Prosper L’Orange (born 1 February 1876 Beirut; died 30 July 1939 Stuttgart) was a German engineer and inventor who pioneered the precombustion chamber (or prechamber) which made possible high-speed diesel engines that did not require an air compressor and enabled them to be built small enough for use in road vehicles.
