Rudolf Diesel was born in Paris in 1858. His parents were Bavarian immigrants. Rudolf Diesel was educated at Munich Polytechnic. After graduation he was employed as a refrigerator engineer. Rudolf loved to design engines but never had the time/money or drive to build one. But in 1893 he decided to build a test engine for fun. The engine ran more efficient than the real engines of the day. Rudolf then design and made the Diesel engine that ran 2 times as efficient as the first test model that he made.

The Diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that runs on its own power.

The information of low efficiency of Gas and steam engines inspired Rudolf to create an engine with a higher efficiently, and he devoted much of his time to developing a Combustion Power Engine. Diesel trucks spewing out black, sooty smoke and creating a loud noise. the negative image of diesel trucks and engines has made diesel less attractive to casual drivers in the United States, New versions of the Diesel engine are less dirty and not as noisy. But with makeing these modifications have the truck/car losing power.
