Something that I found incredibly interesting right off the start of our tour was the original first ever Diesel engine. Diesel is a less refined version of gasoline and is used in many larger private/industrial machines. The way Otto Diesel happened to come up with the idea, then pursue it for 20 years and reach success is a great story. I also found it interesting when our tour guide told us about his disappearance and how it was likely the government taking him out. This is ironic as this exact case of a new revolutionary technology getting someone murdered over rights has happened in many cases.

I loved the story of how he saw the lighter work and then recreated it for the engine. I also find it interesting that there were a hit put out on him by the government for the rights of his project.
