Wilhelm Maybach

Wilhelm Maybach was an early German engine designer and industrialist. Wilhelm Maybach was born in Heilbronn in 1846, the son of a carpenter and his wife, Luise, from the town of Heilbronn. He had four brothers. At fifteen (1861), Maybach took extra classes in physics and mathematics at Reutlingen's public high-school. By the time he was nineteen years old, he was a qualified designer, working on stationary engines.

In 1869, Maybach followed Daimler to Karlsruhe, a manufacturer of heavy locomotives. Daimler was on the Executive Committee but they spent long nights discussing new designs for engines, pumps, lumber machinery, and metalworking. In 1872, Daimler moved to Cologne, where the world's best gas engines were manufactured. Nikolaus Otto, its half owner, and Daimler together focused on engine development with Maybach joining them, as Chief Designer. By the end of 1885, Maybach and Daimler had developed the first of their engines which is regarded a precursor of all modern petrol engines.

In 1885, they also created the first carburetor. In November 1885, Daimler installed a smaller version of his engine into a wooden bicycle, creating the first motorcycle.

From the late 19th century Wilhelm Maybach, together with Gottlieb Daimler, developed light, high-speed internal combustion engines suitable for land, water and air use.
