from just watching the video i can easily believe he commited suicide. just bc on the surface everything looked nice, financially well off, friends, family, famous inventor,... doesnt mean that he was happy and never had any mental troubles. it may sound weird, but emotions simply arent rational. people cam feel like absolute dogshit even though they are living a seemingly comfortable and successful life. It is also totally possible that he got murdered though.

Lots of advantages to diesel over gas/petrol... Diesel BURNS where gas EXPLODES... for just one. Diesel has a higher energy per weight ratio, for another. Diesel engines rotate slower, producing more torque with less wear, for a third... AND all this on internal combustion, so at least on a sub', you have to consider that every stroke of the engine costs air, exactly the same as every breath by the people onboard. Finally, consider that these sub's were machines of war, same with the surface fleet. Diesel REALLY HAD build his original engines to run on a chemical cocktail, but it was easily derived from vegetable oils, including soy, peanut, and hemp, AND even as far as coal-dust. Practicality rules for mil-spec'... or at least, it did. Being able to set up a refinery to get home just about anywhere for fuel is almost a deal you can't possibly pass by. ;o)

@geodkyt
@geodkyt 9 ай бұрын
The petrochemical industry "developed" diesel fuel because it's really just a petroleum distillate that is highly efficient in diesel engines (and, on a side note, home heating fuel- yeah, in most Western countries, home heating oil is really just a lower grade of diesel fuel) and flows well through piping (which is also one reason why it's used for home heating), but wasn't terribly high demand for other uses (for example, kerosene, which also works well in diesel cycle engines - and jet engines - it was also in high demand for *lighting* and *cooking* , two things diesel isn't nearly as good for). In other words, "diesel fuel" is just what they named that segment of the petroleum distillation chain that didn't previously have a huge market use... and here was a breakout market that it was quite well suited for.

Very good analysis! And to this day biodiesel (diesel fuel made from vegetable oil) is kept out of the discussion of green power by lies. No, you don't have to use up food crops to make it--you can make it from algae. No, it's not inefficient to depend on the growing season a crop--you can harvest algae every three days. No, it doesn't waste good arable land--you can raise algae anywhere that you can put a tank of water. No, algae's not a difficult crop--most people at some time have grown it by accident. Burning biodiesel produces very little greenhouse gases and no sulfur emissions--it's safe enough to use in enclosed spaces. Transporting it holds none of the risks of transporting petroleum--it is far less likely to explode, and if it leaks, it's biodegradable. It produces no toxic byproducts: its two byproducts are glycerine and dried algae matter. The former is an important ingredient in making non-petroleum plastics, and the latter can be fed back into the algae tank to nourish the next generation--and both, if you prefer, are compostable. The only drawback is that it doesn't always burn well in extremely cold conditions. However, since it mixes seamlessly with petroleum diesel, you could mix up a special winter blend that would still dilute and drastically reduce the use of petroleum diesel, and you don't need it all year unless you're a polar scientist. Most people wouldn't need it year-round. What's not to love?

@DoloresJNurss
@DoloresJNurss 7 ай бұрын
@@PhazonBlaxor Thank you for bringing up a good point. So let's see where in the production line the cost might add up. 1. Growing algae. It's so cheap and easy that it happens by accident all the time. What's required is a tank of water (it doesn't have to be potable water; in fact dirty water is better) and sunlight. It also requires nutrients, but dumping back the leftovers after pressing oil from the last batch of algae has turned out to work very well. So far so good. 2. Pressing the oil out of the algae. That requires machinery and power. So does extracting petroleum. Of course if worst came to worst there are methods of oil extraction that date back to prehistoric times, so it can't be all that complicated. But yes, scaling it up requires expending some of the biodiesel that you create in order to extract still more biodiesel. That's called investment. 3. Removing every last trace of water from the oil. In a desert location (of which America has plenty) this could happen without human intervention. Other places would require human intervention, but not nearly as much as is required to refine petroleum, and with way less pollution. 4. Producing lye to break the oil into biodiesel. Our grandmothers used to do that with wood ash. Wood lye (potassium hydroxide) would in fact be preferable to commercial lye (sodium hydroxide) which makes a harder soap but who needs hardened fuel? Some pollution would result, but most of that can be recaptured in the smoke and reburnt, using modern catalytic technology. 5. Break the oil molecule. This is basically the same process as is used for making soap. The difference is using oil that has had every trace of water removed; if any water gets in, you wind up with soap instead of biodiesel. We already have factories that produce soap that aren't going out of business anytime soon, so I don't think that would be expensive. 6. Shipping off the byproduct (glycerine) to be made into non-petroleum based plastic by a process involving potato starch. How cheap or expensive these steps are seems to largely depend on whether you want to go plain or fancy--for instance, sun-drying versus kiln-drying. The fancier you get, the swifter or more productive, but you have to weigh whether the increase in production or speed will ultimately pay for the increase in expense.

One of the best ways to vanish is to create the illusion of suicide, if he had a full facial beard, then shaving it all off would have changed his looks, he could have booked passage under another name, thus giving him another room to sleep in and to change his appearance, by getting the steward to wake him at a set time was guarantee way of having the ship searched fully and a way finding the neatly folded clothes. Because of the investigation that was going on nobody would have noticed a clean shaven man leaving the ship when it docked in the UK As to the body found that could have been a red herring, the fishing boat have freezer boxes to put the body into so that it could be turned over to the police once in port, they could have been given these items to just hand over to the police, if they had been given enough cash under the table to drop the items into salt water and let them sit in it to make it looks as if they had been pulled from a body.

Good question. He was the motivation for him to invent an invention that would be his own. It is a different sort of motivation to come up with something so fantastic.

Thanks for this intriguing video. I guess Rudolf Diesel is probably one of the most important engineers to have ever existed. His name is on a par with Archimedes. But his mysterious disappearance is not well known. My guess is murder. Another famous disappearance from someone on a ship is Robert Maxwell, the CEO of the huge media conglomerate.

The compression ignition engine, now ubiquitous as the Diesel engine, made waves for it's usability in undeveloped countries because it would run on peanut/vegetable oil. I remember a day, because of the fuels that carbon would build up in the upper half of cylinders and valve seats. The tendency for those cars to keep turning over after the ignition, the "chock-a-clunk-clock" as it were was an effect of the hot unburned material in the cylinder tops. It was a compression ignition artifact and was called, "Dieseling".

One problem with the “prevent the license” theory is the RN was putting diesel powered subs into service in 1910 or earlier. The “D class” is an example. Perhaps this is one of the patent litigation disputes. Of course a little thing like a patent would stop a government from using a key technology in military hardware if that patent is owned by a foreign national of a potentially hostile power. Would Diesel get a “fair legal process?” Just research the litigation between Alfred Nobel and the UK over the Ballistite versus Cordite and decide. That litigation turned on interpretation of the patent claim of “nitrocellulose of the well known soluble kind.” Anyway WW I might’ve made the patent irrelevant just like AG Bayer lost the trademark “Aspirin” in the USA.

What if he was not murdered or had any intentions of suicide but had a mental disorder. Researchers showed that when boxers received strong and many punches to their heads they would eventually be diagnosed with a variety of mental disorders. Probably the man could have been a victim of this tragic experience due to his invention attacking him headfirst. It could have been a result of an injury.

OR... Diesel overpowered his would-be killer and shot him with his own pistol. Not wishing to be arrested as a suspected murderer, Diesel took off his coat and hat, folded them neatly and left them where they could be found the next morning. He then quickly changed clothes with the dead man, and also exchanged wallets and other personal effects. He then tossed the corpse overboard, expecting it to be found and identified as Diesel. Diesel himself would simply lie low until the ship arrived in London (remember, it was only an English Channel crossing, so a rather brief sailing), then disembark with nobody recognizing him. Where to next? Well, perhaps the British Admiralty, where he would complete his deal with the British Navy and obtain their version of Witness Protection, complete with new identity and a nice little place in the Cotswalds. And while he would miss his wife, he soon discovered that his trilingual savoir-faire and bulging pocket-book would attract no shortage of English country lasses willing to keep the Guvnah company.

"His eye sight never fully recovered" "Some say that he fell over from the boat at night" I see a connection there, he was blind as a mole and fell. Also it's said he had a mental break down and ended up hospitalized in 1898 so bad mental health makes it probably that he jumped instead fell.

Speaking of Diesel, back in 2009 or 201, in the back of a MaCleans magazine (in Canada) there was a half page "tech" essay about a small company in Ontario which had developed a species of photosynthesizing bacteria which, in the presence of sunlight, water and CO2, produced pure biodiesel as a waste product. They'd taken it through prototype stage and were producing diesel in several pools. Great things were foreseen. I've never heard a blip since. Is this something anyone else has ever come across? Certainly a cheap source of diesel would have been a game changer. Perhaps problems adapting to true commercial production were insurmountable. It's just strange that, even though I've searched, I've NEVER found a single mention of this anywhere since. "'Curiouser and curiouser', said Alice"
