...utilize the Haber-process nitrogen Dr. Bosch designed a mechanism for the industrial production of ammonia, combining air-nitrogen with hydrogen under a pressure of 200 atmospheres at a temperature of 500-600° C. in the presence of a catalyst. As manager of the Badische Anilin-& Soda-Fabrik he built the Oppau ammonia works, without which Germany, cut off from nitrate-producing Chile, might have lost the War in 1914 by running out of munitions. (He was instrumental in perfecting the formula for making saltpetre from ammonia.) In 1917 he built the great Leuna Works to supply hard-pressed...
...used in refrigeration, etc., or further transformed by the Ostwald process (another catalytic), into nitric acid. The Haber process was the industrial and agricultural mainstay of Germany in the War. Shut off from her tremendous imports of fertilizers and explosives, her biggest dye-works, the Badische Anilin und Soda-Fabrik, remodeled its plant to manufacture fixed nitrogen and nitrates, and the Central Empires became chemically independent of the rest of the world...
Navigation. A giant submarine cruiser of more than 7,000 tons, invented by Prof. Oswald Flamm, of Germany, has been built in model by the Augsburg-Nürnberger Machin-fabrik. The boat is heartshaped, point upward, with the keel in the groove of the heart, like an inverted V. The principal advantage is rapid and even submersion, the stability depending on the form and the distribution of pressure. It can submerge in 30 seconds without turning a degree, can cruise 20,000 miles and develop a speed of 23 knots an hour. It is 525 ft. long...
