En este episodio de Días Extraños exploramos la extraordinaria capacidad humana para complicarlo todo. Desde emperadores que prefieren jugar a las tiendas antes que gobernar, hasta reyes cleptómanos que roban relojes a primeros ministros en plena guerra mundial; desde el error diplomático que costó la vida a 15 millones de personas, hasta la guerra que comenzó por un partido de fútbol. Y para rematar, la historia de Thomas Midgley Jr., el brillante inventor que, sin pretenderlo, causó más daño al planeta que cualquier otro ser vivo a través de dos inventos aparentemente revolucionarios. Una celebración del caos, la incompetencia y la imprevisibilidad que nos hace... demasiado humanos. Y además: Pensamiento de Grupo, con Rubén Olmeda. Música y Teosofia, con luis Antonio Muñoz. Los aranceles de Trump, con Daniel Arias-Aranda. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Thomas Midgley Jr. fue un ingeniero brillante pero controvertido, famoso por inventar el plomo en la gasolina y los CFC, dos de los peores contaminantes del siglo XX. Irónicamente, murió estrangulado por una de sus propias invenciones: un sistema de poleas que diseñó para levantarse de la cama.

Ezúttal - hallgatói javaslatra - Mazur készült fel egy kicsit lehúzó, de nagyon érdekes témával. Egy olyan emberről mesélt, aki sokat tett azért, hogy a Föld rosszabb hely legyen, ráadásul ezt részben tudatosan tette. Nyilván nem egyedül dolgozott, de ma mégis leginkább az ő nevéhez kötjük az autók és a hűtőszekrények mérgeit. Na, ő Thomas Midgley Jr., akinek szerencsére azért volt egy nagy hatású kritikusa is. És persze a "lehúzó" jelzőt amolyan KK-s értelemben értjük: a folyamatos röhögcsélés azért biztosított, pláne ha Mazur menet közben szerkeszti saját magát.

Send us a Text Message.Thomas Midgley Jr. (May 18, 1889 – November 2, 1944) was an American mechanical and chemical engineer. He played a major role in developing leaded gasoline (tetraethyl lead) and some of the first chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), better known in the United States by the brand name Freon; both products were later banned from common use due to their harmful impact on human health and the environment. He was granted more than 100 patents over the course of his career.Midgley contracted polio in 1940 and was left disabled; in 1944, he was found strangled to death by a device he devised to allow him to get out of bed unassisted. It was reported to the public that he had been accidentally killed by his own invention, but his death was declared by the coroner to be a suicide.Read More about Thomas Midgley Jr.Interesting Video: The Man Who Accidentally Killed The Most People In HistorySPONSOR THIS PODCAST Podcasting takes time and money.

Gdybym zapytał "kto jest odpowiedzialny za najwięcej zgonów w historii?", jestem pewien, że otrzymałbym wiele odpowiedzi. Wielu z Was zapewne wspomniałoby o straszliwych dyktatorach XX wieku – Hitlerze, Stalinie i Mao. Inni mogą sięgać dalej w historii, do przywódców wielkich armii i sił najeźdźczych – takich jak Czyngis-chan czy Aleksander Wielki. Możesz również wspomnieć o królach i królowych różnych krajów europejskich. Kraje te – zwłaszcza Wielka Brytania, Hiszpania, Portugalia, Francja, a także Holandia, Belgia i Niemcy – skolonizowały duże części świata. Nie tylko bezpośrednio zabiły setki tysięcy ludzi w wyniku wojen i konfliktów, ale także rozprzestrzeniły choroby na nowe części świata, w wyniku czego zginęły miliony. Jednak jedna możliwa (być może nawet prawdopodobna) odpowiedź na to pytanie – kto jest odpowiedzialny za najwięcej zgonów w historii ludzkości? – to ktoś, o kim niewielu z Was kiedykolwiek słyszało. To mężczyzna z USA. Inżynier i wynalazca. Osoba, która pomogła przekształcić amerykański i światowy przemysł samochodowy. Osoba, której praca pozwoliła nam utrzymać chłód w naszych domach latem i mieć lodówki do przechowywania żywności. Został odznaczony medalami przez organizacje naukowe, był prezesem i przewodniczącym Amerykańskiego Towarzystwa Chemicznego, posiadał honorowe tytuły naukowe przyznane mu za swoją pracę, był członkiem Narodowej Akademii Nauk Stanów Zjednoczonych.#Midgley #freon #CFC #pb95 #etylina #benzynaołowiowaTo jest nowy podcast, bardzo potrzebuję :) Twojej pozytywnej recenzji na Spotify, Apple Podcasts czy Google Podcasts, albo na YouTube.

Thomas Midgley Jr. invented two things that were used all over the world. Firstly, he invented leaded gasoline. This helped car engines operate more efficiently, but at the cost of spewing poisonous gas everywhere. The second invention is Chlorofluorocarbons or "CFCs." These substances, which were sold under the brand name Freon, had widespread applications in refrigerators and aerosols. But it eventually discovered that these CFCs were eating away at the ozone layer in Earth's atmosphere. Ozone depletion allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface, which can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. The fact that a single individual invented both of these things which were slowly killing humanity before they were phased out, led Environmental historian J. R. McNeill to say that Midgley "had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history." Before Thomas Midgley died in 1944, he didn't see himself as destructive. Because the scientific community showered him with praise and prizes and accolades during his lifetime. And he didn't even have a reason to think he was doing anything bad because the government regulators who were tasked with protecting the American public gave his inventions a pass. This story represents a complete failure of tech entrepreneurs to consider the adverse impacts that their inventions might have, a failure of the scientific community to check one of their own, and a failure of supposed protectors of the public interest to do their jobs. And all of these failures basically meant that the generation after Midgley was forced to clean up his mess.

Ero in vacanza, stavo facendo benzina, benzinaSP, come al solito pilota automatico, prendo la pompa, la inserisco, faccio benzina, 20 litri che costano decisamente più del necessario e riparto. Essendo in vacanza, la testa ha degli sprazzi di libertà, e in uno di quei buchi cognitivi, ma SP che cosa vuol dire? Vado su internet, cerco, sp significa senza piombo. Ma perchè tolgono il piombo dalla benzina? In realtà vado avanti a suon di hyperlink e mi rendo conto, che la benzina è naturalmente senza piombo, e allora perchè scriverlo? Che senso ha? Lo stesso senso di scrivere sull'acqua naturale "senza lattosio e senza glutine" Continuando però incontro un nome, Thomas Midgley Jr. Leggo un po' su questa persona, e scopro che il nostro Tommy nella sua vita ha fatto tre scoperte, tre invenzioni che hanno cambiato il corso dell'umanità per sempre e hanno distrutto quello che noi oggi chiamiamo futuro. Perchè il surriscaldamento globale, l'effetto serra, molti dei problemi cardiovascolari e dei disturbi di apprendimento e comporamtno che oggi sono purtroppo diventati la normalità prima non esistevano. La storia ha aspettato Midgley per dare il suo peggio e noi oggi, dobbiamo rincorrerla al contrario per capire come trovare una soluzione. La nostra generazione deve correre ai ripari per sistemare una soluzione che si è generata per il solito motivo del profitto a tutti i costi.

Thomas Midgley Jr., a brilliant scientist working for Dayton, Ohio research companies in the 1920, invented two world-changing products. He discovered a lead additive could stop the destructing knocking noise prevalent in early auto engines. And he discovered a supergas that allowed average homes to safely have refrigerators and air conditioners. It wasn't until decades after Midgley's death that his revolutionary creations were destroying the planet, and the life upon it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Thomas Midgley Jr came close to destroying the world with his invention of CFCs, but we managed to survive. This time he's back to finish the job. Because why have one planet-ending invention when you can have two? Here's the story about how the same guy also invented leaded gasoline and somehow managed to be even deadlier the second time around.

If you go far enough southwest, eventually you'll get to Jamaica. Just don't tarry in the Philippines.

Thomas Midgley Jr, invented great things, innovations that almost destroyed the planet. He didn't mean to, but promise brings peril..

Esta es la historia de como una mera casualidad, hizo que nuestro protagonista se convirtiera en el mayor asesino del mundo. Y no una, si no 2 veces. Esta historia empieza en Detroit en 1908. Allí, sobre el puente de Belle Isle, el coche de una mujer se cala el coche, debido a la pobre calidad de la gasolina que causaba unas explosiones que terminaban degradando el motor.El caso es que el automovilista que la sigue se baja y se ofrece para volver a arrancar su coche. En esa época sólo hay una manera de arrancar un coche, usar la manivela. Lo consigue, pero al ponerse en marcha el motor, el retorno de la manivela golpea a Carter con tal fuerza que le revienta la mandíbula. Fallecería poco tiempo después de las heridas. Vaya por Dios. El caso es que alguien contrató entonces a un joven ingeniero, Thomas Midgley Jr. para que encontrase la fórmula de una gasolina que previniese el picado de biela, y de paso hacer un motor de arranque. Tras probarlo con casi todo, literalmente, sólo con el etanol (alcohol, básicamente) conseguía el efecto deseado. Pero era considerado caro y se necesitaba un 10 % de etanol en cada volumen de gasolina. Buscaban algo más barato. Algunas de las soluciones eran prometedoras, pero no convencían por precio o por...olor, como la combinación de telurio e hidróxido de sodio. Finalmente, el 3 de diciembre de 1921, Midgley da con la solución, el tetraetilo de plomo. Es barato de fabricar, abundante y no tiene olor. Entusiasmado se lo comunica a Kettering sabiendo que iban a ganar montañas y montañas de dinero. Y... Bueno si quieres saber por qué este hombre con cara de bonachón se convirtió en el mayor asesino del mundo... ¡Dale al "Play"!

This week we're looking at inventions gone horribly wrong. Olivia tells the story of the “one-man climate disaster,” aka the wildly successful 20th-century inventor Thomas Midgley Jr., whose creations caused widespread lead-induced madness and the near destruction of the ozone layer. Thanks to a bit of showmanship and barely any regulations, his inventions ended up in everyday vehicles and homes for decades after his untimely death. Then, Elise digs into “forever chemicals” in period underwear, the little-known class-action lawsuit against Thinx underwear, and how to advocate for safer products. Other topics include ethical inventing, the lead-crime hypothesis, and what we're listening to. Donate to abortion funds!

Trditev je resnična 2. Obubožani kemik Robert Chesebrough je kot izhod v sili našel službo na naftni ploščadi, kjer je opazil, da si delavci z ostanki nafte, podobnimi parafinu, mažejo rane. Nekaj mesecev pozneje je patentiral vazelin in obogatel. Trditev je resnična 3. Kampus srednje šole na Beverly Hillsu v Kaliforniji je do leta 2017 imel ob šoli svojo mini naftno vrtino. Z njo so zaslužili približno 300 tisoč dolarjev letno. Trditev je resnična 4. Večkrat nagrajeni ameriški kemik in izumitelj, Thomas Midgley Jr, velja za človeka, ki je imel večji vpliv na okolje kot katero koli drugo živo bitje v zemeljski zgodovini. Gospod "okoljska katastrofa" je izumil "osvinčen bencin". Trditev je resnična 5. V Turkmenistanu ste kot lastnik vozniškega dovoljenja upravičeni do 120 litov brezplačnega goriva mesečno. Trditev je izmišljena

In this episode, host Gabe Filippelli explains the science of lead's health effects and tells us the story of Thomas Midgley Jr. and Clair Patterson, who respectively put lead into and got lead out of gasoline. 

Leaded gasoline seemed like a great idea at the time, but it turns out that aerosolizing a neurotoxin is bad for human health and society as a whole. After a brief project car update we tell the story of tetraethyllead (at 27 min), get Zach's ideas for running a car company (at 1 hour), and hear Bryant's field report from the recent 24 Hours of Lemons race in Colorado (at 1:21).Sources:https://www.thedrive.com/news/42203/leaded-gasoline-finally-banned-worldwide-after-last-country-uses-up-its-supply https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2017/06/01/new-evidence-that-lead-exposure-increases-crime/ https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2016/02/lead-exposure-gasoline-crime-increase-children-health/ The Dollop podcast about Thomas Midgley Jr. https://allthingscomedy.com/podcasts/393---thomas-midgley Email us with tips, stories, and unhinged rants:carsandcomrades@gmail.com RSS feed: https://media.rss.com/carsandcomrades/feed.xmlFollow us on social media:https://www.instagram.com/cars_and_comrades_podcast/https://twitter.com/CarsAndComradeshttps://www.facebook.com/Cars-Comrades-Podcast-101908671824034https://www.reddit.com/user/CarsAndComradeshttps://www.hexbear.net/u/CarsAndComradesAll music from the free album Polygondwanaland by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard:https://kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com/polygondwanaland

When you think of the world's most dangerous person, who do you think of? Genghis Khan? Stalin? Hitler?! Try a gas-huffing, pseudo-chemist that gave an entire generation lead poisoning and singlehandedly melted a hole in the atmosphere. Midgley created a ecological Frankenstein's monster, but did his smooth-brained science cause his undoing?

We're back in the same room for better or worse. Listen to us catch up, apologize, and then give a brief overview of the world's most dangerous (debatably) General Motors employee.

Where did lead come from and how did it become widespread in our cities? A deeper look into the history of industrial contamination. I discuss General Motors, Thomas Midgley Jr, and the politics of corporate backed science.

Thomas Midgley Jr. was undoubtedly a great inventor, yet he was far from a great man. Midgley was recognised by J. R. McNeill, a pioneer of the study of environmental history, as having “had more impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history“. Midgley's inventions have contributed significantly to the 400,000 deaths from lead in the USA each year - with more around the world. On top of this his invention of Chlorofluorocarbons have wrecked our atmosphere In this I examine: Midgley's background, how he came to invent leaded gasoline, how the scientific and regulatory community reacted, and what Midgley did next.

Kun puhutaan maailman kauheuksista, niin yleensä puhutaan miljoonittain ihmisiä surmauttaneista diktaattoreista, ydinaseiden valmistajista tai kansanryhmiä toisiaan vastaan kiihottaneista uskonnollisista johtajista. Tässä yhteydessä kannattaa muistaa myös Thomas Midgley Jr. Vuonna 1889 syntynyt Midgley oli yhdysvaltalainen insinööri ja kemisti. Ihmiskunnan ja ekosfäärin ykkösvihollinen. 1920-luvun alussa hän keksi lisätä lyijyä bensiiniin. Lyijylle altistuminen liikenteessä on tutkitusti aiheuttanut aivovaurioita kymmenille miljoonille ihmisille ja mm. lisännyt valtavasti väkivaltaista käyttäytymistä. 1920-luvun lopulla Midgley keksi freonin, joka NASA:n mukaan olisi lähes viimeistellyt maailmanlopun. Jos emme olisi huomanneet lopettaneet freonin käyttöä, vuonna 2065 otsonikerros olisi ollut olematon ja uv-säteilyä olisi ollut 650 prosenttia enempi. Erehdysekspertti Raimo Tyykiluodon vieraana on Helsingin ympäristöjohtaja Esa Nikunen. Hän on aiemmin toiminut Turvallisuus- ja kemikaalivirasto Tukesin johtajana ja lähes 20 vuotta johtotehtävissä Suomen ympäristökeskuksessa. Nikunen mm. toteaa, että myös Helsingissä typenoksidi-päästöt ovat paikoitellen liian korkeat ja on mahdollista, että Volkswagen-kohun myötä myös Helsingissä joudutaan rajoittamaan liikennettä sekä tarkistamaan vähäpäästöisille autoille annettua alennusta parkkimaksuista.
