With his filtration model, and filtration unit, dialysis of the entire system was performed. Contamination from the oil, plus contamination caked in pipes and components immersed in oil was removed.Removing friction increases the life of components immersed in oil and that of the oil. After filtration, the oil properties stay similar to new oil, and filtered oil becomes cleaner than new oil. Filtered oil does not have to be discarded for, say, 100 years. Thus, land and air do not get contaminated or polluted.

Convinced that an overseas education with ample opportunities for traveling is superior to a local one, Lam took up a Singapore government scholarship to study in Loughborough, UK. Beginning with the very first winter vacation in Germany, where he travelled solo and almost lost his life on a highway in Cologne, he tried to visit a different country every vacation. Whenever possible, he would stay with locals so as to learn about their culture and way of life, such as working on a kibbutz in Israel, lingering on a farm in Zambia, and trekking from one village to another in the Kelabit Highlands in Sarawak. In the five years covered in this book, he had set foot on five continents and interacted with people of diverse nationalities and ethnic tribes. The experiences had enriched his life beyond the confines of the four walls of a classroom; they constituted a form of education which he considers superior to the conventional approach through books and the internet. He believes that what one learns by rote, one is likely to forget later, but what one has personally experienced, one is likely to remember for life. For this reason, he chose to experience life.

László Almásy is best known for his fictional character in the English Patient movie, but he was a real life desert explorer, one of a handful who were searching out what is in the middle of the last remaining blank spot of the map of the world, the central Libyan Desert. Almásy was particularly interested in the myth of the lost Zerzura Oasis, he organised a number of expeditions to the central Libyan Desert, pioneering the use of aeroplane in desert exploration. He claimed to have identified a valley with vegetation in the Gilf Kebir with the mythical Zerzura, however more importantly he discovered a number of spectacular prehistoric paintings, including the famed Cave of Swimmers. He wrote three books on his travels in Hungarian, all of which appeared in the Library of the Hungarian Geographical Society series. This first book, With Motorcar to the Sudan (1929) describes a 1926 motorcar journey through Egypt and Sudan, his first encounter with Africa. Unlike his later two books, this one contains no dramatic accounts of exploration or discoveries, however it is a well written and amusing travelogue describing his first experiences (and blunders) while driving in the sand with a Steyr VII from Alexandria to Khartoum (the first such accomplishment by an ordinary automobile), then further south to the Dinder for a three week hunting trip. The crossing of the Nubian Desert in Sudan was a prelude to many of his greater desert voyages, and the narrative provides interesting glimpses into Almásy's character and thinking.

FIRST LADIES OF SPEEDDie faszinierende Geschichte der schnellsten Frauen des 20. Jahrhunderts, auf der Straße, im Wasser und in der Luft. Wir möchten die Geschichten und Abenteuer all jener Frauen beschreiben, die sich seit Anfang der Motorisierung gegen alle Widerstände aufgemacht haben um zu zeigen, dass Frauen im Motorsport, ebenso wie in der Fliegerei, in der Lage sind großartiges und nie dagewesenes zu leisten.Diese Frauen waren durch ihre Entschlossenheit und ihren Mut in der Lage sich nicht nur mit den Männern Ihrer Zeit auf Augenhöhe zu messen, sondern neue Rekorde dort aufzustellen wohin die Herren der Schöpfung sich oftmals nicht hin trauten.Gleich fallen uns Namen ein, wie Elli Beinhorn, Amelia Earhart oder die unvergleichliche Clärenore Stinnes.Wer aber erinnert sich noch an Odette Siko, Mildred Bruce oder die erste schwarze Pilotin Bessie Coleman, die durch einen tragischen Fehler ihres Mechanikers ums Leben kam.Bücher und Berichte über die männlichen Helden des Rennsports gibt es tausende, aber nur wenige erzählen die ganze Geschichte. Die der Menschen, die Sport betrieben und Rekorde errungen haben aus Leidenschaft, unabhängig vom Geschlecht des Sportlers.Wir sehen in allen diesen Lebensgeschichten: Das Geschlecht spielt keine Rolle, die Herkunft ist nicht wichtig, das Alter kein Hindernis. Alles was zählt ist die Vision, der Glaube an sich selbst, und der Mut das zu tun was die innere Stimme einem sagt.

Früher war alles besser? Nicht doch.Aber manches schon. In den 90er und 00er Jahren.Rennen, ob legendär oder kontrovers oder beides. Figuren, die Geschichten schrieben. Und Geschichten, die dann erzählt werden.Oder auch: Faszination Formel 1.
