World's first steam powered clock
The insides of this clock is where the magic begins....
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.
Gastown is the original settlement that became the core of the creation of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Currently, it is a national historic site and a neighbourhood in the northwest end of Downtown Eastside, adjacent to Downtown Vancouver.

The Nachtigall colliery is located at the entrance to the idyllic Muttental in Witten. Ruhr mining began here more than 300 years ago. First, horizontal tunnels were driven into the mountain to get to the “black gold”, and then vertical shafts.
Burial of Sydney’s Western Distributor moves a step closer.

To me, at least, one of the most frequently seen ships on the River Thames: my first experience of it (as shown on Flickr...) is 2003, when it was orange; later in part orange, part royal blue, now as here, which is quite sleek and very dashing.
I've very limited info about Distributor; it was built in 1997 but I don't know where,
Shot (yesterday) as it passed between Gravesend and Tilbury Docks it shows on Marine Traffic now as moored a short distance down river of Denton Wharf.

D'ICI À 2030, TESLA PRÉVOIT DE PRODUIRE PRÈS DE 20 MILLIONS DE VÉHICULES ÉLECTRIQUES... PAR AN !!!
Un volume qui devrait accompagner une tendance mondiale, portée par des réglementations visant à restreindre puis à interdire la vente d'une partie des véhicules thermiques.
Mais cette évolution ne se fera pas sans poser un problème majeur, qui risque d'affecter de nombreux aspects de notre vie quotidienne.
Or, pour alimenter des milliers... pardon, des millions de véhicules électriques, il faut beaucoup d'électricité !!!
Selon PG&E, distributeur d'énergie pour une grande partie de la Californie, la demande pourrait augmenter de 70 % durant deux prochaines décennies.
Le cabinet McKinsey, quant à lui, prévoit une augmentation de 100 % pour l'ensemble des États-Unis d'ici à 2050. Or, au pays de l'oncle Sam, la production n'a augmenté que de 1 % chaque année depuis le début du siècle, une échelle que l'on retrouve par ailleurs dans d'autres pays développés.
Un véritable casse-tête pour Elon Musk, qui prévoit déjà d'importantes pénuries d'électricité dues à la faiblesse de l'offre au cours des deux prochaines années. « Je n'insisterai jamais assez sur le fait que nous avons besoin de plus d'électricité », a-t-il déclaré lors d'une conférence sur l'énergie. « Quelle que soit la quantité d'électricité dont vous pensez avoir besoin, il nous en faut plus ».
Il existe un autre secteur, dont je vous parle de temps en temps sur cette galerie et qui aura besoin de beaucoup d'électricité dans les années à venir …
L'utilisation croissante de l'intelligence artificielle, et en particulier de programmes tels que ChatGPT, promet de consommer de plus en plus d'énergie et de ressources à mesure qu'elle évoluera et se généralisera !
Pour le milliardaire sud-africain, des pénuries pourraient freiner le développement du secteur, ce qui est une mauvaise nouvelle à la fois pour ses projets d'IA, mais aussi pour d'autres aspects de ses activités !
RESTE À SAVOIR SI L'UN DES ÊTRES HUMAINS LES PLUS INFLUENTS DE LA PLANÈTE PARVIENDRA, COMME IL L'A FAIT AVEC L'AUTOMOBILE ET LE SPATIAL, À DONNER UN NOUVEL ÉLAN AU SECTEUR DE L'ÉLECTRICITÉ... 🤔

BY 2030, TESLA PLANS TO PRODUCE NEARLY 20 MILLION ELECTRIC VEHICLES... PER YEAR !!!
A volume that should accompany a global trend, driven by regulations aimed at restricting and then prohibiting the sale of some internal combustion vehicles.
But this development will not happen without posing a major problem, which is likely to affect many aspects of our daily lives.
But to power thousands...sorry, millions of electric vehicles, you need a lot of electricity!!!
According to PG&E, energy distributor for much of California, demand could increase by 70% over the next two decades.
McKinsey, meanwhile, predicts a 100% increase for the whole of the United States by 2050. However, in the land of Uncle Sam, production has only increased by 1% each year. since the beginning of the century, a scale that is also found in other developed countries.
A real headache for Elon Musk, who is already forecasting major electricity shortages due to weak supply over the next two years. "I can't stress enough that we need more electricity," he told an energy conference. "However much electricity you think you need, we need more."
There is another sector, which I tell you about from time to time on this gallery and which will need a lot of electricity in the years to come...
The increasing use of artificial intelligence, and in particular programs such as ChatGPT, promises to consume more and more energy and resources as it evolves and becomes more widespread!
For the South African billionaire, shortages could hamper the development of the sector, which is bad news both for his AI projects, but also for other aspects of his business!
IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL HUMAN BEINGS ON THE PLANET WILL SUCCEED, AS HE DID WITH THE AUTOMOBILE AND THE SPACE INDUSTRY, IN GIVING A NEW IMPETUS TO THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR ... 🤔

CYXX 2104, a GP30, is one of two switchers present at the Conrad Yelvington Distributors in Jacksonville, FL. The other switcher, carrying the same paint scheme, is an Alco RS1 rebuild of some sort which they don't seem to use quiet often. As usual, I did a little trip through the woods and some shrubs to find a spot to catch these guys switching. I found this spot and caught CYXX 2104 push a string of hoppers that had just been unloaded onto a different track. In the background you can see some of Downtown Jacksonville.
The lives of planetary nebulae are often chaotic, from the death of their parent star to the scattering of its contents far out into space. Captured here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, ESO 455-10 is one such planetary nebula, located in the constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion).
The oblate shells of ESO 455-10, previously held tightly together as layers of its central star, not only give this planetary nebula its unique appearance, but also offer information about the nebula. Seen in a field of stars, the distinct asymmetrical arc of material over the north side of the nebula is a clear sign of interactions between ESO 455-10 and the interstellar medium.
The interstellar medium is the material — consisting of matter and radiation — between star systems and galaxies. The star at the centre of ESO 455-10 allows Hubble to see the interaction with the gas and dust of the nebula, the surrounding interstellar medium, and the light from the star itself. Planetary nebulae are thought to be crucial in galactic enrichment as they distribute their elements, particularly the heavier metal elements produced inside a star, into the interstellar medium which will in time form the next generation of stars.

CYXX 2109 is a former Pennsylvania Railroad GP30. Unused on the weekends, they normally operate 6am-2pm M-F. Conrad Yelvington is largest distributor of aggregate in the state of Florida. Each year they move more than 5 million tons through a network of rail served terminals.
I took a couple this afternoon after getting off work and figured I'd share them straight away due to the juxtaposition with yesterdays post. On my way through Gilbert I happened upon some well lit Hamms signage and pulled off the road for a quickie. 5 degrees below zero.
