message: quote from hot bulb
""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 was injected 
during the intake stroke and not at the end of the compression stroke as in a diesel. US Patent 502837 Engine operated by the explosion of mixtures of gas or hydrocarbon vapor and air, dated August 8th 1893.line 45""  Wdl1961 (talk) 00:20, 21 December 2008 
It seems to me that the diesel or hot bulb principle was actually known hundreds if not
thousands of years before in the East Indies. It was applied to the fire-piston, 
which was a bamboo cylinder containing tinder which was ignited by the heat produced by the 
compression of air when a sharp rap was given to the piston. It is perhaps still used by
the tribes of Indonesia to make fire.
This article describes no patent dispute; so why the heading? Ttocserp 11:53, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Is there any well-sourced consensus on the hyphen between Akroyd and Stuart? Should it exist or not? Ran into this over on Diesel engine. Thanks. Kajabla (talk) 15:24, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

message: It is claimed that "Hot bulb engines were produced until the late 1920s". [] says they where produced until the 1950s. I read somewhere else (source unknown) that Vierzon built tractors with this type of engine until the 1950s. May be 1920s should be changed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rudipedia (talk • contribs) 15:50, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Lanz Bulldog tractors with hot-bulb (Akroyd) engines (50 and 60 PS) were made until 1957.Don MacMillan: The Big Book of John Deere Tractors, Voyageur Press, St. Paul 1999, p. 110 The last Bulldog engines were direct-injected hot-bulb engines which have a higher ε-number than normal hot-bulb engines (id est a compression ratio comparable to a 2022 DI Turbo petrol (Otto) engine), but still, they have no compression igntion, and they retain their hot-bulb ignition. This makes them almost as efficient as antechamber-injected 1950s Diesels – however, their BMEP figures are still very low (<0.5 MPa) even when compared against the most archaic Diesels. Direct-injected hot-bulb (Akroyd) engines are also known as "half diesels" because of their increased compression ratio and their fuel (direct-injected Akroyds were designed with fuel injectors unsuited for fuels other than DIN-51601-compliant Diesel fuel, which is different from "bog standard Akroyds" that can use virtually any liquid petroleum product as fuel).
