  • Harry Ricardo – a Passion for Efficiency
    The Piston Engine Revolution Harry Ricardo – A Passion for Efficiency David Morrison Harry Ricardo, born in 1885, was a true pioneer of internal combustion engine research and development, designing and building his first practical engine from the age of 16. His early life, especially at Trinity College, Cambridge, coincided with some key embryonic developments in internal combustion engines, which had a strong influence on his research, especially the work of Bertram Hopkinson and Sir Dugald Clerk. He was passionate about energy efficiency in both his business and private life. This paper covers Harry Ricardo’s early work, experimenting with stratified charge concepts as early as 1903, leading to his work in the early decades of the twentieth century which generated internationally-renowned designs in both diesel and gasoline road vehicle combustion systems. Of these, perhaps the Comet indirect injection system for diesel engines was the most prolific and persisted in various forms well into the 1980s. A very important opportunity for the company was the early work with Shell to study the influence of fuel properties, using a Ricardo variable compression ratio engine. During his time, he had none of the powerful simulation and visualisation tools we take for granted today. He had to use his vivid imagination by trying to visualise what the airflow and fuel mixing must be like inside a combustion chamber. Significant engines up to 1950 included the Dolphin two-stroke, the Comet IDI diesel engine for the world’s first production diesel car – the Citroen Rosalie, the Rolls-Royce diesel conversion for the Flying Spray land speed record car and many developments of spark-ignition combustion systems, including the Turbulent Head.

    The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders InternationalInternational Automotive Automotive Summit Summit 2424 November November 2009 2009 Chief executive’s welcome I am delighted to welcome you here this afternoon to SMMT’s first International Automotive Summit. We meet at an extremely important time, having endured the most difficult economic conditions, and this event gives us the chance to look beyond the recession and recognise the opportunities that lie ahead. Across the political spectrum there is widespread recognition that the UK cannot thrive on financial services alone. Manufacturing, and particularly automotive manufacturing, has a vital role to play in a more balanced economy and will be one of the generators of jobs and prosperity in the years ahead. Government has recognised the strategic national importance of our sector and through its support for the New Automotive Innovation and Growth Team’s report, has committed to a long-term partnership with the motor industry. In terms of our future, we know the global demand for motor vehicles will return. The fast growing markets in Brazil, India and China will continue to embrace personal mobility at faster rates and the replacement cycle for vehicles in developed markets will return. But this future demand will be for cleaner, safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles that can be developed and manufactured anywhere in the world. The challenge for the UK motor industry, and the government, is how to ensure the UK retains and grows its share of the developing global market. The UK’s automotive strengths – efficiency, productivity, innovative R&D and a flexible workforce have already attracted a diverse presence of vehicle manufacturers from Europe, Japan, Malaysia, China, Kuwait, India and the US.
