RUDOLF DIESEL


RUDOLF DIESEL

1858-1913

The diesel engine was developed by Rudolf Diesel in 1893. A diesel engine (also known as a compressing-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compressing to initiate ignition to burn the fuel, which is injected into the combustion chamber. This is in contrast to spark-ignition engines such as petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which uses a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture.
