Rudolf Diesel built an engine to free the workshop, then vanished mysteriously at sea.
means A heavy fuel oil that ignites under compression rather than by spark, or the engine designed to run on it.
from Named directly for Rudolf Diesel, the German engineer who patented the compression-ignition engine in the 1890s; his surname, in turn, is an old German family name. Diesel himself disappeared overboard from a steamer crossing the English Channel in 1913 — his body recovered briefly, then lost again — leaving the word forever attached to a man who vanished into the sea while his invention spread across the world.
