The compression engine has bean around for a long time now. The original models started with Herbert Akron Stuart, a English inventor. The growing need for a more effective engine lead a rapidly improving designs. The nearly perfect engine had only one Fla, that was the need of a out side source to help ignite. By 1892 Akron produced the design of a engine that no longer needed the help of a out side source.
In 1892 Diesel patent his design in Germany, Switzerland, and the united states. The engine would compress the air to temperatures above its ignition point. He then operated his very first successful engine in 1897. His design stood 10 feet tall and was shown in Augsburg, this design was a improved design with a theoretical efficiency of 75%. This increase was drastic from the original with only 10% efficiency rate.
By 1898 his designs ware being used in large corporations and the demand was only increasing. His engines ware being delivered to electric. Water and even pipe lines. But his most popular demand were from automobile industries, marine crafts joined the list. Soon after that they ware found in mines, factories, and oil fields. Diesel had become a millionaire with a growing empire.
