Diesel, Rudolf Christian Karl (1858 – 1913),


German engineer, who invented the diesel engine.

After studying in England, he attended the


Polytechnic School in Munich, where he settled in
1893. In 1892, the patented the internal- combustion
named after him, which employed auto-ignition of
fuel. While associated with the Krupp firm in Essen,
he built the first successful diesel engine, utilizing Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel
(1858 – 1913)
low-cost fuel. In 1913, while on a voyage to England,
Diesel drowned in the English Channel.
