My family made a beaver fall off a cliff once. It was when I was reasonably young, I think we were in Canada, we drove up a mountain road that turned out to be a dead end. We got out of the car anyway, and spotted something in the bushes. We tried to slowly approach, but we must have made too much noise or something because we startled it and saw its tail as it ran off, and suddenly heard "thump, thump, thump, thump" - the sound of a beaver falling down a steep hill.

So, as a chemist, I was once doing some research about alkylcobalt compounds. And I stumbled by accident on that paper from the 1920s Where they suggested adding dimethylcadmium to gasoline to prevent engine knocking. (I just tried to find it again, and now realize there are even a couple patents on doing so!) So, in a way, we're lucky they instead went for lead!

[@TheSimmr001]

Not only cadmium but f***ing DIMETHYLCADMIUM. To quote blogger and chemist Derek Lowe: "The general rule is, if you’re looking for the worst organic derivatives of any metal, you should hop right on down to the methyl compounds. That’s where the most choking vapors, the brightest flames, and the most panicked shouts and heartfelt curses are to be found. Methyl organometallics tend to be small, reactive, volatile, and ready to party. He actually has a full article on this stuff which makes for an interesting, albeit scary read once you consider that they wanted to use that stuff as a gasoline additive.

[@escwire7755]

Some of the ones used in caravans and so on are hybrid models that can be powered by propane, 12V or 230V depending on what's the most convenient. Called absorption fridges by the way. And there are absorption fridges still being made that only uses 230V that are used when you want a very quiet fridge, such as for the hotel room mini bar. The lack of noise is pretty much the only advantage over a compressor fridge. The absorption fridge gives less cooling, produces more heat outside it and uses more energy than a compressor fridge. Generally speaking.

[@jonathannash8471]

The reason why nobody knew that CFCs were bad for the atmosphere is because of the density of chlorine gas. The bond in a chlorine molecule can absorb a lot of UV radiation, resulting in it breaking far easier. However, due to the UV, this breaking produces two atoms of chlorine with unpaired electrons, called 'radicals'. These chlorine radicals catalyse the breakdown of ozone into oxygen gas, thus making holes in our ozone layer. The reason why nobody knew this prior to CFCs is because chlorine is a relatively heavy gas, thus preventing it from reaching the upper part of the atmosphere where there is more UV. CFCs on the other hand, containing lighter elements Carbon, Hydrogen, and Fluorine, are light enough to rise to the upper atmosphere, at which point the same UV breakdown occurs forming chlorine radicals, removing our ozone.

For 1979, 80 MPH in the US would have been really fast. I was thinking '80 MPH is extremely fast' when I heard that because in Australia, most trains travel at well below 80, although there are trains that go at 100 MPH here.

[@techmage89]

Even today, most trains in the US go considerably slower. Averaging 80mph is "high speed" by US standards.

[@saffodils]

@@techmage89 came here to say this! i'd love to live in a US where we invest in mass transit, ppl can take a regular cross-country train, and that train actually reaches a decent speed safely

[@acrspeed]

@@techmage89 80-95 mph is the standard speed for US and Canadian passenger rail. High speed is generally considered 110 mph and up.

[@techmage89]

@@acrspeed That's top speed. Due to issues with track, bridges, and sharp turns, on real routes the average speed is significantly slower. Acela, the "high speed" route run by Amtrak, averages 84mph over its route, even though its top speed is 150mph.

[@tylisirn]

But this is special built rail line, not sharing tracks with regular traffic. Because the supertrain was double wide, it can't run on regular tracks and regular trains can't run on its tracks. It would be extremely stupid to build such an investment to such a slow grade.

And now we have R600 for fridges - essentially propane as your refrigerant. The benefit - no CFCs released into the atmosphere (we are now permitted to vent the refrigerant instead of recovering it like with R-134a, R-12, etc). The cost - having a compressed hydrocarbon stuck inside your refrigerator at all times. (In reality it's a tiny amount - usually less than 50 grams, and would require a decently accurate stoichiometric mix with air to make it flammable anyway.)
