I ran across this documentary from 1952 while researching GDICI and thought it was pretty neat. Of course I am a history buff and love learning about this stuff.

Development of the Diesel Engine

I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks!

You are welcome!

If you don't care and can find it. Can you link to the Audi diesel video? That would be kind of neat to have a post covering both the beginning of the diesel and the current diesel technology.

Thanks!

Appreciate the post! Thanks to YouTube, I went from that documentary to a "How Its Made" episode of the modern diesel (thanks to Audi ... I believe). Amazing engineering.

I wonder how efficient a modern Cummins/Duramax/Powerstroke engine is.

Thanks for posting. I have always loved that kind of stuff. Guess that is why I drifted into an engineering career without really having had it as a goal.
