Apparently all to often the red glow on the horizon is from a wind 
turbine gear box fire. Dow Corning (local company) is working on a solution.

Car related item: DC made a molybdenum disulfide engine oil additive 
(molykote) that provided wear protection up to 500,000 psi. I wonder 
how  molykote stacks up against ZDDP? I don't think they make it 
anymore but what they typically do is spin off a new invention to 
another company to make and market. So it may be available 
somewhere.  Anyone know?
