Rudolf Diesel

Diesel engine inventor

Friends had not heard the diesel engine? Now, the name 'Diesel' was derived from the name penemunya. Would like to know in short biography? Rudolf Diesel was born in Paris of France dated 18 March 1858. Rudolf is the creator of the hot engine bertekanan known as the diesel engine. After graduating from the University Munich, Rudolf worked as a technician in the engine cooling company Linde ice machine in Paris. 1890 he moved to Berlin to manage the company in the field of engineering offices. Although the work has been in office, interest in the design of the machine never lost from ingatannya. Diesel does an idea to create an efficient heat engine spare time. The design of the new realized in the year 1892 and year out right patennya then.

Diesel is the design of the engine efficiency than the existing at the time. Diesel engines do not require burning outside the compound with air and fuel in the engine. More than that, this machine is equipped with air in the press cylinder engine and memanaskannya to the engine, air pressure is associated with the air before the end of the tempo of pressure, the pressure is heating the engine.

The result diesel engine is smaller and lighter than previous engines, which are usually used in the vehicle and not use as a fuel source for burning. Diesel would like to see a real plan, a reliable engine. TO COMPLETE he requires for large companies to work together as the fund in the engine manufacturer.

After obtaining business partners, he immediately produced a machine tests successfully made prototipenya and 1893. In early tests, the results dangerous, Diesel is nearly killed when one of the engines exploded. However, the test results prove that the fuel can be burned without fire sparks interest. He worked with a workmanlike model to improve the engines and successfully perform the tests in the year 1897.

A year later, Diesel, a rich feast. Machine brothers theoretically 75 percent more efficient while the engine has a long level compared to 10 percent efficient steam engine. Diesel engine directly used as energy for cars, trucks, ships and the sea. Besides, it is also used as a source of electricity, pipe lines, watering plants, mines, factories and oil fields. Even now, diesel engines still used and a basic concept for the inventor-discoverer other.

Diesel engines have a large influence in the era of industrial revolution, providing a more energy efficient and cheaper for diverse industries worldwide. Because the machine does not require the burning of coal, transportation companies, so the train and ships can save a lot of money. of course this is not beneficial for the coal mining industry and the role it began to wane.

On 29 September 1913, Diesel disappeared from the ship that ditumpanginya to London. Mayatnya new dipantai found several days later. The mystery behind his death is still mysterious until now. Some believe he may be suicidal, while others speculate that he was killed by coal.
