--- Begin Message --- -Caveat Lector- Diesel's once-renewed German patent had expired.
This account didn't say about the US and other
patents.
http://www.google.com/search?q=rudolph+dieselIn 1907 his daughter Heddy marries Arnold von Schmidt, an engineer. Its social event of the year in Munchen. Amidst the wedding joy, the headaches came back, with an astonishing loss of 3.5 millions marks, it was no wonder. Additionally the patent ran out on the Diesel engine. Indeed a tumultuous year for the Diesels.

Biography of Rudolph Diesel
Authored by Martin Leduc
Rudolph Christian Carl Diesel
Born March 18, 1858, Paris
Died September 29, 1913, in the English Channel
Rudolph Diesel was born to Theodor and Elise Diesel in their small Paris apartment at 38 rue de Notre Dame....
In order to manage the explosive growth of the Diesel engine. Rudolph establishes a company to manage the licensing. It buys all patent, and is tasked with the further developments and management of the new engine. It is called the General Diesel Corporation, and is founded on September 17, 1898. Rudolph is paid a sum of 3.5 million German marks. Shortly after, he is diagnosed with nervous exhaustion and enters a private sanitarium in Munchen.
After leaving the sanitarium, not feeling any better, he was further agonized by the fantastic fortune beginning to roll in and the problems associated with it. The violent headaches were becoming more prevalent. The doctors decide that a "rest castle" in the Alps might be better for him then the sanitarium close to home in April of 1898. While there, Rudolph invested heavily into an oil development in the Balkans, it went sour. He had lost 300,000 marks, at a time when his "dream" mansion, Maria - Theresia _ Strasse 32, was taking shape.
The mansion was magnificent. It had all the "modern luxury", as well as kids amenities. Plumbing and wired to the highest standards, marble fireplaces in every room. Even the windows were custom made. The decoration was luxurious. Painted, vaulted ceiling, French furniture, Italian wardrobes etc. All, for a staggering sum of money. The Diesel's financial situation was hinging precariously close to disaster.
But all was not doomed. Rudolph was invited witness the first flight of the 128 meter Luftshiftf Zeppelin 1 airship. As well in 1900, the grandest event ever. The Diesel engine takes the Grand Prix, the highest prize, at the 1900 Paris Exposition. The exposition was attended by 50 million people.
In 1904 Rudolph attended a car race in Germany, he came back excited about a machine which could go so fast, a gas powered Mercedes. But he overestimated his ability to drive it, mainly his vision and gouty right foot, so he hired a driver. Later in that year Rudolph decided to travel to the United States. After spending some time in New York City, he traveled to St Louis where he was a guest of Adolphus Busch who was having a tough time selling the engine in the United State. He traveled far and wide, and took all the sight in. Amazingly the trip rejuvenated him, and as soon as he came back to Germany, he designed and built a four cylinder "petite" version of his engine. It later wins the Grand Prix in Paris in 1910, once again.
In 1911, Rudolph is invited to co-guest of honor with Sir Charles Parsons at the World Congress of Mechanical Engineers in London. Sir Parsons was the inventor of the compound steam turbine. Continuing in his travels, he and Martha go to the US. Once again to help Mr. Busch sell the floundering diesel engine in America. But America the land of plenty, as too many resources to really care about an efficient engine. They return to the Germany and a lawsuit from a real estate company, he is forced to pay 600,000 marks. The headaches grow in severity.
The latest financial woe brings up the total losses of the Diesel's up to nearly ten million marks. In 1913, he published a book about the origins of the Diesel engine. It makes a small dent into the his debt. Along with war brewing in the Balkans and being a pacifist, times are hard. He takes life a bit slower, taking time to enjoy simpler things, like hiking. He sold the car to help pay some of his debts, and his friends commented on a "less proud man" Mr. Diesel had become. His son, Rudolph, left school to become a clerk, much to the disappointment of Rudolph the senior. He soon married and had a son. Eugen, the Diesel's youngest son, had an intense desire to follow in his dad's footstep. Like his father, he apprentices as a "blaeu monteur" at Sulzer.
With a mortgage on the new mansion, and war breaking out in the Balkans, the future seem quite bleak for Rudolph. He had been invited to England to dine with Sir Parsons. Martha had left to visit her mother in Remscheid. Before meeting Martha. He summoned his eldest son for a short visit. Rudolph Jr. later states that their time together was "bizarre", his father had taken him around the house and showed him the keys for the rooms. Shortly after, Eugen left for Sulzer in Switzerland. Rudolph on his way to England spends two weeks in Frankfurt with Heddy, Martha, and his grandchildren. Before leaving, he leaves with Martha a leather case, with instruction that it be well looked after, and not opened. On September 26, 1913, he boarded a slow train to Belgium, first class. In Gent, he checked in to the Hotel de la Poste, where 31 years earlier he had met Martha. He wrote her a loving, but confused letter, he misaddressed it. The letter did not reach her until a lengthy detour. On the 28, he wrote to his son mentioning his headaches an insomnia troubles. The next afternoon he boarded the steamer Dresden at Antwerp with the line's owner and it's chief engineer, George Carels and Alfred Laukman, they had a pleasant dinner and Rudolph was said to be in good spirits.
When Rudolph did not meet Mr Carels and Mr Laukman for breakfast, the ship was searched. Mr Diesel's cabin was empty, the bed had not been slept in and the luggage had not been opened. His coat and hat was found neatly folded under the stern railing. Capt H Hubert ordered the ship to search but to no avail, he was reported missing. The inventor's notebook had a small cross under the 29 of September, nothing else. On October 10, a Belgian steamer Coertsen spotted a body in the water, it was left at sea. The effect taken from the body were later identified by Eugen Diesel in the Dutch port of Vlissingen as his father's articles. When Martha opened the bag Rudolph had left for her, she found twenty thousand marks, and financial statements showing all bank accounts were empty. It was evident Rudolph had taken his life.

In 1912, 20 years after the engine was conceived, four books were written about its development. Diesel wrote one. The other three were by people who were out to minimize his claims.
The seeds of the dispute, Bryant argues, were sown in Diesel's view of invention -- the usual view that a device is first invented, then developed, and finally improved. Diesel left very clear records of what he actually did. There's no doubt that between 1890 and '93 he invented the engine using his knowledge of thermodynamics. The idea of burning fuel slowly, and at higher pressures, was certainly his.
There's also no doubt that he worked from 1893 to '97 at the Augsburg Machine-Works to develop a working engine. During this time Diesel faced problem after problem. To solve them he had to do a lot more theoretical work and more invention. In Diesel's view, he was still inventing the engine. People outside the process saw all this as development -- the dirty work that anyone has to go through to make a good idea into workable hardware.
After 1897 Diesel figured he was done with his invention, and he turned to promoting it. But the engine was woefully unready for the market. Eleven more years of improvement and innovation were needed. Meanwhile, Diesel worked himself into a nervous breakdown promoting the not-yet-ready engine.
Now the 1912 controversy becomes clearer. Diesel saw his own development as a continuation of the inventive process -- and it most surely was that. But what went on from 1897 to 1908 -- the innovation that made the engine commercially feasible -- that he viewed as no more than simple clean-up work by lesser minds. He irritated other engine designers by sneering at their work. He failed to see that what made his engine viable in the marketplace was a lot of truly inventive thinking by a lot of good engineers.
Diesel was badly troubled by the criticisms. And in 1913 he vanished from a boat to England. His body was found ten days later. His death brought out all kinds of lurid stories about plots to sell secrets to the British. But it's pretty clear that he only committed suicide.

he wanted to create something that superheated ammonia gas could take the place of steam in a steam engine. He wanted to enable much higher compression pressures to be used than was able with conventional steam engines. In this way he could make greater use of heat energy. Rudolph was 32 when he finally accomplished his goal of creating the first ever Diesel Engine. This is ONLY a preview of the article.
