The Ocean Sciences Building at the University of Washington in Seattle is a brightly modern, four-story structure, with large glass windows reflecting the bay across the street.

On the afternoon of July 7, 2016, it was being slowly locked down.

Red lights began flashing at the entrances as students and faculty filed out under overcast skies. Eventually, just a handful of people remained inside, preparing to unleash one of the most destructive forces in the natural world: the crushing weight of about 2½ miles of ocean water.

In the building’s high-pressure testing facility, a black, pill-shaped capsule hung from a hoist on the ceiling. About 3 feet long, it was a scale model of a submersible called Cyclops 2, developed by a local startup called OceanGate. The company’s CEO, Stockton Rush, had cofounded the company in 2009 as a sort of submarine charter service, anticipating a growing need for commercial and research trips to the ocean floor. At first, Rush acquired older, steel-hulled subs for expeditions, but in 2013 OceanGate had begun designing what the company called “a revolutionary new manned submersible.” Among the sub’s innovations were its lightweight hull, which was built from carbon fiber and could accommodate more passengers than the spherical cabins traditionally used in deep-sea diving. By 2016, Rush’s dream was to take paying customers down to the most famous shipwreck of them all: the Titanic, 3,800 meters below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

Engineers carefully lowered the Cyclops 2 model into the testing tank nose-first, like a bomb being loaded into a silo, and then screwed on the tank’s 3,600-pound lid. Then they began pumping in water, increasing the pressure to mimic a submersible’s dive. If you’re hanging out at sea level, the weight of the atmosphere above you exerts 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). The deeper you go, the stronger that pressure; at the Titanic’s depth, the pressure is about 6,500 psi. Soon, the pressure gauge on UW’s test tank read 1,000 psi, and it kept ticking up—2,000 psi, 5,000 psi. At about the 73-minute mark, as the pressure in the tank reached 6,500 psi, there was a sudden roar and the tank shuddered violently.

“I felt it in my body,” an OceanGate employee wrote in an email later that night. “The building rocked, and my ears rang for a long time.”

“Scared the shit out of everyone,” he added.

The model had imploded thousands of meters short of the safety margin OceanGate had designed for.

In the high-stakes, high-cost world of crewed submersibles, most engineering teams would have gone back to the drawing board, or at least ordered more models to test. Rush’s company didn’t do either of those things. Instead, within months, OceanGate began building a full-scale Cyclops 2 based on the imploded model. This submersible design, later renamed Titan, eventually made it down to the Titanic in 2021. It even returned to the site for expeditions the next two years. But nearly one year ago, on June 18, 2023, Titan dove to the infamous wreck and imploded, instantly killing all five people onboard, including Rush himself.

The disaster captivated and horrified the world. Deep-sea experts criticized OceanGate’s choices, from Titan’s carbon-fiber construction to Rush’s public disdain for industry regulations, which he believed stifled innovation. Organizations that had worked with OceanGate, including the University of Washington as well as the Boeing Company, released statements denying that they contributed to Titan.

A trove of tens of thousands of internal OceanGate emails, documents, and photographs provided exclusively to WIRED by anonymous sources sheds new light on Titan’s development, from its initial design and manufacture through its first deep-sea operations. The documents, validated by interviews with two third-party suppliers and several former OceanGate employees with intimate knowledge of Titan, reveal never-before-reported details about the design and testing of the submersible. They show that Boeing and the University of Washington were both involved in the early stages of OceanGate’s carbon-fiber sub project, although their work did not make it into the final Titan design. The trove also reveals a company culture in which employees who questioned their bosses’ high-speed approach and decisions were dismissed as overly cautious or even fired. (The former employees who spoke to WIRED have asked not to be named for fear of being sued by the families of those who died aboard the vessel.) Most of all, the documents show how Rush, blinkered by his own ambition to be the Elon Musk of the deep seas, repeatedly overstated OceanGate’s progress and, on at least one occasion, outright lied about significant problems with Titan’s hull, which has not been previously reported.

A representative for OceanGate, which ceased all operations last summer, declined to comment on WIRED’s findings.

Even though it's constructed of thick concrete-insulated walls, built into the hillside, concrete floors, steel I beams, and custom made steel doors, it still has lots of glass and is above ground, so how can it be an apocalypse house? Built in 2004 in Willow Creek, Montana, it has 1bd (screw everyone else), 2ba, $850K.

Greenhouse has a glass ceiling and contamination can creep into the soil.

I just don't get this house.

Huge living room/kitchen space. This structure in the corner is the kitchen.

Not sure what this is above the kitchen.

Behind the kitchen counter. This is seriously industrial.

Combination bath/utility room.

Storage cabinet on wheels acts as a divider between the bedroom and living area.

A rear entrance has a small lofted area and goes down to the bedroom.

Entrance to bath #2 is behind the screen.

Industrial style farm doors.

The 2nd bath is a shower room.

I don't know what this building is, but it's partially underground.

40x60 shop on the property has a separate 500-gallon propane tank.

The grain silo is an art studio that comes equipped with 2 kilns.

27.87 acres. There are no restrictive covenants or zoning, so you have the freedom for multiple uses including, but not limited to, commercial, industrial, recreational, agricultural, small business, residential, and farming.

After a long span of not remembering any dreams, last night I had a couple doozies.

The first dream: (mix of first and third person perspectives, my character was me-but-not-me) took place in some kind of gargantuan facility buried under ice and snow. One of those classic unrealistic video game style locations implying the existence of some group with enough power to ship tens of thousands of tons of concrete and steel to build a (half-submerged!) sprawling industrial-scientific facility on some isolated arctic coast, in total secrecy.

I can't remember a lot of the details, which is tragic because I have the impression it was a rousing adventure story. There were at least three major interests there: one a detachment from a government, one well-funded private group, and then the people I was with, hapless cash-strapped adventurers that thought we were... getting ocean salvage? It had a shit-load of twists and betrayals, and I remember sobbing in a locked vault after the woman that lead my crew trapped me there so she could take the science-macguffin (or something??) to the rich heiress (whom she was also fucking). Can't remember how I escaped.

The climactic denouement was after the facility defenses activated and shot down the government helicopter detachment and sank the heiress's luxury icebreaker ship. A bunch of us were inside a massive silo of a room with a colossus sized robot woman that constantly rained sparks from her head and shoulders.

Dream number two: (first person, me as myself), my niece was sick so I brought her soup.

Dream three was some kind of... Handmaiden's Tale thing, crossed with a bit of Equilibrium, featuring a messianic John Wick esque character‽‽‽ (mostly first person, me as some me-like character, a member of the violence master's inner circle; a third person bit like a flashback when he told some story.)

If a person had written this as a story I would've said it was some kind of parable about the use of violence to change the world.

The deal was, this guy was actually preaching peace! He lead a non-violent movement! But the hyper authoritarian religious conservative government kept trying to do him in with violence out of some institutional ego-crisis, and every time someone pointed a gun at him he would Rambo his way through the squads. Like, at one point he willingly went to some kind of government diplomatic facility as part of some kind of "peace talk", and when they decided to forcibly take him prisoner (despite giving their assurances that they wouldn't), he escaped, killing dozens of guards on his way out. He left them alive if they dropped their guns.

The dream definitely also had a lot of color theory stuff. Women mostly wore these massive, over-elaborate dresses of white lace to indicate solidarity with the government, while the rebellious groups wore functional and plain clothing. I had a raggedy brown suit, and the leader guy wore a black suit. Red played a big part too; and not just in the obvious red blood on white suits and dresses aspect. I think the military/police type Enforcers wore red and white tuxedo like uniforms.

I wish I could remember more of this dream's plot too (even if it leaned a bit more into symbology than I prefer). There was this big deal final confrontation with some kind of big procession or motorcade. The President-for-Life was either naming their heir or getting married or something, and Jesus Wick was going to protest it by blocking traffic. He begged me not to but I showed up with a sniper rifle and posted up on a nearby building. And then, uh... I... woke up? Briefly? By falling asleep in the dream? Or something like that? And when I came to, there were literally hundreds of the enforcers dead, but they'd finally killed our guy. There was a hysterical young woman (in the big white dress) talking about the oceans of blood she saw come out of this one man, more than one person could possibly hold.

I staggered drunkenly around this nearby... shopping complex? That had been cordoned off for the enforcers to hold prisoners. The few left were all so weary and exhausted that they barely paid attention to me. I found a couple of my compatriots dead, and then one of the women chained, spread-eagled, in the middle of an open area. I broke off her manacles and we just kind of staggered off as the dream ended.

Considerations for Cement Cooling Processes

In cement production, the cooling process plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and performance of cement. The cement cooling process mainly consists of two methods: online cooling and post-storage cooling. The latter method is particularly suitable for processes that require strict temperature control due to its large cooling range and controllable temperature. To ensure effective cooling and the normal operation of equipment, it is essential to pay attention to several key issues during application.

1. Local Cooling Issues

When using a single silo cooling process, cement exits the silo, enters the cooler, and then returns to the same silo via an elevator. This method may lead to a situation where the cooler's discharge temperature meets the requirements, but the temperature of the material released from the silo remains high and does not meet standards. The root cause of this phenomenon lies in the formation of a material flow channel between the silo's entrance and exit. Since the material flows continuously in and out, other materials in the silo cannot enter this channel, resulting in rapid cooling of the material in the channel while the rest remains inadequately cooled.

To solve this problem, I recommend using a dual-silo process. Specifically, the material from one silo passes through the cooler and enters another silo. If the temperature still does not meet the requirements, the material can be released from the second silo and returned to the first silo for a cyclical operation. This method effectively improves cooling efficiency and ensures that the cement temperature meets the standards.

2. Cement Caking Issues

During storage, temperature differences often cause cement to cake on the walls of the silo, especially in steel silos. As the cement level decreases, some of these caked materials may fall off and enter the cooler along with the cement. The accumulation of these caked materials can affect the moving parts inside the cooler and may lead to mechanical failures.

To address this issue, I suggest installing equipment to remove cement caking before the cooler or setting up inspection ports at appropriate locations on the cooler. This allows for regular cleaning of the caked cement, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

3. Expansion Box Issues

The expansion box phenomenon occurs when cement fills the cooler's housing. Mechanical action causes the cement to expand, leading to deformation of the cooler's housing and potentially causing blockages or damage to mechanical parts. This situation primarily arises when the discharge amount from the silo exceeds the processing capacity of the cooler or elevator.

To resolve this issue, I recommend installing flow-stabilizing feeding equipment under the silo. This ensures that the discharge amount does not exceed the processing capacity of the cooler and elevator, thereby avoiding overload situations.

Conclusion

The external circulation cooling process of cement silos plays a vital role in cement production. Through proper process design and equipment maintenance, we can effectively enhance cooling efficiency and ensure cement quality. I hope the above suggestions provide valuable insights for industry professionals and contribute to the smooth operation of cement production.

If you would like to learn more about the external circulation cooling process of cement silos or have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to providing you with professional support and services!

A New World Rising: Tech and the Efficient Future of Innovation

A New World Rising: Tech and the Efficient Future of Innovation

The recent revelation of China's DeepSeek, or Shendu has hit the tech world wth the ferocity of a hypersonic missile.  Apparently China, like most, smart targetted economies were working to become self sufficient.  While the new technology is a function of innovation,  it also demonstrates something fundemental about human development and capacity.  We see in DeepSeek thathuman capacity cannot be stifled, and wherever it is stifled it will move to better environs.

DeepSeek has not only been revealed to be a far superior AI model, but also more cost. Efficient.  Business Insider reported that the new open source is cost competitive and has higher inference speed.  And this does make greater sense,  as Al-Arabia News reported that China increased its R&D to 500 million USD in 2024.  And that number is expected to rise after even more after its 8.3 percent rise from 2023.

Western trade and tech sanctions have forced China and the international world to look elswere for innovation, trade partners, growth and financial levity without rancor or coercion.  Most nations like people, seek greater freedoms and not less.  The world has chafed of living under threat for its success and strides toward modernity. Punitive measures have limited result and often create entrenched enemies rather than docile and compliant partners.  Particularly as the world watches the unfortunate results of purported friendships.

MSN reported Japanese chip stocks fell after the DeepSeek unveiling.  Like Japan,  Korea and other non-Western allies have also staked their fortunes and futures on the empty promises of a friend-shored world that maintains the old hegemonic order.  A concept that fails the test of supply chain and efficient innovation.  The old order is unravelling on its own.  The self delusion is palpable along with its staggering losses, which the Biden Administration demonstrated when it torpedoed the robust US Steel and Nippon Steel acquisition, Reuters reported. Talks are currently in the works for a new deal via Activist Ancora to halt all merger talks and oust the US Steel CEO.

The US has been mobilizing its oligarchs and billionaires to save the US economy and various industries teetering on the verge of collapse. Tech unfortunately falls among those sensitive industries as Silicon Valley  dries up and innovation and funding lock up in silos of limited access.  Therefore those with exclusive access are tasked with discovering the fix.  Therefore, the gravity cannot be lost that Berkshire Hathaway has bought billions in unwanted US treaauries and CNA Insider reports Bloomberg has indicated an intent to  fund UN climate initiatives under the Paris Agreement.  The Tesla owner has been leveraged heavily by the Pentegon and the Biden Administration on everything from rocket science, satelites and social media platforms. 

But take a closer look, these mechanizations are inefficient and slow.  They do not possess the dynamics of people to people process which requires the voluntary participation of the general population in innovation, industry and economic growth.  This late stage model decline can be seen in various similar form nations. These silos make saving the economy and industry clunky and slow.  The reams of regulations, anti-small business measures and low liquidity make innovation in the system clumsy.  In fact the averice for  greater profits, valuations and cloistered investors networks often bolster good ideas, but not great ideas that innovate or lead to market dominance.  And while a closed market may be dominated through policy and controls, an open world market teuly cannot. It will find a way

Instead of inclusive reinvention and innovation, aging technology becomes forced and over monetized without adequate user benefit.  Even access is made difficult and algorithms work against users making new tech less and less enjoyable or useful in some enclaves. A death nell for innovation.  The pending Tiktok ban offers a great example of slick, modern tech weighed down by reams of regulation and protectionism--paranoia if you will.  Roughly one week before the initial Tiktik ban in January, thousands of US users CrowdPlatformed a Chinese app called Xiaohonshu or Red Notebook. An Estimated 500,000 migrated to that similar app.  There is handwriting on the wall if one cares to read it.

There will be old tech and new tech in the future.  The most efficient and cost effective may win the day.  Much as we see the power of supply chain and the revitalization of novel international trade relations, the world has a mandate to grow.  And as we see with DeepSeek/Shengdu it will grow. Western industry began globalizing in earnest in the 1960s, but tech is globalizing powerfully again in the present age.

Former colonial states and colonies often grapple with this delima as well.  They are often too married to the concept of class and tribal stratification to harness the ingenuity of all their citizens. Resources are always behind a paywall and therefore growth is incremental and small. The 10 percent in those economies cannot innovate like a well resourced and supported 90 could. Early US growth was enormous because it had free labor and intellectual property which it leveraged from its enslaved class. Also many Western Eurozone states had access to US advancement and a massive footprint in Africa, Asia and Latin America. That footprint is shrinking, by a slowing population and less valuable financial status  Such measures were also undergirded in a small way by its diversity measures which were recently scrapped.

And as these new tech measures revolutionize the market, the need for special minerals will grow.  It will be necessary to move excavation, mining and sale into a more  organized system.  Currently the upheavals in central Africa and other mineral rich enclaves underscore this need.  The advanced age is moving toward efficiency and not just access. It will be necessary to change the dialogue surrounding the free movement of "rebels" and mercenary groups and weapons to create systems that fit the future and more modern supply chains.  The tech leaders of the future will become more efficient. 

It will be interesting to see how nations will grow by applying a limited approaches to innovation and latent talent pools. Many Western states are cutting off their lifeline to talent domestically. There will be silent revolts like the Tiktok Crowdplatforming as local populations realize they have been disenfranchised. More financial, intellectual, educational and resource prohibitions will only serve to slow innovation and economic growth in needed areas. That is apparent. 

Shendu technology reveals not only its innovation, but its freedom to innovate. It also demonstrates that many quadrants of the world are growing more savvy on their own, growing more advanced, and more strategic over time. Many have falsely assumed the world would sit still and wait. Or that the world would follow them into more restrictions that limit innovation and global competitiveness.   Rather, some states have taken the initiative to move forward in powerful ways.

Change is constant, and the new DeepSeek AI reveals just that.  It also reveals that some states when forced to innovate answer the call. Punitive sanctions and adversarial geopolitical moves are forcing nations to become more competent and more self reliant.  They are creating an entirely new world. Many are not relying on financial gifts and status quo umbrage to merely maintain. Many are making their own way, and it seems in the future we will all have to follow their lead

Galvanized Steel Process: A Comprehensive Guide

Galvanized steel is a cornerstone of modern construction and industrial applications, prized for its durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance. The key to its resilience lies in the galvanization process, which involves coating steel or iron with a protective layer of zinc. This article explores the galvanized steel process step by step, providing a deeper understanding of its benefits and applications.

What is Galvanized Steel?

Galvanized steel is steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. This zinc layer acts as a barrier against environmental elements such as moisture and oxygen, which can cause rust and weaken the material over time. The galvanization process is particularly beneficial for steel used in construction, automotive, and agricultural industries, where exposure to harsh conditions is common.

The Galvanization Process

The galvanization process typically involves hot-dip galvanizing, a method that ensures a durable and uniform zinc coating. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

1. Surface Preparation

Degreasing: The steel is cleaned using an alkaline solution to remove grease, oil, and dirt. This ensures the zinc coating adheres properly.

Pickling: The steel is immersed in a bath of diluted acid to remove rust, scale, and other surface impurities.

Rinsing: The steel is rinsed thoroughly to remove residual chemicals, ensuring a clean surface for galvanizing.

2. Pre-Fluxing

The cleaned steel is dipped into a flux solution, typically containing zinc ammonium chloride. This step prevents oxidation before the steel is immersed in molten zinc, ensuring a uniform coating.

3. Hot-Dip Galvanizing

The steel is submerged in a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of approximately 450°C. The zinc reacts with the steel surface, forming a series of zinc-iron alloy layers. This process not only provides a strong bond but also enhances the durability of the coating.

4. Cooling and Inspection

After the steel is removed from the zinc bath, it is cooled in water or air. The coated steel is then inspected for uniformity, thickness, and any surface imperfections to ensure quality.

Benefits of the Galvanized Steel Process

Corrosion Resistance: The zinc coating acts as a barrier and provides sacrificial protection, preventing rust even if the coating is scratched.

Durability: Galvanized steel has a long service life, often exceeding decades, even in harsh environments.

Low Maintenance: Once galvanized, steel requires minimal upkeep, reducing maintenance costs over time.

Versatility: The process is suitable for a wide range of steel products, from structural beams to small bolts and fasteners.

Eco-Friendly: Zinc is a recyclable material, and the process itself aligns with sustainable practices in construction and manufacturing.

Applications of Galvanized Steel

Galvanized steel is used in a variety of industries, including:

Construction: Structural beams, roofing, and fencing.

Automotive: Body panels and chassis components.

Agriculture: Irrigation systems, silos, and farm equipment.

Infrastructure: Bridges, highways, and utility poles.

Energy: Solar panel frames and wind turbines.

Conclusion

The galvanized steel process is a critical innovation that has revolutionized the durability and utility of steel. By providing a robust protective layer, it ensures that steel products can withstand the test of time and harsh conditions. Whether for large infrastructure projects or everyday applications, galvanized steel is an essential material for building a sustainable and resilient future.
