 Rudolf Diesel is one.

but his real achievments are ignored and vilified, while his technology is abused for the most part. 

(his actual thinking, his philosophy, is not understood by most engineers - they are blinded by complex details and dont care)

 What exactly has Rudolf Diesel done that was ground breaking? 
 He solved the social problem.

... where the so called capitalists and socialists and the religious failed at in his time with causing big damage in the process, just as they do today.

I learned this in the biography written by his son, Eugen Diesel.
