Abstract
The diesel engine, or the compression ignition engine, was invented by Dr. Rudolph Diesel, who patented the device in 1892. Diesel's patent covered the use of coal dust as a fuel, but also included other solid, liquid, or gaseous duels. Some of the fuels tried during the initial development of this engine included coal-tar mixtures, blends of coal dust and oil, and petroleum-based products.
