Rudolf Diesel invented the 'Diesel' engine and they were originally used as more efficient replacements for stationary steam engines.
The diesel engine allowed trains and ships to operate more efficiently with oil instead of coal. In 1892 a German engineer Rudolf Diesel patented the engine that bears his name, an internal combustion engine that doesn't require a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture.
In 1913 he vanished overboard from a steamer bound for London; his body washed up ten days later. Some believe he committed suicide and cite his neurotic personality and numerous breakdowns, and some believe he was murdered by either Germans (who resented his lack of nationalism) or by coal industrialists (who resented his engine).
The first successful commercial diesel engine was built in the United States, thanks to the financial backing of Adolphus Busch, famous brewer of Budweiser.
