Technical Principles and Thermal Properties of Steel for Heat Storage Steel and steelmaking slag can both serve as sensible heat storage media, meaning they store thermal energy by increasing in temperature without phase change. The fundamental principle is that heat Q is absorbed or released according to Q = m \, c_p \, \Delta T, […]

Introduction: Energy storage in the form of heat is emerging not just as a technical solution but as a potential store of value – analogous in some ways to money. By capturing inexpensive or excess energy as heat and releasing it when and where needed, thermal storage systems can perform value storage and arbitrage roles […]

Storing Thermal Energy in Steel and High-Capacity Materials Storing energy as heat is a well-established concept in energy engineering. In thermal energy storage (TES) systems, surplus energy (often from electricity or direct heat sources) is converted into heat and retained in a material with high thermal capacity. The basic physics relies on raising the material’s […]

Defining  Weight Sustaining Weight Sustaining is a newly envisioned concept of strength that goes beyond traditional weightlifting. Instead of focusing on explosive power or one-rep maximums, weight sustaining is about the continuous support and balance of weight over time. This can be understood in multiple dimensions: In essence, weight sustaining shifts the focus from “how […]

Leverage is a powerful concept that cuts across finance, investing, trading, and business strategy. At its core, leverage means using resources (often borrowed or external) to amplify your potential outcomes – achieving more with the same input. In the words of investor Charlie Munger, “There are only three ways a smart person can go broke: […]

Ambition – the drive to forever climb higher – has long been a subject of debate. Is it a virtue or a vice? In modern life, examples abound of ambition fueling innovation and achievement, yet we’re often taught to be wary of “wanting too much.” Below, we explore why ambition can be a virtue, how […]

Heat storage as money storage? Steel… Heat storage.

Introduction The adage “first do, then figure things out later” refers to a mindset of taking action before having all the answers or a complete plan. Instead of overanalyzing or waiting for perfect conditions, one plunges into a task or opportunity and works out the details on the fly. This approach values learning by doing […]
