The Museum also plans to operate some of its most unique engines during the event. The Museum's Otto Engine is suspected to have been owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and studied by engineering students there. It's a 36 horsepower single cylinder engine that was designed by and named for Nikolaus August Otto (1832-1891.) Otto didn't invent the internal combustion engine but he did define and implement the four cycles which made the engine commercially viable. It's an impressive and very big piece of early technology weighing in at 11\,000 pounds with a six foot diameter flywheel.
