Otto, Rudolf

The Diesel cycle was proposed by Rudolf Diesel in the 1890s. The Diesel cycle as shown in Fig. 3.8 is somewhat similar to the Otto cycle, except that ignition of the fuel-air mixture is caused by spontaneous combustion owing to the high temperature that results from compressing the mixture to a very high pressure. The basic components of the Diesel cycle are the same as those of the Otto cycle, except that the spark plug is replaced by a... 

When in spring 1992 Germar Rudolf sent out the first draft of his Expert Report on the Formation and Detectability of Cyanide Compounds in the Gas Chambers of Auschwitz to a narrow circle of recipients in science and politics, several historians responded with interest. The media, however, received no notice of the existence of the report. Only in spring 1993, when retired Major General Otto Ernst Remer took a later draft of the expert report, provided it with a peppery political preface, and then sent some 1,000 to 2,000 copies to the media, public attorneys, politicians, and scientists, did a certain circle of the Establishment learn of the existence of this report. 

It should not be taken from what I have written that the experience was pleasurable. The accurate words are significance and terror—or awe, in Rudolf Otto s understanding of a peculiar blend of fear and fascination.

Genia and Rudolf Peierls. While American efforts stalled, Peierls and Otto Frisch in England in 1940 worked out the essential theory of a fast-fission uranium bomb fueled with U235 and convinced his British colleagues that it was feasible.

Thianaphthene was discovered in coal tar by Rudolf Weissgerber and Otto Kruber in 1920, after its presence had already been established in brown-coal tar by J.Boes in 1902. 

Several days later he and Conant received a copy of a draft report forwarded from the National Defense Research Committee liaison office in London. The report, prepared by a group codenamed the UD Committee and set up by the British in spring 1940 to study the possibility of developing a nuclear weapon, maintained ftat a sufficiently purified critical mass of uranium-23S could fission even with fast neutrons. Building upon theoretical work on atomic bombs performed by refugee physidsts Rudolf Peierls and Otto Frisch in 1940 and 1941, the MAUD report estimated that a critical mass of...

Germany s troubled international relations notwithstanding, the Institute hardly operated in isolation. In addition to its military contacts, it had ties to industrial research institutes, which often provided samples for structural analysis, as well as to other scientific research facilities. In the early 1940s, for example, Rudolf Kohlhaas moved from Dahlem to Leuna, one of LG. Farben s most modem research, development and production sites. Around 1941, Georg Richard Otto Schultze, a specialist in mineral oil technologies and hydrogenation with professional experience in the U.S., who served as an assistant at the University of Berlin...
