Hugon Gas Engine

In 1867 Pierre Hugon of Paris, France, was awarded a U.S. Patent for an internal combustion, standing engine, his “gas engine”. The engine measured 1.6 X 2.3 X 1.1 meters and weighed over 1000kg. This model is based on photos of engines made by licensee Edward Casper in London, England displayed in the Science Museum, London, and the Anson Engine Museum, Poynton, Cheshire.
