The Father of the Diesel Engine
Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel was a German inventor born in Paris in 1858. As an inventor his true passion was working with engines. He designed many engines including a solar powered air engine and did extensive work with steam engines. However, his greatest success would come in 1893 when he started work on the first internal combustion engine, or diesel engine. His engine was originally powered using coal powder and compressed air. However when the first diesel engine was shown to the public at the 1898 Exhibition Fair in Paris it ran on peanut oil, an efficient bio-fuel. Many diesel engines were powered with various bio-fuels until the 1920s when modifications to diesel engines and market pressures lead to the popular use of petro diesel.
