What was the first name of Mr. Diesel, the inventor of the Diesel engine?
"Diesel (film) Diesel is a 1942 German biographical film directed by Gerhard Lamprecht and starring Willy Birgel, Hilde Weissner and Paul Wegener. It portrays the life of Rudolf Diesel, the German inventor of the diesel engine. It was one of a series of prestigious biopics made in Nazi Germany portraying genius inventors or artists struggling against the societies in which they live. The film was based on a biography by Eugen Diesel, one of Diesel's children. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by art director Erich Kettelhut.

He retired to his cabin about 22:00 with a request to be called at 06:15 in the morning, but he was not seen alive again. Later a Dutch ship found a body floating in the sea and from the items and clothes recovered the remains were identified as Diesel's. In 1915 ""Dresden"" was taken over by the admiralty as an armed boarding steamer and renamed HMS ""Louvain"". On 21 January 1918, she was torpedoed by the Imperial German Navy submarine"
"Diesel locomotive A diesel locomotive is a type of railway locomotive in which the prime mover is a diesel engine. Several types of diesel locomotive have been developed, differing mainly in the means by which mechanical power is conveyed to the driving wheels. Early internal combusition locomotives and railcars used kerosene and gasoline as their fuel. Dr. Rudolf Diesel patented his first compression ignition engine in 1898, and steady improvements in the design of diesel engines reduced their physical size and improved their power-to-weight ratio to a point where one could be mounted in a locomotive. Internal combustion engines only"

She is known as the place of the 1913 disappearance of German engineer Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the Diesel engine. The ship was built in 1897 by the Earle Company at Hull for the Great Eastern Railway. She operated on the North Sea route between Harwich and the Hook of Holland. She was renamed HMS ""Louvain"" in 1915 and was used by the Royal Navy in World War I. until her loss in 1918. On 29 September 1913 Rudolf Diesel, German"
"so such an innovation is attributed to Rudolph Diesel who originally patented the injection of fuel just before end of compression stroke. And the water jacketed vaporizer only slightly alleviated auto-ignition and contributed to heat transfer losses to water decreasing the efficiency of engine. This system was patented in October 1890 and development continued. In 1892, five years before Rudolf Diesel's first successful prototype, engineers at Hornsby's built an experimental engine that replaced vaporiser with a standard cylinder head and a high-pressure fuel nozzle system. It was the world's first internal combustion engine to run on purely compression ignition. However,"

Eventually, he obtained a patent for his design for a compression-ignition engine. In his engine, fuel was injected at the end of compression and the fuel was ignited by the high temperature resulting from compression. From 1893 to 1897, Heinrich von Buz, director of MAN AG in Augsburg, gave Rudolf Diesel the opportunity to test and develop his ideas. Rudolf Diesel obtained patents for his design in Germany and other countries,"
"History of the diesel car Diesel engines began to be used in automobiles in the 1930s. Mainly used for commercial applications early on, they did not gain popularity for passenger travel until their development in Europe in the 1960s. Diesel cars continue to develop into highly desired, high performance while retaining power and performance. In terms of pollution, diesel engines generally produce less carbon dioxide than gasoline-based engines but produce more nitrous oxides Charles Wallace Chapman at Perkins Engines at Peterborough, England, developed an engine, the high speed diesel engine, for automobiles; previously diesel engines were too large and heavy."
