Hydrogen transport. Hydrogen transport involves the use of technology to transport hydrogen from the point of generation to the point of use.

Techniques 
Hydrogen can be transported in a variety of forms.

Gas 
Hydrogen can be transported in gaseous form, typically in a pipeline. Because hydrogen gas is highly reactive, the pipeline or other container must be able to resist interacting with the gas. Hydrogen's low density at atmospheric pressure means that gas transport is suitable only for low volume requirements.

Liquid 
Hydrogen switches to the liquid phase at . Thus, transporting liquid hydrogen requires sophisticated refrigeration technologies such as cryogenic tanker trucks and liquefaction plants.

Compound 
Hydrogen can be reacted with other elements to form a variety of compounds. This allows it to be transported in either liquid (e.g., water) or solid form. One variation on this concept is to transport atomic silicon, produced using renewable energy. Mixing silicon with water separates water's oxygen from its hydrogen without requiring additional energy. The hydrogen can then be oxidixed with the oxygen (or air) to produce energy (with water as the only byproduct).

Mechanochemical 
Mechanochemistry refers to chemical reactions triggered by mechanical forces as opposed to heat, light, or electric potential. Ball milling can crush material such as boron nitride or graphene, allowing hydrogen gas to be absorbed by the powder, storing the hydrogen. The hydrogen can be released by heating the powder. These techniques offer the potential of substantial net energy savings.

Safety 

Hydrogen transport must address various safety threats.

It is highly flammable, requiring little energy to ignite. However, it is low density (0.0837 g/L), which allows leaked gas to rapidly dissipate, rather than accumulate as a higher density gas might, such as chlorine (3.214 g/L).

Liquid hydrogen requires such low temperatures that leaks may solidify other air components such as nitrogen and oxygen. Solid oxygen can mix with liquid hydrogen, forming a mixture that could self-ignite. A jet fire can also ignite.

At high concentrations, hydrogen gas is an asphyxiant, but is not otherwise toxic.

ISO Technical Committee 197 is developing standards governing hydrogen applications. Standards are available onboard systems, fuel tanks and vehicle refueling systems and for production (including electrolysis and steam methane reformers).

Individual jurisdictions such as Italy have developed additional standards.

Octamethylenediamine. Octamethylenediamine (OMDA) is an organic chemical compound from the substance group of aliphatic diamines. It is used as a versatile reaction intermediate in the manufacture of pesticides, especially fungicides.

Manufacture 
The industrial production of octamethylene diamine is carried out by the catalytic hydrogenation of suberonitrile at temperatures of 150 to 180 °C and a pressure of 50 to 180 bar in the presence of ammonia over heterogeneous cobalt unsupported catalysts:

The reaction is carried out in the liquid phase and is carried out continuously or batchwise. The catalyst is arranged as a fixed bed in a shaft, tube, or tube bundle reactor.

Characteristics 
Octamethylenediamine is a combustible but difficult to ignite. It is a solid that is easily soluble in water. The aqueous solutions are strongly alkaline (pH value of 12.1 at a concentration of 10 g/L).

Use 
Octamethylenediamine is used as a versatile intermediate in manufacturing pesticides, especially fungicides.

Safety instructions 
While octamethylenediamine is combustible, it is difficult to ignite because it is solid at moderate temperatures. It has a lower explosive limit (LEL) of 1.1 % by volume and an upper explosive limit (UEL) of 6.8 % by volume. The ignition temperature is 280 °C The substance therefore falls into temperature class T3. With a flash point of 113 °C, the liquid is considered difficult to ignite.

Émile-Huchet. Émile-Huchet is a thermal power plant, in Moselle department, France.

History 
It opened in 1948. It lies in the communes Saint-Avold and Carling. It is named after Émile Huchet (1892–1940), who was the director of the coal mine Sarrre and Moselle, from 1924 to 1939. There's also a housing complex which was built for the workers, that bears his name. That complex was built shortly afterwards, and is located south of the forest of Saint-Avold. 

For some time, the power plant was part of E.ON, and later  Uniper SE. EPH from the Czech Republic, has operated it since 2019. The part of the plant that work with gas belong to Total.

Since the 1960s, the power plant is one of the biggest thermal power plants in France. It has a production capacity od 140 MW (electrical equivalent). There are two units of 430 MW each, powered by gas.  In 2017, a total of 6.96 TWh was produced, 2.14 TWh with coal, and the remaining 4.82 TWh with gas. In early 2022,  Unit 6 of 595MW which was powered by with coal was shut down.  

Because of current problems with French nuclear power plants, and prevailing energy scarcity resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the French government is contemplating reactivating 595 MW Unit 6, but only for winter 2022.

Harry Hillaker. Harry James Hillaker (9 May 1919 – 8 February 2009) was an American aeronautical engineer, who is credited as the main designer and originator of the F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft.

Biography
Harry Hillaker was born on 9 May 1919 in Flint, Michigan, and attended Flint Northern High School.

In 1939, Hillaker attended the College of Engineering at University of Michigan, where he had studied Aeronautical Engineering.

Consolidated Aircraft/Convair
In 1941, Hillaker began his career at Consolidated Aircraft in San Diego, which, in 1943, merged with Vultee Aircraft to become Convair. Whilst at Convair, Hillaker worked on the Convair B-36 Peacemaker and the Convair B-58 Hustler.

Marriage
On 2 October 1943, Hillaker married Betty Jo Devaney of Fort Worth. He would go on to have six children with his wife, who died in 2017.

General Dynamics
In 1953 Convair was bought by General Dynamics, and in 1965 they decided to build all aircraft at Fort Worth, Texas under the General Dynamics name. At General Dynamics, Hillaker worked on the F-111

In the 1960s, Hillaker met and consulted with a group of US Air Force officers and defence analysts who became known as the Fighter Mafia due to their advocacy for simple, lightweight and maneuverable fighters, which eventually resulted in the Lightweight Fighter program. Hillaker became the chief project engineer for the Model 401, General Dynamics' submission to this program. On 8 January 1974, the prototype, now designated YF-16, arrived at Edwards Air Force Base in California, and took to the air on 2 February 1974, flown by Phil Oestricher. In January 1975, the YF-16 was selected as the winner of a flyoff competition against the Northrop YF-17, going into production as the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The F-16 went on to become one of the most successful fighters in history, with over 4.600 produced by 2024, some 2,800 of which are still in service, and production continuing for export.

Hillaker retired in 1985, but continued to consult for the US Air Force and the aerospace industry. He was inducted into the US National Academy of Engineering in 1990, and spent two terms as chairman of the Aerospace Vehicles Panel of the Air Force's Scientific Advisory Board.

Death
Harry Hillaker died on Sunday, 8 February 2009 in Texas. He was 89 years old.

EfeuCampus (eco-friendly experimental urban logistics campus) based in Bruchsal, is Germany's first research area for urban, autonomous and  emission free freight logistics on the last mile ("LastMileCityLab"). The Living lab is funded by the European Union and the state Baden-Württemberg.In addition, the campus develops solutions for smart mobility in urban areas throughout Europe. In addition to autonomous delivery robots, an emission-free cargo drone from Volocopter will also supply the campus with goods in the future.

History 
The beginnings of the project date back to 2015, when the Regionale Wirtschaftsförderung Bruchsal GmbH and the Technologieregion Karlsruhe GbR won the competition for sustainable regional development ("RegioWIN") of the state of Baden-Württemberg and awarded EfeuCampus concept as a european lighthouse project in the field of innovation centers. The project was awarded a total of 10 million euros in the first funding period (2014-2020), which came from the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE) and the state of Baden Württemberg. In 2016, EfeuCampus Bruchsal GmbH was founded by the city of Bruchsal as a wholly owned subsidiary.

Concept 
The efeuCampus project has been developed on the site of the former Dragoon Barracks ("efeuQuartier"). It is an impetus for the development of solutions for last-mile freight logistics and autonomous vehicle technology. The efeuQuartier consists of the efeuCampus with the efeuLog delivery system, where the operation of automatic delivery and automatic collection of parcels as well as the disposal of recyclable materials takes place. A depot serves as intermediate storage for incoming and outgoing goods. Autonomous transport robots deliver the goods to the neighbourhood depot in front of the residents' houses. Communication with the delivery robots takes place via an app. Pick-up points placed in front of the houses guarantee a smooth process.

Wall of Wind. The Wall of Wind (WoW) is a large scale wind engineering testing facility at Florida International University. The original version, with two fans, was completed in 2005 and upgraded to six fans in 2007—sufficient to generate winds of up to . After being upgraded to 12 fans in 2012, the Wall of Wind became capable of generating winds of , near the top wind speed of 1992's Hurricane Andrew; this made it the only facility at a university that could generate Category 5 hurricane wind speeds.

In addition to aerodynamic test at large-scale and high wind speeds, the facility allows for wind-driven rain testing of building envelopes as well as destructive testing of low-rise test buildings constructed with actual materials. Testing on the earlier Wall of Wind setups led to the design of screens for rooftop air conditioners that reduce wind pressure by up to 58 percent and which were adopted into Florida building codes. At a media preview of the upgraded Wall of Wind in 2012, a demonstration between roofs built under pre- and post-Andrew codes was conducted. In 2015, the National Science Foundation (NSF) selected the Wall of Wind as one of the nation's major "Experimental Facilities" under the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) competition.

Because of the increasing wind speeds associated with storms such as Hurricane Dorian and the fact that the Wall of Wind cannot account for wave damage, FIU scientists in 2022 received a $12.8 million NSF grant to develop a new testing system known as National Full-Scale Testing Infrastructure for Community Hardening in Extreme Wind, Surge, and Wave Events (NICHE).
