Diesel engine, Mustard gas, and Synthetic fertilizer.

Depending om what you mean by "inventing synthetic fertilizer", couldn't the invention be either Norwegian (Birkeland-Eyde), German (Haber), or English (Thomas)?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Haber, he is generally credited with creating the process. Also mustard gas.

[–] dufkm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, obviously Haber is credited with creating the Haber process. As for inventing synthetic fertilizer, I'm going for it being a Norwegian invention with the Birkeland-Eyde process.

I guess this is a matter of inventing it on a base level and making it worthwhile. Just cause ya domesticated the horse doesnt mean ya can ride it.
