Pub Trivia - AKA things that may be beyond the scope of Moorey’s knowledge

Alrighty, I'm going then
What is the connection between Carl von Linde (Discoverer and inventor of the Refrigeration cycle) and Rudolph Diesel (Inventor of the Diesel Engine)

 

[Dales Cannon]

I remember from uni days they both were working on creating an efficient engine design using the carnot cycle and I am therefore guessing that Rudolf either got there first or pinched bits of Linde's design.

 

[fatboyonabike]

More or less
Linde was actually Diesel's lecturer in Refrigeration and Thermal Dynamics
Diesel designed and patented the Engine on his own merits, but using the knowledge he obtained working under CvL.

Off you go DC...make it a beauty!

So Rudolph didn't invent expensive jeans and associated fashion items?

OK, rules clarification..... If a question goes unanswered, does the person who asked get another go, or does it go to the floor?

I feel it should be about keeping the momentum. So whatever feels right in the moment to kick start things

It was a trick, you weren't supposed to answer the question. I guess that means it's your turn.

In your Drake passage?

No trick, genuine question of protocol for this thread.

Anyway, apparently time for a clue.... Possum was close, but not close enough.....
