1922–23 MIT Engineers men's ice hockey season. The 1922–23 MIT Engineers men's ice hockey season was the 22nd season of play for the program. The Engineers were coached by Al Blacklock in his 1st season.

Season
With a new coach and half of the players new to the program, the Engineers had precious little time to get ready for their first game of the season. Despite the early start, MIT was nonetheless able to defeat Boston University in the opening match. With almost a month until the next game, the Engineers spent whatever time they could scrounge at the Boston Arena, preparing for the showdown with Princeton. Unfortunately, MIT was no match for the mighty Tigers and the Bostonians were swept off of the brand new Hobey Baker Memorial Rink. The following week, the team was blanked for a second time at the hands of Boston College. While those results weren't encouraging, the two losses came against two of the best teams in college hockey.

MIT was able to get back on the winning side of the ledger in their rematch with BU. Though it was a much closer game, the Engineers proved to be the superior squad and then carried that momentum into a win over Army a few days later. January ended with the team facing its old nemesis, Harvard, with MIT still hopelessly outgunned by the college hockey elite. Harvard steamrolled the Engineers 0–10, which was a portent of things to come. In their final two matches, MIT faced two more Ivy League teams and saw similar results in both. While their defense was slightly better against Yale, they suffered their worse loss on the year in the finale against Dartmouth.

Boynton Fletcher served as team manager with Theodore Butler and Walton Jarman as his assistants.

Hydrogen fuel cell power plant. A hydrogen fuel cell power plant is a type of fuel cell power plant (or station) which uses a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity for the power grid. They are larger in scale than backup generators such as the Bloom Energy Server and can be up to 60% efficient in converting hydrogen to electricity. There is little to no nitrous oxide produced in the fuel cell process, which is produced in the process of a combined cycle hydrogen power plant.  If the hydrogen could be produced with electrolysis also known as green hydrogen, then this could be a solution to the energy storage problem of renewable energy.

Shinincheon Bitdream Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Plant
The Shinincheon Bitdream Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Plant in Incheon, South Korea can produce 78.96 MegaWatts of power.  It opened in 2021 and is one of the first large scale fuel cell power plants for the grid, rather than just a backup generator.  The plant will also purify the air by sucking in 2.4 tons of fine dust per year and filtering it out of the air. It will also produce hot water as a by-product that will be used to heat houses locally, also known as district heating.

Cogeneration or combined cycle
Fuel cells produce a lot of hot water and a cogeneration or combined cycle could be used for further benefit or to produce more electricity with a steam turbine, increasing the efficiency to >80% using a Phosphoric acid fuel cell.

Water uses

Further studies are needed to see if the water is potable.  Places that are dry and have water shortages could use the water for agriculture or other greywater uses. Another use would be to use the hot water by-product for High-temperature electrolysis for more hydrogen fuel.

High temperature electrolysis at nuclear power plants

 
High-temperature electrolysis at nuclear power plants could produce hydrogen at scale and more efficiently. The DOE Office of Nuclear Energy has demonstration projects to test 3 nuclear facilities in the United States at:

 Nine Mile Point Nuclear Generating Station in Oswego, NY
 Davis–Besse Nuclear Power Station in Oak Harbor, Ohio
 Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant in Red Wing, Minnesota

Ballmer Peak. The Ballmer Peak is a humorous concept invented by Randall Munroe in the xkcd webcomic, claiming that a programmer who is appropriately intoxicated can achieve a high level of productivity. The concept loosely tied to former Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, and is likely a play on Balmer series of hydrogen spectral lines named for the scientist Johann Balmer.

A San Francisco organization, Originate, has organized a “Ballmer Peak-A-Thon”, an open bar event where people were given “5 hours to find the elusive Ballmer peak, and build the best worst business possible.” 

There is no scientific basis for the Ballmer Peak, though researchers have studied adjacent topics, such as the impact of inebriation on problem solving. In addition, the Ballmer Peak has been the subject of satirical academic studies, including a 2024 paper presented at SIGBOVIK, a satirical computer science conference organized by Carnegie Mellon students, which caught broader attention in the programming community. That study, which tested blood alcohol levels of only one male subject tackling competitive computer programming questions, found no evidence of a sudden “peak” of programming ability but did generally find that speed of solving the challenges increased with some alcohol consumption before a rapid decline.

By the time of Ballmer’s 2013 announcement of his retirement from Microsoft, the concept of the “Ballmer Peak” was entrenched enough that media joked that the actual Ballmer Peak was the resulting jump in stock price.

Gwadar–Kashgar Crude Oil Pipeline. The Gwadar–Kashgar Crude Oil Pipeline is a planned initiative intending to build a crude oil pipeline connecting Gwadar, Pakistan to Kashgar, China. The project has approximated an investment of a substantial amount, around $10 billion, for the pipeline's construction. The anticipated transmission capacity of the pipeline is projected to reach up to one million barrels per day.

Background
The pipeline holds strategic significance by enabling diversification and acceleration of crude oil imports for Beijing. Given Gwadar's proximity to the Persian Gulf, where approximately 40% of the world's crude oil is sourced, this venture is vital. Sources suggest that China currently satisfies 50% of its oil demand by importing from the Middle East. The pipeline is expected to substantially shorten the transportation distance for delivering crude oil to China, ultimately bolstering energy security.

Economic impact
The Gwadar–Kashgar Crude Oil Pipeline possesses the potential to reshape not only Pakistan's economy but also the broader region, sparking economic growth and fostering prosperity. This pipeline initiative is anticipated to stimulate economic activities, leading to positive financial outcomes for the region.
