Diesel engine, Dr. Diesel.

“Dr. Diesel demonstrated his engine at the Exhibition Fair in Paris, France in 1898. This engine stood as a example of Diesel's vision because it was fueled by peanut oil - the "original" biodiesel. He thought that the utilization of a biomass based fuel was the real future of his engine. He hoped that it would provide a way for the smaller industries, farmers, and "common folk" a means of competing with the monopolizing industries, which controlled all energy production at that time, as well as serve as a n alternative for thin efficient fuel  consumption of the steam engine. The diesel engine was invented by German engineer  Rudolf Diesel (1858–1913). As a result of Diesel's vision, compression ignited engines were powered by a “bio” fuels or vegetable oil, until the 1920's and are being powered again, today, by biodiesel.”
