Hunter Norton Backstory Trailer Analysis

As a rule, the sons of miners follow the occupation of their fathers. Once Norton’s father died, and his mother also likely dead by then too, he had no other choice but to become a miner if he wanted to survive. Especially with how poor they likely were, Norton’s father (and mother) likely left almost nothing for their son, forcing him to work hard to support himself from a young age.

Based on Norton’s comment about living like a “rat” for 20 years, as he is 28 in the present, Norton’s father potentially died when he was 8 (his mother potentially died before then), leaving him an orphan.

A Mine Regulation Act in 1872 prevented children under the age of 12 from working underground. Until then, he would likely have been kept to surface work, such as:

Sorting and transporting materials

Loading and unloading transports

Assisting with general maintenance and cleaning

Delivering messages

Etc…

An Educational Act in 1870, which applied to England and Wales, made schooling compulsory for boys between the ages of 5 and 10, while an Act in 1872 applying to Scotland made school compulsory for kids between 5 and 13.

Once he reached the age of 12, the Regulation Act in 1872 would continued to limit his work hours, which prevented boys between 12 and 16 from working more than 54 hours in 1 week or 10 hours in 1 day. It also required them to have 8 to 12 hour breaks between “periods of employment” (defined as starting when they leave the surface and ending when they return to the surface).

Once he was old enough, regular miners were expected to work at least 12 hour shifts (though this varied from mine to mine) on weekdays. And we know from Norton’s deduction 2 that he worked longer than any of his coworkers, while his 3rd letter states, as a habit, he enters the mines at least 30 minutes before the others.

Conditions in the mine were hot, musty, and cramped (as mine owners didn’t want to spend extra to make them bigger), increasing the chance of accidents. We can actually see just how narrow the tunnels usually were in the trailer.

Miners also worked in complete darkness except for lighting they had to buy themselves. In fact, they had to buy much of their own equipment.

Unfortunately, wages for miners were incredibly low back then. Miners were paid by the quality of what they produced rather than by the hour, giving owners plenty of ways to reduce how they could pay their miner (including by lying about the quality or rigging the scales).

The average wage of coal miners in the 1880s was somewhere between 3s (s = shillings) and 5s per day, with around 4s being closer to the normal, and 5 only if you were lucky. 4 shillings was about $1.20. Generally though wages varied greatly in different districts. After spending on equipment, food, and rent, they could be left with maybe no more than 1s.

Going back to the trailer, it says “Blasting Agent – Mercury (II) Fulminate”. This is an explosive compound made from mercury, nitric acid, and ethanol. It was commonly used as a primary explosive in percussion caps and detonators during the 19th century. When struck or subjected to a shock, it would rapidly decompose and produce a violent explosion. Its role was to initiate the ignition or detonation of the main explosive charge, such as dynamite.

This is the stuff that we see him pouring into the dynamite.

Continuing, we see Norton smiling at a coin, but then his wrist is crushed by the other miners, who steal it from him, taunting him to try to take it back.

Norton actually smiling at the coin helps show Norton’s desire to get out of poverty, an idea he emphasizes later when he describes poverty as a “curse”.

But as we see in the Famitsu Article, people didn’t understand why he tried so hard. It “intimidated” them. Then in Norton’s 2nd letter as well as in this trailer, we see that he was ridiculed by his coworkers. They didn’t think it was possible for him to achieve such a goal. This is reflected with how essentially, at that time “Englishmen recognized if he is in a certain social grade, he is likely to remain there. He’ll never reach a higher class, and didn’t rebel”. Each class “cheerfully” accepted “the lot which providence has assigned” to them.

Norton was different though. He says in the trailer “I once thought the same” after it talks about sons of miners became miners themselves.

He may have initially accepted the same thing everyone else did, but things likely changed over time, the longer he was forced to live this sort of life.

There’s also a good chance part of his change was from working with people like Benny. He learns from them to improve himself (and hopefully improve his chance at earning more), but he also sees how these old miners are, which emphasizes in his brain he doesn’t want to end up like them. He doesn’t want to end up in hospice or stuck in poverty his whole life like they did, just waiting for the day they die.

Norton worked hard, harder and longer than everyone else, in the hopes eventually this would be enough to improve his life, to make it even slightly close to what most would consider a comfortable life, even if it meant only the basics. But it wasn’t enough. The mine owners were greedy. The other miners were all in it only for themselves. His wages were miniscule, and his daily and weekly expenses pretty great. Especially with how back in that time period, mine owners had ways where they attempted to keep their employees indebted to them, to force them to keep working for them, as well as improve their own personal profits as much as possible.

Norton was surrounded by these sorts of people forced to live in such a cruel environment, watching the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This is reflected in his 2nd letter where he says “This is simply unfair. The poor find it difficult to lead a comfortable life, while all the rich need to do is wave their banknotes around”. He describes all the pain he’s gone through just at the chance to “climb up” out of poverty before describing “how much effort I put into this” as “ridiculous”.

His hard work is exemplified by his 3rd deduction, which describes how he’s done so well his employers always attempt (but fail) to keep him for longer. He works to learn, to improve his skills, and better himself at the chance at earning more and thus potentially work his way out of poverty faster.

We can also see it during the trailer, with him surrounded by all these books and other things.

This quality of his, where he likes to teach himself, to learn, and to improve himself has been implied at other points by Netease, such as by several of his skins or even from part of other collabs, like B.Duck, which described Norton as “full of curiosity” and “likes learning”. It also described him with a “desire to act at MAX” or “highest level of execution”. This means he’s the type of person to put all his effort into whatever he does.

It just wasn’t enough.

We even see the sort of suffering this life has forced him to endure, as in the trailer it shows him coughing due to the damage his lungs have suffered due to his life as a miner.

Hard work wasn’t enough. This is why he eventually turned to the list of 13 mines he learned from Benny, seeking to instead attempt to escape poverty by finding gold.

As explained by @metalIurgy and @Deskdeas, each of the names on this list are European mines or people.

(Also, there seems to be 15 names total on the list, rather than 13)

Von Donnersmarck: House of Donnersmarck, prominent aristocratic family that originated in the region of Silesia. Owned mines.

Georg Wilhelm: Russian military officer and engineer who specialized in mining

Prince Konstantin: prince of Russia, killed in a mining shaft

Ștefan Procopiu: physicist who researched electricity and magnetism

Friedrich Alfred Krupp: German industrialist, developed Krupp steel manufacturer and arms manufacturing company

Saarbergwerke: mining company that operated in the Saarland region of Germany

Romeria: religious pilgrimage (Spain or spanish speaking countries?)

Petro-pavlivska (''Петро-павлівська''): black coal mine located in the Eastern part of Ukraine

Nova Baňa: silver and gold mining site in central Slovakia.

Swansea Copper: Welsh copper mines

Eramet: French multinational mining and metallurgical company

Ivan Polzunov: Russian engineer known for his contributions to steam engine technology

Wowdcole: ?

(Sorry, I can't read the 15th name crossed out in the top left corner of the list)

We know from Norton’s 5th deduction that he tried and failed to find anything at any of the other 12 mines, leaving him with only Golden Cave left.

Back to the trailer, we see him with a map.

The left side looks like it should be a map of Lakeside and the surrounding area, with Golden Cave being the X at the base of the mountains. Count Barriere is the owner of this land, and also the owner of Golden Cave. The right side should be the representation of a map of the mine itself.

Considering how earlier Norton’s coworkers stole Norton’s coin, it’s possible they essentially tried to do the same thing here. Saw him looking at the map, then took it for themselves. Like how Norton’s 8th deduction includes “you need more helpers”, they may have forced him to take them along, and why they explore it on their own without Norton. Especially with the looks on their faces in that scene not showing they had any good intentions.

(A lot of what I’ll say next is said very well by @Yaboku_samaa)

Norton seems to have set all this up in advance, before they came through the mine.

Next we see Norton’s inner conflict. A conflict between morals and vengeance represented by survivor Norton vs Hunter Norton. His Hunter side manages to win out by telling Norton that this is what they deserve, it’s revenge for all the pain and ridicule he’s been put through, all in silence, all without fighting back. He’s forced to keep a façade. To keep his true feelings hidden if he doesn’t want a penalty or reduction in wages. He’s tired of having to live such a hard life of constant suffering and humiliation and hopelessness, and thus why he had hit his limit and the side represented by his Hunter version won out.

(I’m not going to push the idea too much, but it’s possible Norton may have bipolar disorder. That or DID, especially with how he literally talks to himself in his 2nd letter. Especially as both can form in children or young adults who experience long-term physical or emotional distress or abuse. Causes can include childhood trauma (like neglect, abuse, trauma, losing someone like a parent), stressful life events, genetics, etc…)

This decision is shown during the trailer when Norton says “There are ways to make a change”.

Norton’s 2nd letter does an accurate job of summarizing everything:

“Over the last 20 years, I lived like a rat in the gutter. I spent days under the ground in the dark just so I could earn a minimal living. Scars from the blasts crawled all over my face like maggots. The constant scorn and ridicule... I endured it every time just so I'd get a chance to climb up the ladder. It's ridiculous how much effort I put into this—anyway, I've finally managed to crawl out from the rat hole. I no longer have to pick and pull on the disgusting ash. Those who did nothing but laugh at me deserve to stay underground and be stepped on like maggots forever.”

And the trailer visually showing Norton’s inner conflict matches up very well with how quite clearly Norton in his 2nd letter is arguing with himself. The side represented by Hunter Norton is likely the version talking right now, trying to convince him (the side represented by Survivor Norton) to kill the female, “think about how arrogant she is” and all the money he’d get. The fact he is trying to convince himself shows that Norton doesn’t want to do it, and how he isn’t willing to do anything for money. His hatred for his coworkers for their treatment of him for so long was enough for the side represented by Hunter Norton to convince him to trigger the explosion on them, but that motivation doesn’t exist here. Right now, his less moral side is trying to motivative him with money and thinking about others as “arrogant” and essentially mean, as well as the doubt that she could do something to him.

But that may not be enough to convince him next time to actually do it if he’s given a chance. At Golden Cave, that was his last chance to try to find gold. He’d gone through 12 other mines (and 20 years of pain on top of that) with nothing to show for it. Norton may be very stubborn and determined, but even he was growing so very desperate, which is shown well by Norton’s 5th deduction as well as by the trailer itself. So it makes sense that Norton was mentally not in the right place and vulnerable to the sort of temptation we see him going through in the trailer.

Norton is alone. No family. No money. Suffering from lung problems. Has never been shown kindness and forced to grow up in a very cruel environment. The only thing keeping him moving forward and losing all hope is by focusing on his goal of getting out of poverty and achieving some form of a comfortable life with at least the basic necessities. This is shown very well by Norton’s 4th birthday emote “Savings”, where Norton takes out a single gold coin and thinks about simple worn clothes and a loaf of bread, while the description reads “Endure it, Norton. You’re almost there”.

For years he attempted to push on, but little by little, his coworkers, his employers, his environment, it all chipped away at him until he felt he had no other choice. I believe the trailer does a good job of emphasizing how his main motivation wasn’t greed but desperation, hopelessness, and the pain he was subjected to by his coworkers and everyone. It’s life or death, and this mine is his last chance, and his deep misery that pushes him over the edge, so it’s no wonder he doesn’t care about anyone anymore. He’s always been alone, always had to be the one to look out for himself. No one else could be trusted. They would only take advantage of him or even potentially steal what little he had. Yet even still he hesitated to pull the trigger, which I think says a lot about Norton.

Despite the decision being made, he doesn’t run after he sets off the explosion. He accepts what happens. There’s no way he didn’t know what was going to happen, not with how long he’s worked as a miner, and how much he’s learned in his own time. It could be the side represented by his survivor version sees the scar as punishment for his deeds. It could be he knew if he wanted to get his revenge he had to deal with the potential scars.

But he was here not just for revenge, but for the chance at finding gold. Hunter Norton’s character backstory says the accident brought Norton “Golden Luck” or “a gold rush of fortune”, so it sounds like he did find something.

We do know he at least found the meteorite, which is what he made his magnet from, so this could be what is referred to in Hunter Norton’s backstory.

Along with the above, we could connect whatever his “golden luck” was with Memory’s comment during Time of Reunion, where she says “they seemed to be looking for something other than ore”.

This is repeated during AoM with a newspaper clipping about rumors being false of precious metal ore in the mine.

Considering Golden Cave’s rumor is “despite not a single piece of gold was ever found, Count Barriere still got what he wanted with this land”, these statements should be talking about the same thing.

It’s possible Barriere was after the meteorite, especially as the only things we know that came out of that mine after it collapsed were Norton and the chunks of the meteorite he carried.

There are potential parallels from Lily’s essence, which connects to Golden Cave, and her essence story says “The mine is filled with special phosphorescent ores, which brought wealth to their ancestors but also cursed them with phosphorescent illness”. Considering in the famitsu article it says the magnet aka the meteorite may have been affecting his brain, it’s possible the “phosphorescent ores” is meant to parallel the meteorite.

If that is what Barriere is after, maybe there’s a chance he reached out to Norton afterwards, and he could’ve been the one to offer Norton all that money in exchange for killing some female. Especially when we know Count Barriere has a lot of money based on Lily’s backstory, as he even offered her enough to survive for 2 years and even more via making her the owner of the IOU likely belonging to Orpheus for him buying Oletus Manor.

Anyways, we also know from Norton’s 3rd letter that he “dug his way out through a mountain creek a few dozen meters away from the mine” with only “minor burns”. We also know from the Famitsu Article that people didn’t talk to him, they said a bare minimum then kept a “wide berth”, and considering the very visible scar on his face, it is possible this was the reason they avoided him (they were frightened of him. Like we see at the end of the trailer, it is possible people saw him as a “monster”, especially back then when these sorts of things weren’t treated or seen as kindly as today).

I just had the craziest Madoka Magica dream.

So there's a new trailer for the upcoming fourth movie, and I am honestly disappointed in it. But then I get transported into the world of the trailer and I'm like "woah, this is so messed up". I enter this church building and a few minutes later there's this strange guy with a grey hoodie and a face as black as the void itself with no facial features. And he starts killing all of the magical girls with just one touch! Limbs are being lost, torsos are being stabbed, foreheads are being grabbed and shocked to death (no blood tho). I actually die from him and then wake up (turns out I had a bit of acid reflux too), but I have this thing where if I immediately fall back asleep then I return to the dream. So I essentially respawn by returning to the dream. The guy sees me and I get injured again but I'm not dead. I hide into this bedroom with bunk beds right next to Homura, but this guy finds us again. And just as he tries to kill me again, a couple of magical girls dressed up as spies with guns and tazers shoot at him. Sayaka comes to help too and the arm this guy cut off of her is fully healed. This guy is now down but not quite dead, and we can see that his whole head is actually a screen, and every time it gets shot at a new horrific face appears. Then the guy finally dies and we all celebrate by having a party at my childhood home. There are magical girls there and also random people. A mail truck arrives and gives me a couple letters, one of them saying that I'm personally invited to a Madoka-themed dinner. There's also a pair of shoes that gets delivered and I'm like, "I didn't order this but okay." My sister and I try to go to the dinner but get lost, and that's when I actually woke up. No, I couldn't return to the dream this time, sorry.

I've had other crazy Madoka Magica dreams before, like once I ended up in a church and there was a giant Madokami just floating around. But this one... this one's the craziest.

The more I think about Elemental's race allegory, the more I dislike it. It feels very misguided to suggest that racism is akin to people being made of substances that violently react when they touch, injuring or killing one or both parties, because does that not give this film's allegorical racism so much more credibility than real world racism has or could ever have? Within the world of this film, is it not objective fact that mixing the "races" is dangerous to all parties and is merely sometimes "worth it" in exceptional circumstances, when both consent to the inherent danger of existing near each other as these different "races?" Does it not smack of racism to suggest that doing away with segregation is merely the lesser of two evils??

Within the world of Elemental, a world ironically crafted for the sole purpose of conveying a rather hamfisted anti-racism message, segregation is simply logical and results in the most comfort and safety possible for all four "races." Like, yeah, should people made out of fucking fire who drink gasoline maybe not live next door to a guy made of water and a guy made of dry wood? Is having these people live in different communities not a no-brainer for everyone involved? Is it not deeply fucked up to portray metaphorical "races" as literally caustic to each other, eating away at each other's bodies like acid when they "mix?" Is this not the peak of racist rhetoric, to imply that differing races are inherently "incompatible" and cultures are metaphorically "corroded" by mixing?

Segregation in real life is far, far stupider than it is in Elemental because real life races do not hurt each other merely by existing in the same space. In fact, segregation in real life is based on very little actual "reasoning," and none of these reasons hold up to logic. It's just primitive apebrained fear/hatred of those who look/act different from oneself, and flimsy attempts at rationalizing these base, primitive emotions with pseudoscience and puritanical nonsense. True, some people in our world think that cultures are corroded by mixing and some races inherently cause harm to others, but all of this is, verifiably, complete bunk. It's all just a cover for fear of change, the rush of cruel joy one can feel from hating another, the desire to be better than others, all that crap. We all know this song, and it's kind of not the point here. My point is, in real life, racism has no sound logical reasoning. In Elemental, it does. It is given an actual point, a point driven by harm reduction and public safety. Real life racism has absolutely none of that. Thus, the world of Elemental, by its very design, portrays segregation vs race mixing as a discussion with some degree of nuance, and not one that's black and white, as it is in real life. It is saying the racists have, to some degree, a point. And that is bad.

I have not actually seen this film. Notice how I do not bring up the actual plot at any point. The plot, I feel, is kind of irrelevant here. My beef is with the things I have seen, which is the worldbuilding as portrayed in the trailers. Idk, I just don't like the thought of a kid's first exposure to the concept of racism being "it is in the nature of people who are a different race than you to harm you, and you them, so one must be wary around such people for both of your sakes. There's a good reason races are often separated, these rules are in place for your protection, and while sometimes it's worth mixing on occasion if everyone involved consents to the inherent danger, typically one should stay in their lane for the sake of themselves and others. While you should not hate people different from you, you should keep in mind that you're better off apart, in different neighbourhoods and schools and public transportation, and only spend time with such a person if you're both sure it's worth the risk, because if you get too close to each other, you will get hurt."

I don't like the idea that, while we can understand, love, and show compassion to one another, at the end of the day our inborn race is simply incompatible with that of most others at a basic, unchangeable level.

I don't like the implication that segregation is legitimately in the interest of public safety for all races, and that mixing is inherently dangerous.

I don't like Elemental's race allegory.

It's bad. It's certainly not well thought through. It, in it's attempt to simplify the subject matter in a way easily digestible to children, somehow makes this very black-and-white issue far more nuanced than it really is, saying both sides have a point and must be reconciled with one another in balance. It is, quite ironically, kind of racist.

(I'm not assuming ill intent here, btw. I'm sure the writers had the best intentions. I don't think their writing is intentionally racist, I just think it's unintentionally bad.)

High-Pressure Hydrogen Storage Solutions

One element of the hydrogen economy that is essential is hydrogen storage. Hydrogen has to be stored at low temperatures or in a solid state due to its great flammability and low density. There are a number of options available for storing hydrogen, each with advantages and disadvantages.

Download - https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/industry-practice/RequestForm.asp

Compressed Hydrogen Storage: The most popular and well acknowledged technique for storing hydrogen is compressed hydrogen storage. Using this process, hydrogen gas is compressed and then kept in high-pressure containers. Composite materials or metal can be used to build the tanks. 350–700 bar is the storage pressure range; higher pressures lead to higher storage capacity. Refueling stations, industrial processes, and backup power are examples of stationary uses where compressed hydrogen storage is helpful. Sadly, the tanks cannot be used in mobile applications because of their size and weight.

Liquid Hydrogen Storage: In order for hydrogen gas to liquefy and be stored in insulated tanks, it must first be cooled to its boiling point, which is -253˒°C. Compared to liquid hydrogen storage, compressed hydrogen storage has a higher energy density. But because cryogenic temperatures are needed, the tanks need to be well-insulated to prevent venting and boil-off. Liquid hydrogen storage is often utilized in space applications and some specialized ones, such high-performance cars, despite the fact that its high cost and complexity make it unsuitable for ordinary uses.

Metal Hydride Storage: Metal alloys with the ability to absorb and release hydrogen gas are used in metal hydride storage. Aluminum, titanium, and magnesium are common lightweight metals used to create metal alloys. A few benefits of metal hydride storage are its large storage capacity, safety, and low operating pressure. Drawbacks include the high price and temperature needed to liberate hydrogen from the metals. Small fuel cells, backup power systems, and portable gadgets can all benefit from metal hydride batteries.

Chemical Hydrogen Storage: Materials that can release hydrogen gas upon activation are used in chemical hydrogen storage. Ammonia borane, formic acid, and sodium borohydride are a few of the chemicals, which can be either organic or inorganic. High storage capacity, low operating pressure, and portability are the benefits of chemical hydrogen storage. The high cost, generation of byproducts, and need for a catalyst for hydrogen release are the drawbacks of these compounds. Systems for storing chemical hydrogen are useful in portable electronics, small fuel cells, and backup power supply.

An essential component of the hydrogen supply chain is storage. It makes it possible to manufacture and transport hydrogen to the consumption location during off-peak hours. The many uses, energy density, safety, and economic factors all play a role in the selection of hydrogen storage technologies.

Reducing costs and improving the efficiency of hydrogen storage are the main goals of ongoing research and development.

High-Pressure Hydrogen Storage

Energy storage, industrial processes, fuel cell automobiles, and other hydrogen-based energy systems all depend on High-Pressure Hydrogen Storage.  High-pressure hydrogen storage is discussed in the information that follows.

Importance of High-Pressure Storage: Hydrogen gas must be compressed due to its low volumetric energy density in order to get a significant storage volume for various applications. One of the best ways to handle this problem is to store under high pressure.

Storage Technologies: Gas cylinders, tube trailers, and composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) are examples of high-pressure hydrogen storage options. These technologies are applied in various fields based on the particular needs and goals.

Safety Considerations: There are several safety concerns when storing hydrogen under high pressure. Since hydrogen is very flammable, containment systems must adhere to strict safety regulations to prevent leaks or ruptures.

Advantages: High-pressure storage has several advantages over cryogenic storage, including the capacity to store more hydrogen in a given area, faster refueling for cars driven by hydrogen, and simpler architecture.

Challenges: The energy needed for compression could be a big obstacle. Moreover, the materials utilized to build high-pressure storage systems need to be able to withstand the strain and fatigue brought on by cyclic loading.

Because technology makes it possible to store and transport hydrogen safely and effectively for a variety of uses both essential for the search for greener and more sustainable energy sources high-pressure hydrogen storage is central to the hydrogen economy.

Hydrogen Storage Materials

Hydrogen Storage Materials play a major role in the development of hydrogen-based technologies and systems. These substances are employed to safely and effectively store and release hydrogen. The information that follows describes the substances used to store hydrogen:

Hydrogen Storage Mechanisms:

Hydrogen can be stored using a variety of techniques, such as combinations of chemisorption (chemical bonding), physisorption (physical adsorption), and other techniques. When selecting a material, factors including release kinetics, thermodynamics, and anticipated storage capacity are usually taken into account.

Types of Hydrogen Storage Materials:

Metal Hydrides: These substances, which are made up of metal atoms joining with hydrogen, are referred to as metal hydrides. Examples include magnesium hydride (MgH2), sodium alanate (NaAlH4), and complex metal hydrides. Hydrogen can be stored in metal hydrides for comparatively long periods of time before being released at room temperature.

Porous Materials: Among the porous materials that can adsorbe hydrogen utilizing physisorption processes are activated carbon, covalent organic frameworks, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). They can be altered to store hydrogen and have a large surface area.

Thermodynamics and Kinetics: It's important to comprehend the thermodynamics of hydrogen storage materials in light of the energy shifts brought about by hydrogen adsorption and desorption. Kinetics is the study of these processes' velocities. Materials for use in realistic hydrogen storage devices should have good thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics.

Operating Conditions: There may be a range of operating settings required for hydrogen storage materials. When working at room temperature, certain materials might need to be heated. For these to be used practically, it is essential to comprehend and refine these factors.

Challenges and Research: Creating materials with enhanced characteristics—like more storage capacity, quicker kinetics, and lower working temperatures—for hydrogen storage is the goal of current research. Before these materials are used substantially, reversibility, cost, and safety concerns need to be resolved.

A broad variety of substances with different capacities, operating conditions, and storage techniques fall under the category of hydrogen storage materials. Research and development is underway to increase the effectiveness, safety, and utility of these materials, which are essential for the creation of hydrogen-based energy systems.

Hydrogen Fuel Storage

For hydrogen-based energy systems and technologies, fuel storage is necessary. For hydrogen to be utilized in fuel cells or combustion engines, it must be kept properly and effectively. The following details concern hydrogen fuel storage:

Hydrogen Storage Methods:

Gaseous Hydrogen Storage: This method involves storing hydrogen as a gas in high-pressure containers at pressures typically ranging from 350 to 700 bar (5,000 to 10,000 psi). For these containers to survive high pressure, lightweight materials like metal alloys or composite materials are frequently used.

Liquid Hydrogen Storage: The storage temperature of liquid hydrogen is exceptionally low, about 253°C, or -423°F. Compared to liquid hydrogen, gaseous hydrogen has a lower energy density; however, gaseous hydrogen must be stored in cryogenic tanks, which can be large and energy-intensive to maintain.

Metal Hydride Storage: Some metal hydrides are capable of reversibly absorbing and releasing hydrogen gas. They can be used for both stationary and mobile power generation since they provide a portable and secure way to store hydrogen.

Chemical Hydride Storage: Examples of chemical hydrides that can contain hydrogen are sodium borohydride and ammonia borane. In the presence of a catalyst or when heated, they emit hydrogen. Applications such as backup power systems make use of chemical hydrides.

Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs): One characteristic of organic molecules known as LOHCs is their reversible ability to bind and release hydrogen. These carriers are very suitable for the mobile storage and transportation of hydrogen.

Hydrogen fuel storage is essential to the hydrogen economy, which makes it possible to use hydrogen in a variety of applications. The application's requirements for efficiency, portability, and safety will determine the best storage option. The goal of continuous research and development is the advancement of hydrogen storage technologies.

The following are some of the top companies that specialize in hydrogen storage systems:

Air Liquide: A range of hydrogen storage options are available from Air Liquide, such as compressed gas cylinders, tube trailers, and bulk storage tanks.

Linde: Cryogenic storage tanks, tube trailers, and high-pressure gas cylinders are just a few of the hydrogen storage options provided by Linde.

Hexagon Purus: Hexagon Purus specializes in Type 4 tanks, which are robust and lightweight composite high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks.

McPhy Energy: Solid-state hydrogen storage and hydrogen refueling stations are the two hydrogen storage options provided by McPhy Energy.

Plug Power: Plug Power provides metal hydride-based storage devices as well as fuel cell hydrogen storage options.

Worthington Industries: Compressed gas cylinders and bulk storage tanks are only two of the hydrogen storage solutions that Worthington Industries provides.

Chart Industries: Large volumes of hydrogen can be stored at low temperatures in cryogenic storage tanks, which are expertly constructed by Chart Industries.

Hydrogenics: Compressed gas cylinders and hydrogen refueling stations are two of Hydrogenics' hydrogen storage options.

Hydrogen storage has shown to be a significant technological obstacle to the widespread usage of hydrogen as fuel. The following are a few significant issues with hydrogen storage:

Low energy density: Hydrogen has a lower energy density per unit volume than traditional fuels like diesel and gasoline. This implies that more hydrogen needs to be stored in order to store the same amount of energy as traditional fuels.

Storage at high pressures: The energy density of hydrogen needed for practical use can only be obtained by compressing it to extremely high pressures. The high pressure here could cause leaks and explosions, which is a safety concern.

Cryogenic storage: Another way to store hydrogen is to cool it down to extremely low temperatures and transform it into a liquid. Regretfully, this necessitates extremely low temperatures (-253˂°C), which makes the storage procedure more difficult and expensive.

Material compatibility: Hydrogen-compatible materials must be utilized to construct storage tanks and pipelines since gas can induce embrittlement and corrosion in some materials.

Cost: Compared to other fuels, storing hydrogen is still relatively costly. The total cost of storing hydrogen may increase due to the cost of cryogenic storage, high-pressure tanks, and materials that are compatible with hydrogen.

Before hydrogen may be used as fuel on a big scale, issues with the hydrogen storage system need to be fixed. The goal of current research and development is to create new, inexpensive, high-energy-density hydrogen storage devices.

The Benefits of Stainless-Steel Spiral Pipe

Nowadays, stainless steel is in almost everyone’s life. Many industries use it as fittings, flanges, pipes, plates, screws, nuts, and bolts. Spiral stainless-steel tube, also known as a serpentine pipe. To reduce wall thickness and spiral winding, the stainless-steel tube used the winding core head cold drawing method. The process for SS 304L Pipe manufacturers in India creates a steel pipe with a uniform wall thickness and a smooth appearance, with no welding seams. Flanges Manufacturer’s manufacturing process In India, the cleaning circulating inside the tube removes oil stains, and the heat treatment of the bright annealing gas shield removes oxide adhesion from the surface. After the billet has been cold drawn, the seamless spiral tubes are rolled. The finished products have a bright surface inside and outside the tube thanks to degreasing and bright annealing. The SS 316L Pipe suppliers in IndiaFlanges are an important component of it.

Stainless Steel Seamless Spiral Tubes are specified in full dimensions and in accordance with SS 321 Pipe suppliers in India and DIN, GB, JIS, and other standards. The most common sizes for 316 Stainless Steel Flanges are 1/8 “, 1/4 “, 3/8 “, and 1/2”. Wall thicknesses range from 0.035 inch to 0.065 inch. Acid pickling or bright annealing are the most common surface treatments. Stainless steel seamless spiral tubes are extremely resistant to high temperatures and impact corrosion. The bent shape will produce a uniform pipe wall and alloy steel fittings that are simple to install, low maintenance, and cost-effective. It’s safe and dependable performance by Stainless Steel Square Pipe suppliers in Indiamakes it popular in the chemical, oil and gas, and shipbuilding industries for tracking pipes, gas pipes, instrument piping, and heat exchange hydraulic accessories. Its main advantages are as follows:

Significantly reduced installation costs

The spiral design by SS 347 Pipe suppliers in Indiareduces the number of ASME B16.47 Flange pipe fittings used during installation, lowering the cost significantly. Pipe welding lengths are less convenient and take much longer to install than seamless, continuous length CNG pipes.

Increased system security and dependability

Spiral hoses are an excellent choice for reducing the risk of system leaks in the plumbing system. The exposed area of the pipe is greatly reduced when compared to a standard straight pipe. Stainless steel API 5L Grade B Pipe Suppliers tube coils provide excellent corrosion resistance. Superior sealing performance is ensured by tight tolerance controls, and the use of continuous tubing eliminates potential leak points.

Transport and storage are made easier.

Coil bundles are more easily transported and stored than standard tubes. The spiral tube by SS 410 Pipe manufacturers in India is wrapped in a wooden shaft or packed in a bundle roll in a plywood case. Not only are they shipped on a truck or trailer, but they can also be shipped by sea or air. Furthermore, it facilitates product identification by printing on the pipe the wall thickness, SS 904L Pipe suppliers in Indiaelbow size and thickness, and maximum allowable pressure. Stainless steel pipe plates make spiral pipe installation faster and easier.

Billy & Sarah: “Creatures From Foggy Bog” 

1) Deep in the dark corners of the swampy area of the quiet Oak River, there is said to be a terrifying creature that calls the swamp it’s home — The Snake Monster of Foggy Bog — stories of this elusive beast claim it to be roughly the length of three whole semi-trailers and has a near acidic venomous bite and can strike w/ lightning fast speeds. It is primarily an ambush predator that waits in the murky waters for any unsuspecting prey for hours — possibly even days. The individual native to the area that Billy and Sarah encounter is a female and her aggressive behaviour is because it has been merely protecting her clutch of eggs from intruders: a group of poachers, who had earlier sent the two in to act as decoys for them while they snatched the snake’s eggs — w/ the two being none the wiser. The mother, having expended a massive amount of it’s energy chasing after Billy and Sarah, becomes too exhausted to both fight or even protect her own eggs and is loaded up for transportation. Billy and Sarah, now realizing their mistake, go after them and are successful in their rescue of the mother and her eggs. In a last ditch effort to secure his prize, the leader decides to kill the mother (w/ an elephant gun) and settle w/ the money a dead specimen will bring him, but isn’t fast enough to the draw and pays w/ his life. This is more than enough to scare the remaining poachers out of town and give up their hunt for good. She seems to display a high level of intelligence as she shows gratitude to the two after rescuing her and her eggs and is able recognize them during later visits. She can also read body movements of others rather well and respond accordingly: show hostility, she becomes hostile herself, etc.

2) A new rival of Missy, the Snake Monster of Foggy Bog: www.deviantart.com/artmakerpro… has recently arrived in the swamp (*insert "What are ya doin' in mah swamp?!" joke here*) and seeks to claim her territory for itself. Is bigger, meaner, stronger, and a far nastier and troublesome neighbour to Okkou and Jeph than Missy ever was. Now Missy has competition for resources. Which she needs not just for herself, but also for her clutch of young, as before she and them were the only large predatory animals in the swamp and they are still growing and in need of lots of care. With the new face in the swamp, that will become more difficult... While Missy is based off various snakes, eels, and other serpentine creatures, the rival (who'll we'll call Betty) is based of reptiles and lizards such as crocodiles and monitor lizards.

3) When a casual stroll through the forested region of Oak River ends up w/ him running for his life from Betty, the Reptile Beast of Foggy Bog. Now associating the boy as the protector of it’s rival’s young, it chases after him having come to the conclusion that ridding of him will allow it to succeed in the removal of future competition as top predator. Billy, being the fast runner that he is, can just be able to keep ahead of the reptile’s snapping jaws. The chase causes a stir in the forest. 

Artist's Note: I made this as to showcase the rather 'unique' biodiversity of the area. As well give a bit of scale to the creatures.

TD Clues in the S11 Preview Special

Hey Everyone!

Who watched the S11 preview show? I did, and there were actually some fairly heavy TD clues in it. (Yay!)

I only got to watch it once live, and didn’t have the option to record it, so I probably missed stuff. If anyone noticed anything I didn’t, feel free to send it in. I’ll focus on 3 major things that jumped out at me.

So, Angela Kang was in the studio with Chris Hardwick, but Norman was there only via satellite from Georgia.

@wdway​ noticed that the music box was still sitting on the shelf behind Angela, which was cool.

1. The first big clue we noticed came from Norman. Chris had asked him something like, how is this season was different from previous ones, or how has filming been different. Norman said everything was brighter and more colorful than usual. 

I think he probably means because of the Commonwealth. If you think of the CW sales video we saw in the coda of the trailer, everything looks new and clean and nice, and doesn’t have the bleak, dirty vibe of most of the rest of the show. Then he said (and I paraphrase) that a lot of it felt like they’d all “eaten the wrong mushrooms.” And by that, he means something hallucinatory. And that it seemed “like the Wizard of Oz.”

Yeah, massive hints going on there.

There has been a subtle but recurring mushroom theme in the show. It’s part of the overall hallucination theme, but goes back at least until S4 (you know, when Bethyl came from and center). It might be earlier than that, too, but that’s the earliest reference that comes to mind.

Either way, Norman is furthering the idea of hallucinations and things not being as they seem.

And then there’s the wizard of Oz reference. I’ve literally done entire theories on this (X), (X). We saw it around Beth at Grady and also around Rick right before the bridge incident, where he disappeared into the CRM. Because of the way it’s used in both cases, I think the Wizard of Oz motif is specifically about the CRM. Dorothy was transported away from her family and to a whole new world. The same thing happened to both Beth and Rick and both times they went to a community with ties to the CRM.

The hallucination theme is also present in TWOO. People have written whole essays about how trippy the whole thing is and how it feels like an acid trip for Dorothy. That’s not the way it’s written in the show, but of course this film came out in 1939. For Dorothy, it was an elaborate dream. But that just makes me think of episode 6x12 of Fear the Walking Dead where an almost identical thing happened with Grace and the episode is even called In Dreams.

And I’m not at all saying the CRM isn’t real. I’m just saying they’re using these things as themes and we saw them back in S5 around Beth. I’ll have more to say about this theme next week when I discuss episode 11x01.

2. The next thing that struck us as suspicious is that Chris asked Norman, with this being the final season, what does he want for Daryl? 

Norman replied that wants Daryl to find happiness and “what he’s looking for.” And he very clearly meant emotionally. You could argue that he meant romantically but it could also just be in terms of life and familial relationships.

But you could also argue that he already has most of that. He has strong family and community relationships. He’s helping raise two kids. (In fact, very small spoiler for 11x01: at one point Daryl returns to Alexandria and we see both Judith and RJ run out and hug him. It’s very sweet. The point is, he pretty much IS their father for the time being.) And he has closer “family” relationships with those he’s closest to: Maggie, Michonne, Carol, Aaron.

So, the only thing he’s truly missing is the romantic element.

@wdway​ also pointed out that the way Norman said it, it very much feels like something futuristic. Something he currently doesn’t have in his life. (Sorry Caryl and Donnie shippers.)

So yeah. That, and the “what he’s looking for” wording definitely made us side-eye.

3. Finally, near the end, we saw a sneak peek that comes from 11x02, and Dog enters a Dark Tunnel. 

The sneak peak is Daryl and Dog, alone together in the subway tunnels. Daryl finds a walker rolled up inside a sleeping bag, which he kills, and then Dog starts barking at something and runs away from Daryl, into a small, dark side tunnel.

So, the dark tunnel symbolism is HUGE around Beth and I’ve got theories about Dark Tunnel symbolism that are YEARS old (X).

And, until next week when everyone sees 11x01 and I’m safe to talk about it, you’ll just have to take my word for this, but they’re definitely using an S4/S5 Beth template for Dog this season. We already know from what’s been released about the season that Dog and Daryl will get separated and he’ll go looking for Dog. We already knew that. But when you see 11x01, it becomes even more evident.

So, Dog heading into a dark tunnel just backs up the Beth template even more.

But then, when they came back to TTD after the sneak peek, Norman started singing a song. Okay, I have no idea what it was. I didn’t recognize the tune and he did it very quickly. (If anyone knows what it was, let me know.) Chris clearly recognized it and started laughing, razzing Norman about how of all the songs he could possibly have parodied, he used that one. So, the lyrics weren’t real. Norman was making them up, overall.

But wanna know what lyrics he sang? He said (once again, I paraphrase) something like, “When Doggy goes into the tunnel, I know things are serious.”

So, he not only emphasized the importance of Dog entering the dark tunnel, he actually turned it into a serious/Sirius/return reference.

Me:  😲

Okay, those were the three big things that jumped out at me. 1) Hallucination/Mushroom/Wizard of Oz references. Yes, all in one sentence. 2) Daryl finding happiness and “what he’s looking for.” 3) Dog in the tunnel = Sirius.

As I said at the beginning, there were probably other, smaller things I missed, but these were the ones that made me super happy.

Thoughts?

Hydrogen Storage Solutions

Hydrogen storage is a crucial component of the hydrogen economy. Due to its severe flammability and low density, hydrogen must be held at high pressures, low temperatures, or in solid-state materials. Hydrogen storage is a vital component of the hydrogen energy ecosystem because it allows for the storage and transmission of hydrogen gas for use in a range of applications, including transportation, power generation, and industrial processes.

There are numerous options for Hydrogen Storage Solutions, and each has pros and cons of its own. These include variations in hydrogen storage solution kinds, attributes, and uses.

Compressed Hydrogen Storage: Compressed hydrogen storage is a widely used and well-liked technique for storing hydrogen. This method compresses hydrogen gas and stores it in high-pressure tanks. The tanks can be constructed out of metal or composite materials. More storage capacity is available at higher pressures; the storage pressure varies from 350 to 700 bar. Compressed hydrogen storage can be useful in stationary applications such as refueling stations, industrial processes, and backup power supplies. Unfortunately, the tanks cannot be employed in mobile applications due to their considerable size and weight.

Liquid Hydrogen Storage: Hydrogen must be cooled to its boiling point (-253˒°C) in order to liquidate the gas and preserve it as liquid. Next, it is stored in insulated tanks. Liquid hydrogen storage has a lower energy density than compressed hydrogen storage. However, because cryogenic temperatures are required, well-insulated tanks are necessary to avoid boil-off and venting. For widespread use, liquid hydrogen storage is not the best option because of its complexity and expensive cost. On the other hand, it is widely used for specialist applications, such as high-performance cars, and for space applications.

Metal Hydride Storage: For metal hydride storage, metal alloys possessing the ability to both absorb and release hydrogen gas are employed. Metal alloys are commonly made from aluminum, titanium, magnesium, and other lightweight metals. Metal hydride storage has the advantages of high storage capacity, low pressure operation, and safety. The disadvantages are the high temperature needed for hydrogen emission and the expensive metals. Metal hydride storage has use in small fuel cells, backup power systems, and portable electronics.

Chemical Hydrogen Storage: Chemical hydrogen storage involves the use of materials that, when activated, emit hydrogen gas. Among the substances are sodium borohydride, ammonia borane, and formic acid. These substances might be inorganic or organic. Chemical hydrogen storage offers low operating pressure, high storage capacity, and portability. The compounds' disadvantages include their high cost, byproduct production, and requirement for a catalyst to liberate hydrogen. Chemical hydrogen storage has use in backup power systems, small fuel cells, and portable electronics.

Hydrogen storage is a crucial component of the hydrogen supply chain. It enables the production of hydrogen during off-peak hours and its transportation to the location of use. The selection of hydrogen storage methods is influenced by various factors such as application, required energy density, cost, and safety concerns. Reducing the cost and improving the efficiency of hydrogen storage is the aim of current research and development.

Leading businesses that focus on hydrogen storage systems include the following:

Air Liquide: Air Liquide offers several solutions for storing hydrogen, including tube trailers, big storage tanks, and cleaned gas cylinders.

Linde: Among Linde's hydrogen storage options are tube trailers, cryogenic storage tanks, and high-pressure gas cylinders.

Hexagon Purus: Composite high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks, such the sturdy and lightweight Type 4 tanks, are Hexagon Purus' area of expertise.

McPhy Energy: McPhy Energy offers a variety of hydrogen storage solutions, including solid-state hydrogen storage and hydrogen refueling stations.

Plug Power: Plug Power offers choices for hydrogen storage for fuel cells, including metal hydride-based solutions.

Worthington Industries: Worthington Industries offers a variety of hydrogen storage systems, compressed gas cylinders and bulk storage tanks being only two.

Chart Industries: Cryogenic storage tanks, which are Chart Industries' area of expertise, are capable of holding large amounts of hydrogen at low temperatures.

Hydrogenics: Hydrogenics offers two alternatives for storing hydrogen: hydrogen refueling stations and compressed gas cylinders.

Hydrogen storage has been one of the primary technological barriers to the widespread use of hydrogen as a fuel source. A few of the primary problems with hydrogen storage are:

Low energy density: Compared to traditional fuels like diesel and gasoline, hydrogen has a lower energy density per unit volume. A larger hydrogen volume is required to store the same amount of energy in hydrogen as in conventional fuels.

Storage at high pressures: Hydrogen must be compressed to extremely high pressures in order to get the required energy density for practical application. There is a concern to public safety because of the high pressure that could result in leaks and explosions.

Cryogenic storage: Hydrogen can also be stored by freezing it to very low temperatures and letting it solidify. However, because it requires very low temperatures (-253˂°C), the storage process is difficult and costly.

Material compatibility: Since hydrogen can cause embrittlement and corrosion in certain materials, storage tanks and pipes must be built of materials compatible with hydrogen.

Cost: It is still somewhat expensive to store hydrogen when compared to other fuels. The cost of high-pressure tanks, materials compatible with hydrogen, and cryogenic storage could raise the overall cost of storing hydrogen.

Hydrogen storage system problems must be resolved before hydrogen can be used as a fuel on a large scale. New, affordable, high-energy-density hydrogen storage technologies are the aim of current research and development.
