This soundness like a grade 10 science experiment from the 70's. Why are we only seeing something like this now ? Simplicity at its best.
🇯🇵⚡🌊 Le Japon a mis au point une nouvelle façon de produire de l’électricité… simplement en mélangeant de l’eau salée et de l’eau douce, et cette technologie est utilisée dans une centrale située à Fukuoka.
Cette centrale unique n’a besoin ni de soleil, ni de vent, ni de carburant. Elle utilise ce qu’on appelle « l’énergie bleue ». Lorsque l’eau de mer rencontre l’eau d’un fleuve, la différence de salinité crée naturellement de l’énergie.
À l’intérieur, d’extrêmement fines membranes séparent l’eau salée d’un côté et l’eau douce de l’autre. Les ions, ces minuscules particules issues du sel, traversent la membrane pour rejoindre l’eau douce. Leur mouvement génère de l’électricité, que la centrale récupère.
Comme elle ne dépend que de l’eau de mer et de l’eau des rivières, l’installation fonctionne 24 h/24. Elle est silencieuse, ne nécessite aucune machine en mouvement et ne rejette aucune pollution dans l’air.
Des milliers de membranes sont empilées les unes sur les autres, formant autant de petites « batteries ». Ensemble, elles produisent une énergie stable capable d’alimenter les communautés proches.
C’est une technologie idéale pour les îles et les régions bordées de rivières : compacte, fiable par tous les temps et entièrement renouvelable.
Deux eaux qui se rencontrent… et une électricité propre pour l’avenir. 💚

Apparently Stelco is not fulfilling existing domestic orders for rolled steel……. While laying off workers.
Both Cascadia and Honda have been trying to buy product, but Cleveland Cliffs CEO is rejecting the orders.
This is politics, not business.

This is such a great story
La reine Elizabeth se promenait près de chez elle à Balmoral avec son garde du corps lorsqu'ils tombèrent sur un groupe de touristes américains. Ces derniers engagèrent la conversation avec elle, sans la moindre idée de qui ils avaient en face d'eux.
Au bout d'un moment, ils lui demandèrent si elle avait déjà rencontré la reine. Sans se trahir, elle répondit : « Non », puis désigna son garde et ajouta : « Mais lui, oui. » Les touristes éclatèrent de rire, persuadés qu'elle plaisantait.
Avant de partir, ils voulurent une photo. La reine les prit en photo avec son garde, puis ils échangèrent les places pour que le garde puisse photographier les touristes avec elle. Ils n'avaient toujours pas la moindre idée qu'elle était la reine.
Tandis que le groupe s'éloignait, elle sourit à son garde et dit : « J'adorerais voir leur réaction quand ils montreront les photos à leurs amis en Amérique. »

Sodium Citrate is the secret ingredient to make any cheese into smooth, creamy nacho cheese sauce.
Coincidentally, Sodium Citrate's chemical formula is Na₃C₆H₅O₇.

In 1970, a 23-year-old physics student at Imperial College London found himself at a life-altering crossroads.
Brian May was deep into his doctoral research on cosmic dust—specifically the zodiacal dust cloud, the tiny particles that drift through the solar system and scatter sunlight. His PhD was well underway, and a promising academic career in astrophysics lay ahead.
But there was another path calling him.
May was also the lead guitarist of a newly signed rock band named Queen. With a record deal secured and tours on the horizon, the band’s momentum was building fast. Faced with an impossible choice between the guitar and the telescope, May made his decision: he paused his studies and bet everything on music.
Queen’s ascent was meteoric. By the mid-1970s, they had become a global phenomenon. Timeless anthems like “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Will Rock You” exploded onto the charts, while May’s iconic homemade guitar, the Red Special, helped define the band’s legendary sound. Stadiums sold out worldwide, and millions of albums flew off the shelves.
Yet throughout his rock stardom, May never fully let go of his scientific passion. Even at the height of Queen’s fame, he stayed connected to astrophysics—reading journals, attending lectures when possible, and maintaining contact with his former supervisor, Professor Michael Rowan-Robinson, who had once told him: “You can always come back and finish.”
Thirty-six years after stepping away, in 2006, May decided the time had finally come. He reached out to Rowan-Robinson, and together they revived the long-dormant project. Though the field had moved forward and his original data needed updating, his early observations still held real scientific value.
Balancing his ongoing music career with late-night research sessions, May updated his work, incorporated new findings, and refined his analysis. In 2007, at the age of 60, Imperial College London officially awarded him a PhD in astrophysics—not an honorary title, but one earned through rigorous research and peer review.
Dr. Brian May had finally completed what he started more than three decades earlier.
His journey is a powerful reminder that passion has no expiration date. Whether on stage under stadium lights or studying the dust between the planets, Brian May proved it’s never too late to finish what you began.
