted into methane gas can be consumed as vehicle fuel.

Merkel pioneering motorcycle

Merkel pioneering motorcycle design since the 1900's. In the early days of fever motorcycle, Merkel released a hero who carries a single-cylinder small engines in 1902, and then growing up to adopt the V-twin engine in 1910 and cemented his position in the motorcycle industry competition.

Even though the overall shape is similar to a bicycle motot time, Merkel has given a touch more on the front fork at the same time as the front suspension. At first glance looks similar to the RIDGID bicycle forks, but it is actually a hidden spring in it, which was then in contek by other motorcycle manufacturers. No lag, the rear wheel fork is also getting attention by combining swing and slider arm.

Edition 1915, Merkel offers superior model: front and rear suspension, Kickstarter, suspension on the saddle (spring), with two-speed transmission and the engine is powerful V-twin with a capacity of 1,000 cc.

But unfortunately the innovators and pioneers can not survive against stiff competition and had to leave the motorcycle industry in 1916.

motorcycle manufacturer

motorcycle manufacturer, is owned by the Aurora Automatic Machinery Company. The company is also credited with growing American motorcycle industry, because the homemade machines utilized by other motorcycle manufacturers such as Indians, Reading Standard and Sears.

Cooperation with the Indians began in 1902 and ended in 1907, so that Thor took the initiative to build his own motorcycle.

In early models, Thor uses a single machine that is designed Thor-Indians and has been producing for five years. And when Thor introduced the first V-twin in 1910, triggering other manufacturers follow suit.

Thor engine, not in pairs up to form a V, but the front cylinder and a cylinder tends to fall back into an upright so hurf L similar to that in the modern era is now often adopted by produesen motorcycles from Italy: Ducati. Consequently in the back of the machine there is space and Thor use it to put the carburetor and magneto (generator?)

In 1913, Thor introducing new V-twin engine designed by himself and mounted in a conventional manner, as well as replacing the 76 cubic inch engine. Thor successful for several races, but could never escape the shadow of Indian and Harley-Davidson.

End of the story of Thor same period manufacturers of motorcycles that are not able to face intense competition, but Thor still managed to issue a final product in 1917 before completely disappearing because the parent company to concentrate more on industrial equipment and power tools.

Pierce motorcycle

Pierce motorcycle production in 1910 is the first four-cylinder motorcycle in the wake of the American motorcycle manufacturer. Unfortunately, neither the design nor the company is short-lived.

Pierce motorcycle with 4-cylinder engine was introduced in 1909, with designs influenced by FN four cylinder that was built in Belgium.

With its low and far more modern than the FN, and is a high-end motorcycles are built with a tubular frame that has a double function as a framework as well as fuel tanks. Energy generated from engine capacity of 700 cc (42 cubic inch).

Machines are part terintragrasi the frame and rear wheel drive with a rod perantaraaan (coupling) and the axle, something new the first time adopted during the American-made motorcycle. Initial model is berpenggerak directly, without clutch and without a gearbox, new in 1910, two-speed clutch and transmission are added.
Pierce's four-cylinder is an expensive bike when viewed from the sales slightly, although the single-cylinder engine with a similar design are also offered. The legend says that the cost of production of both models is so large that the company experienced financial difficulties and closed the factory in 1913.

AJS – 1954

It is AJS – 1954 not uncommon for a given product name or include the name of the author, as well as motorcycles AJS. AJS motorcycle was named by the acronym of the maestro: Albert John Stevens.

Until the early 1900's, mister Steven and his brother have built a machine which is then mated with a chassis made by other companies. While motorcycles made their pure emerging in 1909. Until before the outbreak of World War II, single-cylinder engine built AJS and V-twin, as well as some championship success in the capital for above selling their products.

Junghans watch factory

Junghans watch factory came into being in 1861. Businessman Erhard Junghans founded the company in Schramberg, a small town in the Black Forest, together with his brother-in-law Jakob Zeller-Tobler. At first, they specialized in manufacturing individual parts for watch production. The precision of Junghans work quickly became synonymous with outstanding quality of manufacturing, and the foundation was laid for a complete watchmaking enterprise. The first watches bearing the Junghans brand were designed and constructed by the company's own master watchmakers in 1866.

Following the registration as early as 1877 of the first factory trademark, "eagle with flag", the JUNGHANS trademark, a clock cogwheel fashioned into a eight-pointed star, became the brand symbol in 1890. Three years later, the millionth timepiece was produced. In 1903 JUNGHANS was the largest clock-maker in the world. They were well-known for producing a wide variety of clocks as you can see from the (clickable) photos on this page. The company further expanded over years merging with other well-known German clockmakers including Lenzkirch, Thomas Haller and Gustav Becker.

After war and dismantling, the end of the Black Forest clockmaker seemed to have come. But under great-grandson Helmuth Junghans the work of reconstruction was begun. Today, this clockmaking factory, largest in Germany, is owned by Diehl. By the mid-19th century, German Black Forest clockmakers went into decline because they were unable to compete with American-made clocks. Junghans was one of the first Black Forest clockmakers to adopt American production methods, first making American-style clocks and later adopting more of a German style. However, by 1900 German clockmakers, having successfully embraced American production methods, were once again become the dominant force in clockmaking worldwide.

The Vietnamese became independent from China in AD 938 after their victory at the battle of Bạch Đằng River. Successive dynasties flourished along with geographic and political expansion deeper into Southeast Asia, until it was colonized by the French in the mid-19th century. Efforts to resist the French eventually led to their expulsion from the country in the mid-20th century, leaving a nation divided politically into two countries. Fighting between the two sides continued during the Vietnam War, ending with a North Vietnamese victory in 1975.

Roman dodecahedron

Roman dodecahedron is a small hollow object made of bronze or stone, with a dodecahedral shape: twelve flat pentagonal faces, each having a circular hole in the middle which connects to the hollowed-out center. Roman dodecahedra date from the 2nd or 3rd centuries AD.

About a hundred of these dodecahedra have been found from Wales to Hungary and to the east of Italy, with most found in Germany and France. Ranging from 4cm to 11cm in size, they also vary in terms of textures. Most of them are made of bronze but some also seem to be made of stone.

The function or use of the dodecahedra remains a mystery; no mention of them has been found in contemporary accounts or pictures of the time. Speculated uses include candlestick holders (wax was found inside one example); dice; survey instruments; devices for determining the optimal sowing date for winter grain; that they were used to calibrate water pipes; and army standard bases. It has also been suggested that they may have been religious artifacts of some kind. This latter speculation is based on the fact that most of the examples have been found in Gallo-Roman sites.

Function and Purpose

Function and Purpose
The Antikythera mechanism, as it is now known, was originally housed in a wooden box about the size of a shoebox, with dials on the outside and a complex assembly of bronze gear wheels within. X-ray photographs of the fragments, in which around 30 separate gears can be distinguished, led the late Derek Price, a science historian at Yale University, to conclude that the device was an astronomical computer capable of predicting the positions of the sun and moon in the zodiac on any given date. A new analysis, though, suggests that the device was cleverer than Price thought, and reinforces the evidence for his theory of an ancient Greek tradition of complex mechanical technology.

Michael Wright, the curator of mechanical engineering at the Science Museum in London, has based his new analysis on detailed X-rays of the mechanism using a technique called linear tomography. This involves moving an X-ray source, the film and the object being investigated relative to one another, so that only features in a particular plane come into focus. Analysis of the resulting images, carried out in conjunction with Allan Bromley, a computer scientist at Sydney University, found the exact position of each gear, and suggested that Price was wrong in several respects.

Antikythera mechanism is one of the world's oldest known geared devices. It has puzzled and intrigued historians of science and technology since its discovery. Following decades of work in order to clean the device, systematic investigations were undertaken in 1951 by British Derek J. de Solla Price, professor of history of science at Yale University at that time.

In June 1959, in a front-page article in Scientific American titled "An ancient Greek computer", he brought forth the theory that the Antikythera mechanism was a device for calculating the motions of stars and planets, which would make the device the first analog computer. Up until that time the function of the Antikythera mechanism was largely unknown, though it had been correctly identified as an astronomical device, perhaps being an astrolabe.

In 1971 the Greek nuclear research center "DEMOKRITOS" performed gamma-ray scans of the mechanism. In 1972 Price teamed up with Greek nuclear physicist Christoforos Karakalos to carry out X-ray analysis of the mechanism, in this way revealing critical information concerning the device's interior configuration.

In 1974 he authored "Gears from the Greeks: the Antikythera mechanism - a calendar computer from ca. 80 B.C.", where he presented a model of how the mechanism could have functioned. Recent research breakthroughs seem to give credence to Price's theory.

ancient object

Hobby of collecting old stamps were not only exciting, but also profitable. No less old-fashioned stamp collection hobby my happy with a collection of paintings and other ancient objects. In addition to stored as collections of objects, you can sell old stamps when you need to sell it. Moreover not a few collectors who make a hobby of this kind as a form of investment.

How to Offer

There are many ways of selling or offering a collection of old stamps. You can use an existing site or a blog to offer and sell old stamps you have. Especially on the internet is also available a variety of free advertising blog or website, which you can use. Likewise if you have an account on Facebook, take advantage of to offer a stamp collection.

You can take advantage of online business forums that a lot of traffic or visits. Among them, you can go to the thread in the buying and selling old stamps Kaskus, the largest community site in Indonesia. Here you are only required to register by filling the form available at no cost a penny.

Another way is by joining in the philately club at a broader level. If you've been already joined and became a member of philatelic clubs in the area, try to expand the network to a national or regional level. A lot of valuable information that you can get. Including information on old-fashioned kind of stamps you have.

How To Auction

In addition, we can also sell old-fashioned stamps by auction. In Indonesia there are a number of organizations or institutions that are often held an auction of stamps. One of the agencies that conduct activities that are the Merchants Association of Indonesian Stamps or APPI. These institutions are usually held two times a year auction, the auction site moved periodically, such as in Jakarta, Bandung or Surabaya.

To follow the event a stamp auction held APPI relatively easy. You can just fill out the forms provided on the data yourself. After that will be required to deliver or send the stamps to be included in the auction to the secretariat of APPI. This is done because not all types of stamps can be auctioned.

As for the technical bid is done through two ways. The first way, you can bid the price of old stamps that you will sell, although this can be rejected by APPI if you bid too high. While the second way is to submit the price will be determined by the auction committee APPI, of course, based on prospective buyers at the auction bidding takes place.
