Diesel is named after Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel, a German inventor born in 1858, and most famous for his invention of the Diesel engine. He designed a single 3 m iron cylinder with a flywheel at its base which ran on its own power for the first time in Augsburg, Germany on 10 August 1893. The diesel engine was originally intended to run on bio-fuel such as vegetable oil, rather than the petroleum-based diesel fuels predominantly used today.
