First diesel engine invented by a German engineer named Rudolf Diesel. French-born he was creating the diesel engine in 1892.
Not as machines that use kerosene fuel, diesel engines are not equipped with spark plugs, as a means of combustion. He knows that when the compressed gas in an enclosed space, the smaller the volume will be more hot temperature, until in the end will pop which is energy. The engine is designed with the cylinders that can compress the air up to 600 pounds of pressure per square inch. The air is dense and the heat is then channeled to burn diesel fuel, so the explosion which arises will urge pistons.
