Diesel Engine History

Diesel History
Rudolf Diesel was born in Paris in the year 4. His parents were Bavarian immigrants. Rudolf Diesel began his studies at the Polytechnic University of Munich. After graduating, he began working as a refrigerator engineer. However, he had a real love for engine design. Rudolf Diesel had many designs on thermal motors, including a solar-powered air motor. In Year 2, he described in an article an engine with a combustion engine (internal combustion engine).

In year 4, he named his new invention, a diesel engine. Rudolf Diesel dies in a diesel engine explosion. However, the diesel engine proved to be able to ignite fuel without the need for a spark. His first successful diesel engine operated in year 6. Modern diesel engines are an improved version of the original Rudolf Diesel concept. They are often used in submarines, ships, locomotives, and large and generating trucks (diesel generators).

Rudolf Diesel's inventions have three points in common:
۱. All of them relate to heat and transfer through physical processes or natural laws.
۲. They all include remarkable mechanical design.
۳. All of them were originally inventors in the sense of motivating sociological needs.
Rudolf Diesel originally designed the diesel engine for independent artisans and artisans competing with the big industry.

The first model of the Rudolph Diesel, a 2-foot iron cylinder with a flywheel at its base, was launched for the first time on August 5. Rudolf Diesel spent two years developing this diesel engine, and presented another model with a theoretical efficiency of 5 percent a year, which was 10 percent more efficient than a steam engine. In year 4, Rudolf Diesel was a millionaire.

His diesel engine was used to power pipelines, electricity and water, cars and trucks, and marine crafts, and was immediately used in mines, oil fields, factories, transportation.
