János Csonka

Csonka, self-educated[2] in many fields,[3] had no university degree, but became one of the greatest figures of Hungarian engineering industry, and with the carburetor he has heavily contributed to technical development in the world.

He studied the Lenoir motor in Paris in 1874 and there he recognized the prospects of the internal combustion engine.

As the head of the workshop in 1879, Csonka invented the first Hungarian gas engine, several other engines and vehicles,[4] including the first motor tricycle and postal automobile of the Hungarian Post, which were used for decades.

In the 1890s, together with Donát Bánki, they produced the Bánki-Csonka engine and the first Hungarian motorcycle and motor-boat.
