THE 10 MOST POLLUTED PLACES IN THE WORLD

 

Travelling around the world is something that makes us know many beautiful places, like the Hawaii Islands, the Caribeans, California, or cities like Rome, London or Paris. These places  are really beautiful aren’t they? But the Earth has two sides. If we can see a lot of amazing places, we can also see very polluted ones, spread all over the world. Pollution has been caused by humans during the latest centuries, because of the industrial development.

HOW TO ESCAPE FROM NORTH KOREA

  

Sadlly,  North Korea isn’t famous for its beautiful landscapes and architecture, but for its infamous regime. North Korea, or D.P.R.K (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is anything but democratic. It is considered the most dangerous country in the world and also the most impenetrable one. I saw several videos about North Korea and all of them they highlight the    strict rules they have about everything from their dressing code, to their hair style, and even about their behaviour before the portraits of the leaders, which are spread all over the country. 

THE PROS AND CONS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY

 

In the world there are many energy sources, but I decided to talk about one of them, nuclear energy. In the last ten years  humans have been trying to save the planet, modifying  their lifestyle. For example, a solution is to produce electric and Hybrid cars to try to decrease the air pollution but this isn’t enough. Many energy sources produce CO2.  So scientists want to find an alternative type of energies that are not pollutant for the environment. 

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE CAR? HERE'S MINE!

 

Everyone, especially supercars and hypercars fans, likes one car more than others. All drivers, I think, have a dream car, a car that they have loved since they were kids.

People’s favourite cars can be a cheap, can be luxury, but their favourite car is the one that makes them happy whenever they drive it. In my opinion,  this is what favourite car means: the car that makes you happy. But let’s talk about me. 

RALLY LEGENDS: LANCIA DELTA INTEGRALE

Maybe it is a forgotten car now, but history doesn’t lie. The Lancia Delta  was born in 1979 as a normal, mediocre car. Giorgetto Giugiaro, a famous Italian designer and engineer, who had already projected the legendary Fiat Panda, created a new car with Lancia, that at first was unsuccessful but time has proven him right.

Between 1979 and 1987 Lancia produced 4 generations of the car, and every year the engineers introduced many upgrades of the engine, suspensions, inside quality and also of the body of the car. Actually, the legendary Delta HF integrale was born only in 1986. The last generation of Delta was the more successful. Producer added another powerful engine (in addition to the 1.3 68HP, 1.5 85HP Gasoline), the new 1.6 liter engine, supercharged by a turbo and with about 170 HP.

2-STROKE VS 4-STROKE ENGINES

You may have noticed I’m fond of cars and engines. That’s also why I’d like to be an engineer one day. Today I’m going to describe the most common types of car engines. You may have heard the terms 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines before, but do you really know all of the differences in their operation? I hope my post and the video below may help if you don't. 

The combustion engines are the most common type of engine with regard to means of transport like motorcycles, cars, busses and trucks but they are used also for small power tools like lawn mowers and chainsaws. In one of my articles in the blog I mentioned how they work but these two types have a small difference that change how they are made and used. How it works? A piston connected to the crankshaft by means of a connecting rod, flows up and down in a cylinder thanks to the force generated by the explosions of a mixture of air and gasoline. The connecting rod has the task of transforming the piston motion into a rotary motion.  But let’s talk about the differences about 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines.

HERE WE GO LAMBORGHINI!

Lamborghini is one of the most popular car brands in the world. It produces supercars like Huracan and Aventador but in its history they also produced other types of vehicles. But when and how  was Lamborghini founded?

THE MYTH OF ANFIELD

Anfield is a football stadium built in 1884 in Liverpool. Anfield could be considered a stadium like many others but that isn’t true.

Today  the Reds play football in Anfield Stadium and if we go back in time we can understand that Anfield isn’t only a stadium but also an amazing  legend.

Liverpool F.C, founded in 1892, has always been a great team and it has a great history, of which the stadium is the “main character”.

ENGINES FOR THE FUTURE

One of the most important problems in the world is air pollution. Industrial  production, transports and many human activities essential to welfare and survival pollute our planet. So we need to find new ways to produce things and to travel.

In this article I’m focusing on the automotive industry and what it’s been invented to reduce emissions.

THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD

The world is full of amazing places, cities and also old building that are very important tourist attraction but seven of  them  are considered the most beautiful in the world. In 2000 a Suisse society called “New Open World Corporation” organized an online survey to choose the most beautiful seven places in the world. About 90 million of people parteciped in the competition. The list of  wonders isn’t approved by UNESCO but the competition was successful and in 2004 NOWC got results and in 2007 the list was completed.

What are the seven world wonders?

THE DARK SIDE OF FOOTBALL

Every sport has its legends, icons and a dark side that people don’t know. Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan are famous basket players, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are tennis legends. Soccer has its own icons too,  like Cristiano Ronaldo or Leo Messi, but all of these sports have a hidden side that are not as popular as their bright side. We think that the life of a football player is easy: stellar salaries, Ferraris, big houses and expensive holidays and many of us think that they are heroes or aliens.
