Prototype Rover gas turbine motor car, JET 1, 1946 - 1950. The car itself is a standard Rover 75 saloon, converted to an open two seat body and having Girling disc brakes on all four wheels. The engine unit is a two-shaft Rover T.8 gas turbine which develops 200 H.P. at 40,000 compressor r.p.m. Neither a conventional clutch or gearbox are used. The drive is taken directly from the power turbine shaft to the differential rear axle.

Original pilot Bessemer converter from which the first cast of steel was poured at the works of the Barrow Haematite Steel Company Ltd., Barrow-in-Furness, in May 1865
Sir Henry Bessemer (1813-1898) was an English inventor and engineer who invented a cheap process for maufacturing steel. He patented a process by which molten pig iron was converted to steel by blowing air through it in a Bessemer converter.This removed most of the impurities and no extra fuel was required, because the carbon, oxidised during the blow, generated great heat. Establishing a steelworks in Sheffield, England, Bessemer manufactured guns and, later, steel rails.

View of the Science City on top of the Haleakala. A pity it is not open for public. Lot's of clouds that day, but the summit was cloud free.
Today is all about the science fair! from setting up, to judging... to take down and even parent teacher conferences in between... I'm spending the whole day at the school. Don't mind a bit, either.

Colourful science
Add several drops of food colouring to the surface of a plate of milk. Then touch the milk with a cotton bud covered with washing up liquid or bubble bath. Immediately the colours in the milk start to swirl around, and provide an entertaining show for a couple of minutes.
The detergent interferes with the emulsion of fat droplets and milk proteins in the milk - it binds to both the fat and the liquid components. It also alters the surface tension of the milk.
Time for some kitchen science .. try comparing different types of milk or milk substitutes, and testing the detergent effects of different beauty products.
