History
German engineer, born in Paris, studied at the Munich Polytechnic. Set about constructing a "rational heat motor," demonstrating the first compression engine in 1897, after solving the problem of feul injection into the cylinder head against enormous pressures by devising a special pump. He spent most of his life at his factory at Augsburg until he vanished from an English channel steamer in September 1913.
