The Elsbett, or Elko (known for "Elsbett Konstruktion"), engine is an 89 horsepower (66 Kilowatt), direct-injection diesel engine that was invented by Ludwig Elsbett It is designed to run on pure plant oil (PVO). Elsbett AG, the current manufactuerer, is based in Thalmässing, Bavaria.

The design limits of the loss of energy as heat by a variety of technologies:

  • The fuel charge is injected in such a manner as to "blend perfectly with the air" and combust within a central core of hot air, not contacting the chamber walls.
  • The engine also doesn't use any water cooling. Instead, oil is used as the singular coolant.
