No, Rudolph Diesel did not invent the internal combustion engine; he is best known for developing the diesel engine, which is a type of internal combustion engine that operates using diesel fuel. The concept of the internal combustion engine predates Diesel, with early designs emerging in the 19th century, including those by inventors like Nikolaus Otto and Georges Brayton. Diesel's contribution was significant in improving engine efficiency and performance, particularly for heavy-duty applications.
In 1897 Rudolph Diesel invented his engine.
The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
The diesel engine doesn't have any spark plugs, and uses heat generated during compression to ignite the fuel. The diesel however, is an internal combustion engine.
Petrol and diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The internal combustion that turns the engine and powers the wheels is created by the combustion of fuel. No fuel, no combustion, and nothing to drive the wheels.
Gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine where a diesel is an internal compression engine. Gasoline is highly flammable and explodes when an electrical spark is applied to it where diesel explodes when it is put under pressure

In 1898, Rudolf Diesel was granted patent #608,845 for an "internal combustion engine" the Diesel engine. Born in France, grew up in Germany.
in 1913, Rudolph Diesel proposed a new type of internal combustion engine that had more pressure. This raised the temperature of the gas in the cylinder. This, then, allowed a lower grade of fuel to be used instead of highly combustible gasoline.
The working fluid in an internal combustion engine like a diesel would simply be the air it sucks in and passes out in the exhaust.

French scientist Rudolf Diesel was the person who invented the first internal combustion engine. Diesel ran his first prototype for the internal combustible engine in Augsburg, Germany, in August 1893.
