Øresunds chemiske Fabriker. Øresunds chemiske Fabriker (lit. "Øresund Chemical Industries"), colloquially known as Kryolitfabrikken (The Cryolite Factory), was a cryolite processing plant established in 1859 at Strandboulevarden  in Copenhagen, Denmark.

History
The company was established as Fabrikken Øresund  by Th. Weber & Co. in 1859 based on a plan by professor Julius Thomsen (1826-1909) for manufacturing washing soda from cryolite from a cryolite factory in Greenland. The activities were later that same year expanded with an alum plant and a few years later with a Stråmasse plant.

Gustav Adolph Hagemann started working for the company as a student in 1864. In 1865, when he had completed his exams, Kryolit Mine og Handelsselskabet sent him to the US to oversee the deliveries of cryolite to the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company. In early 1856, he travelled to the US to provide technical support in connection with the first deliveries of cryolite from Greenland. With inspiration from David Alter's nearby production site, Hagemann began to work on improving methods to manufacture and purify bromine from salt well. He obtained several patents and in the spring of 1868 established his first plant in Pomeroy, Ohio.

Fabrikken Øresund was hit hard and went into administration when the market price of washing soda suddenly dropped dramatically in 1866. When Hagemann visited Denmark in the summer of 1869, C. F. Tietgen convinced him to purchase kryolitfabrikken Øresund in a partnership with Vilhelm Jørgensen (1844-1925). Hagemann then sold his bromine manufacturing activities in the US and settled permanently in Denmark.

Hagemann and Jørgensen changed the name of the company to Øresunds chemiske Fabriker in 1870. That same year they also expanded the plant with a sulfuric acid factory. The production of soda decreased from the 1870s and was discontinued in 1894. The production of sulfuric acid had already been discontinued in the 1880s as a result of a contract with Fredens Mølle. The core activity was from then on purification of cryolite for use in the global aluminium, glass and enamel industries.

The company was in 1902 converted into a public limited company (aktieselskab). In 1912 it was converted into a kommanditselskab solely owned by Vilhelm Jørgensen's son, C. F. Jarl (born1872).

Kryolitselskabet Øresund A/S
The company's cryolite was on 1 January 1940 ceded to Kryolitselskabet Øresund A/S (a company founded by Greenland's Home Office), Kryolith Mine og Handels Selskabet A/S and Øresunds chemiske Fabriker.

Kryolitselskabet Øresund A/S took over Øresunds Chemiske Fabrikker's premises on Strandboulevard. The head office of Øresunds Chemiske Fabrikker was instead moved to  Østbanegade 121.

The Strandboulevarden plant closed in 1990. The company merged with Incentive A/S in 1882, and Incentive A/S went bankrupt in 2004.

Denis Gratias. Denis Gratias, born on 22 September 1947 in Paris (France) is a French scientist, emeritus research director at the CNRS. His speciality is materials science, in particular crystallography. Since the discovery of quasicrystals by Dan Shechtman in 1982, he has contributed to their description, notably by developing theoretical models. He is a correspondent member at the French Academy of Sciences since 1994.

Biography 
Denis Gratias graduated as a chemical engineer in 1970 at Chimie ParisTech. In 1978, Denis Gratias defended his PhD thesis at the Structural Metallurgy Laboratory (CNRS-ENSCP), entitled Cristallography of interfaces in homogeneous crystals and developed with Richard Portier a formalism of fast electron diffraction. He then completed his post-doctoral training at the University of California at Berkeley (USA) where he was interested in the problems of statistical thermodynamics of generalized mean field (Cluster Variation Method).

Back in France, he took up his position at the Centre d'Études de Chimie Métallurgique (CECM), CNRS laboratory in Vitry-sur-Seine (France), but was soon invited by John-Werner Cahn to the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of California at Santa Barbara (USA) to participate in an interdisciplinary collaboration on theoretical physics and materials science. It was on this occasion that he was confronted with the unresolved problem of the 5th-order diffraction observed in April 1982 by Dan Shechtman. He contributed to the seminal paper of 1984 announcing the discovery of quasicrystals.

Upon his return, a long period of intense collaboration on crystallography began between the CECM at Vitry and the Centre de physique théorique (CPHT) of the École Polytechnique with Marianne Quiquandon, André Katz and Michel Duneau.

In 2000, Denis Gratias and his wife Marianne Quiquandon moved to Châtillon to the Laboratoire d'étude des microstructures (LEM [archive], a joint ONERA-CNRS laboratory), which he directed until 2009.

Since 2014, he has been CNRS Emeritus Research Director assigned to Chimie ParisTech, at the Institut de Recherche de Chimie Paris (IRCP), within the structural metallurgy team.

Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park. The Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park is a combined wind and solar farm under construction south of Port Augusta in South Australia, Australia. The solar farm is planned to be at the northern end of the site, west of the Augusta Highway and south of Sundrop Farms. The wind turbines will be on both sides of the Augusta Highway, extending south as far as the road to Horrocks Pass. Construction formally started in October 2020 and is estimated to take about 18 months to complete. The total site is about .

The project was developed by DP Energy, but prior to construction, Spanish company Iberdrola committed to investing  and will eventually own stage 1 after DP Energy manages its construction.

What was originally known as "Stage 1" is planned to comprise 210MW of wind generation and 107MW of solar generation. The original "Stage 2" remains owned by DP Energy and is proposed to include more solar photovoltaic generation and a grid connected battery. The developer claims that the  combination of wind, solar, battery and synchronous condensers combine to create a renewable energy power station. The former Stage 2 is now called Bluebush Solar.

The wind turbines were originally approved to have a maximum height (to the tip of the blades) of  but in June 2019, this approval was increased to . The revised plan raises the hub height to , nominal generating capacity of each turbine to 4.5MW, and reduces the number of turbines from 59 to 50. The wind turbines will be supplied by Vestas and solar components supplied by Downer Group.

Iberdrola announced on 23 September 2021 that the last of the 50 wind turbines had been installed. It would be connected to the grid a few months later.

In October 2021, it was announced that the primary customer for electricity from the facility will be the Olympic Dam mine owned by BHP.

Coining press. A coining press is a manually operated machine that mints coins from planchets. After centuries it was replaced by more modern machines.

Presses came in multiple shapes and with different accessories (to collect the coins, etc.) They were made of cast iron. The basic elements are:

 A triumphal arch with a built-in base
 A vertically arranged leadscrew that supported an inertia wheel or more commonly, a piece made up of two radial arms with weights at the ends.
 The leadscrew (male) rotates inside a threaded (female) nut. The nut is attached to the structure. The turn of the inertia wheel (or bar with weights) determines the rotation of the thread bar and its vertical displacement (up or down depending on the direction of rotation).
 Vertical guides allow vertical displacement of the holder (upper die) without rotating.

Operation 
Each coin is formed in a single operation. The press holds two negatives (molds that show each side of the coin) The body (material from which the coin is to be formed) is placed on the lower negative and the upper negative is lowered to create pressure sufficient to emboss the negatives onto the body. The upper negative descends directly without turning, pushed by a threaded bar that rotates, turned by a lever, compensated by an anti-torsion system.  It is called a cold deformation as no heat is applied.

History 
Before the press, coins were minted with a hammer:
