Diesel (Rudolf Diesel)

Rudolf Diesel was an engineer who invented the diesel engine, a type of internal combustion engine that efficiently converts fuel into power. Unlike gasoline engines, diesel engines compress air to a high temperature, causing fuel to ignite spontaneously when injected. This process makes diesel engines more fuel-efficient and suitable for heavy-duty vehicles like trucks, ships, and some cars. Diesel's innovation improved transportation and industry by providing a reliable, powerful, and economical engine that works well under demanding conditions. His work has had a lasting impact on modern engines and infrastructure worldwide.
