Inventor Rudolf Diesel vanishes

On 1913, the inventor of the engine Rudolf Diesel disappeared from the ship in Dresden on the way from Antwerp in Belgium to Harwick in England. October 10, a Belgian seaman of the North Sea vessel found an object floating on water; after further investigation the object was confirmed to be diesel. His death still and still has many mysteries: It is officially judged to be suicide, but many people believe that diesel was killed.

The diesel engine got its patent on February 28, 1892; the following year he entered a paper entitled "Rational Heat Engine Theory and Structure to Replace the Steam Engine and the Modern Internal Combustion Engines" I explained the design. His invention claims to be a "compression ignition engine" that can burn any fuel - later, he has made a prototype that will use peanut oil or vegetable oil - and does not require an ignition system did. Very high pressure, very hot

Diesel believes that this engine has unprecedented efficiency: compared to other steam engines at the time, diesel engines waste over 90% of fuel energy and diesel calculates efficiency up to 75% . (That is, only a quarter of the energy is wasted.) The most efficient engine efficiency actually produced by diesel engines is 26% - not 75%, but still better than the other companies.

By 1912, more than 70,000 diesel engines around the world were working on factories and generators. After all, the diesel engine revolutionized the railway industry, and after the Second World War trucks and buses began using diesel engines, so that heavier luggage could be more economically transported.

When diesel died he was heading to the UK to start a new diesel engine factory - and met with the British Navy to discuss ways to install the engine on their submarines. A conspiracy theory entitled "The inventor was thrown into the sea and ceased selling patents to the UK government" began to appear soon. Diesel really throws himself aside - it turns out that he is almost bankrupt - but this mystery may never be solved

Rudolf Diesel (formal Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel) is a German thermal engineer and inventor known for inventing diesel engines. Diesel was born for immigrant guardian in Paris on March 18, 1858. He spent his childhood in France, but due to the outbreak of the war in 1870 his family was forcibly repatriated and decided to move to London. When Diesel was 12 years old, his mother sent him to live with his relatives in Germany. From a very young age, Diesel wanted him to be an engineer. In 1880 he received the highest honor in Royal Bavarian Polytechnic in Munich and received the highest honor in school. Contrary to his desire for his parents' wishes, he is studying scholarships there. Start his career as soon as possible

Diesel fuel was born from experiments on compression ignition engines invented by inventor Rudolph Diesel in 1892 as a German scientist. The diesel engine was originally designed to test other fuels, including vegetable oils like peanut oil which was engine of his engine at the Paris Expo in 1900 and the Paris World's Fair in 1911, using coal dust as fuel. it was done. Petroleum diesel, also called petroleum diesel or fossil diesel, is the most common type of diesel. It is produced by fractional distillation of crude oil at atmospheric pressure between 200 ° C. (392 ° F.) and 350 ° C. (662 ° F.), usually a mixture of carbon chains containing 8 to 21 carbon atoms per molecule .
