caption_attribution_description: English: Nordberg Manufacturing Company two-stroke diesel radial engine formerly used as part of a flood control facility for Lake Okeechobee. The engine is now on display in John Stretch Park.
context_page_description: A two-stroke diesel engine is a Diesel engine that works by combining what is normally four cycles – intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust into only two strokes of the engine. It was invented by Hugo Güldner in 1899.
  All diesel engines use compression ignition, a process by which fuel is injected after the air is compressed in the combustion chamber, thereby causing the fuel to self-ignite. By contrast, gasoline engines utilize the Otto cycle, or in some recent high-efficiency engines, the Atkinson cycle, in which fuel and air are mixed before entering the combustion chamber and then ignited by a spark plug.
