What was Daimler's central idea about engines?
My core conviction was that the internal combustion engine could be miniaturized and made to run at high speeds, making it practical for vehicles. Before, engines were bulky and slow. We aimed for a compact, powerful unit that could be mounted on carriages or even bicycles. This focus on speed and size was crucial. It meant we could move beyond stationary applications and bring the power of mechanics directly to transportation, revolutionizing how we travel.
