How Diesel Car Engines Work
All about How Diesel Car Engines Work
The Diesel engine was created by Rudolf Diesel in response to the fuel inefficiency of gasoline engines. At its core, the way a Diesel engine operates is nearly identical to the machinations of the gasoline engine - the primary purpose is to use internal combustion to convert the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy that can drive the movement of the pistons whose up and down movements drive the crankshaft and create the rotating motion required to move the car forward.
