A diesel locomotive is a type of railway locomotive in which the prime mover is a diesel engine, a reciprocating engine operating on the Diesel cycle as invented by Dr. Rudolf Diesel. Several types of diesel locomotive have been developed, the principal distinction being in the means by which the prime mover's mechanical power is conveyed to the driving wheels (drivers).
Early internal combustion engine-powered locomotives used gasoline as their fuel. Soon after Dr. Rudolf Diesel patented his first compression ignition engine in 1892, its application for railway propulsion was considered. Progress was slow, however, because of the poor power-to-weight ratio of the early engines, as well as the difficulty inherent in mechanically applying power to multiple driving wheels on swiveling trucks (bogies).
Steady improvements in the diesel engine's design (many developed by Sulzer Ltd. of Switzerland, with whom Dr. Diesel was associated for a time) gradually reduced its physical size and improved its power-to-weight ratio to a point where one could be mounted in a locomotive. Once the concept of Diesel-electric drive was accepted the pace of development quickened, and by 1925 a small number of diesel locomotives of 600 horsepower were in service in the United States. In 1930, Armstrong Whitworth of the United Kingdom delivered two 1,200 hp locomotives, using engines of Sulzer design, to Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway of Argentina.
Baratunde Rafiq Thurston (born September 11, 1977 in Washington, D.C.) is an American comedian based in Boston and New York City.
Thurston grew up on Newton Street in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington. His father was killed when he was young and his mother worked in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. In junior high, his mother and he moved to a suburban black neighborhood in Maryland. He attended the Sidwell Friends School and Harvard University. Baratunde was still a virgin when he graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Philosophy.
Thurston is the author of three self-published books:
As part of Laughing Liberally, Thurston emceed the YearlyKos convention in 2006 and also appeared in 2007.
Thurston has contributed to the Huffington Post and the Weekly Dig. More recently Thurston has become a semi-regular panelist on the podcast this Week in Tech with Leo Laporte.
Thurston began hosting the Popular Science's Future Of television show on the Science Channel in August 2009.
