Rudolf Diesel
The Industrial Revolution
Rudolf Diesel
Rudolf Diesel, born around the 1800's in Paris, France was the inventor of the incredible diesel engine. As soon as Diesel graduated from school he knew he had a desire for constructing engines. Diesel's first idea for a more advanced engine was an efficient thermal engine which he received a patent for in 1893. Soon after he received the patent he went to work on his idea. The efficient thermal engine or the diesel engine was an engine that did not have to be ignited and could actually ignite itself. With lots of hard work Diesel's once seemingly impossible idea become possible. In 1888, Rudolf became one rich man when his engine became wildly popular, and his engine is still used to this day.
Combustion Power Engine
This engine was first introduced in the the early 1800's, and was produced for 118 years before it was replaced by another inventor by the name of Rudolf Gunnerman.
Stamp
Above is a stamp that has Diesel himself on it. These stamps were used around the late 1950's in Germany.
2nd Diesel Engine
The 2nd Diesel engine was the first fully functional diesel engine.
Causes and Development of the Industrial Revolution
Britain was the first the industrialize because Britain had a lot of good markets and natural resources to support a big economy. Also development of industrialization caused the population to increase, new technologies, and new jobs. All of these factors were what allowed Britain to become industrialized as quickly as it did.
