Birth of an engine

Article Abstract:

Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine in the 1890s, developing components to atomize the fuel and inject into the cylinder and later adding a supercharger. Diesel became wealthy from his invention. He disappeared during a steamship trip in 1913, and his body was never found.
