Łysa Góra is a sandy dune in the marshes of the Orzyc River valley the site was used by the so-called West Balt Barrow Culture But evidence suggests that in the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. Celts appeared at the defensive settlement—probably to guard an amber trade route "The discovery of the helmet indicates that Łysa Góra was a very important place on the route—a type of trading post," Kaczyński said Previous archaeological investigations at Łysa Góra conducted as late as the 1970s and 1980s yielded La Tène artifacts but they were mostly small and primarily fragments of objects that may have ended up at the site as a result of trade the helmet is an example of the most advanced Celtic metallurgy and it seems that it may have been in the possession of a Celt It was probably not given to this population which existed at that time on the outskirts of any ancient world," Kaczyński told Science in Poland is evidence of the presence of the Celts—it is the most documented place of their stay in the northeast then one could consider trade or so-called import," Kaczyński told Newsweek "It probably served not only a function of emphasizing the position of its owner It was an item associated with Celtic elites as evidenced by the finds of similar helmets from princely burials in Durrnberg near Hallein The recent investigations at Łysa Góra also uncovered hundreds of other items related to farming The team excavated so-called ax blades—iron axes with rectangular sections They also found scythes for cutting grass or grain probably designed for trimming sheep's wool Do you have a tip on a science story that Newsweek should be covering ET: This article was updated to include additional comment from Bartłomiej Kaczyński Newsweek is committed to challenging conventional wisdom and finding connections in the search for common ground Newsletters in your inbox See all At ABB we are this year celebrating a grand milestone - 90 years of continuous innovation and improvement of the IEC medium-voltage fuses production This anniversary has been the occasion for the IEC fuses’ factory in Przasnysz to celebrate the history the changes and continuous improvements that lead the ABB fuses get to the remarkable 90th birthday Fuses may seem like simple everyday products but their use is significant as they provide main or back-up protection against short circuit in medium-voltage installations They are small in dimensions but crucial protective devices in electrical equipment The earliest evidence of “ABB” fuse production in Europe is to be found in Poland in the 1930s the ABB IEC fuses heritage has its roots in a company located in Warsaw Where it began – Edison and the electrification development in the 19th century The history of fuses for medium-voltage applications begins much earlier than 1930. It is not entirely clear to whom the title of “inventor” of the Fuse can be assigned, as similar solutions appeared in many places simultaneously, but it is worth noting that a fuse was patented by Thomas Edison in 1890 (U.S. Patent 0,438,305) It’s clear that from the very beginning of the electrification development the fuse has been one of the essential protective components in all electrical equipment The first ABB fuses dedicated to MV applications manufactured in Europe had a simple design: two support insulators on a cast iron plate a bakelite tube with two contacts and one silver fuse strip so did the demand for better electrical protective solutions (larger current range and greater breaking capacity) making it necessary to have better performing electrical components and therefore fuses In the 60’s the range of fuses available was expanded with new fuse types for voltage transformers and traction applications similar development processes happened in Sweden and Norway where fuses for medium-voltage transformer protection from ASEA Sweden and Norsk Elektrisk & Brown Boveri A/S (NEBB) in Norway Fuses for operating voltages up to 72.5 kV and a new fuse type addressed to the new ANSI markets were supplied for the global markets to increase the current and voltage range and the fuse performance it was necessary to wind the fuse element on some internal structure - the insulating core was the early concept on which the most popular ABB fuses family (ABB CEF fuses) were developed The task of the fuses passed from not only disconnecting short-circuit currents The golden age: from ABB hero fuse to the new standards chair of the IEEE High Voltage Fuses Subcommittee and author of “A High-Voltage Fuse Tutorial and Application Guide” or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the fuse protection 70’s and 80’s are called the "golden age" in the development of fuses The product portfolio of our predecessors and pioneers in the field of protection at that time was extremely rich and diverse national and international standards were developed to describe the products and their features and the best design solutions as well as test practices were developed Although the concept of fuse design with a conductive wire connected to two terminals remains unchanged for many years the way it is now designed has been driven by a constantly growing range of fuse applications and ever-changing market requirements Those continuous improvements include the housing of fuses in canisters This was one of the major factors forcing fuse manufacturers to revise the fuse design to make them suitable for these specific applications with possible short- and long-term overloads The performance of fuses designed with silver tape had been optimized and we are still benefitting from this improvement Continual improvements have led to two different popular fuse design concepts available on the market today The first has a thermal striker pin added to the standard design of silver tape and the second one with overload spots -drops of material having lower melting temperature placed over silver tape The ABB product portfolio offers both designs having the best impact on significant temperature limitation around the fuse ABB’s unique design with TCU (Temperature Control Unit) and overload spots provides operational safety in RMU applications ABB’s development and production of MV fuses for the IEC market are carried out in Przasnysz where the rich fuse types portfolio was consolidated and production and development have been updated by R&D process throughout recent years Families and generations of fuses have been added and developed following one goal: to increase the quality of our products and deliver safe and proven solutions that contribute significantly to the reliable energy supply ABB's website uses cookies.

The machine is brought into service of the WUT Aviation Research Centre “OBLOT”, located at the airport in Sieraków, near Przasnysz, writes the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) in a press release The design is just another result of works related to electromobility in aviation carried out at WUT The motor glider has been developed for the purpose of researching new low-emission aviation power units “We want to use the PW-X10 platform for testing complete electric power units and their components power supply systems obtained from electrochemical cells photovoltaic cells or energy flow management systems” says Wojciech Frączek from the Institute of Aeronautics and Applied Mechanics at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering The new motor glider is also to serve other research planned in the “ODLOT” centre in Przasnysz the study of composite structures in conditions of natural exploitation or the spectrum of loads on the airframe structure in terms of service life tests The PW-X10 platform is made of hybrid polymer composites The creators diversified the structure of the materials In the front part of the fuselage with the cockpit a composite reinforced with glass fibers was used The motor glider is equipped with an FES (Front Electric Susteiner) It provides a climb of 1.7 m/s with the maximum weight of the platform while during the flight of only one person it reaches 2.5 m/s especially since the use of such a propulsion system in a two-seat glider is a novelty” emphasizes Wojciech Frączek The batteries supplying the drive unit were made using the lithium-polymer technology The creators of PW-X10 chose the best batteries available on the market that meet the requirements for this design The system has a built-in BMS surveillance system and is located in a special chamber isolated from the cockpit All of this to ensure an adequate level of safety Various types of test equipment will be installed on the PW-X10 the hull in the central part has been supplemented with external attachment points for additional equipment as part of the reconfiguration of the platform an external power generator with a capacity of approx which will be used to test the hybrid power supply system” explains Wojciech Frączek The design of the new glider is the work of the team of Prof Piotr Czarnocki from the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering The work was divided into two stages: design and testing of new wings (2018-2019) and design and testing of a new hull tail units and control systems (2020-2021) It would not have been possible to create such a structure without many years of experience and fruitful cooperation with specialists from outside the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering and the “OBLOT” centre PW-X10 is another fruit of the ULS Program implemented for over 40 years at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering consisting of the construction and research of innovative aircrafts one-seater ULS-PW and PW-2 Gapa gliders were created two-seater PW-4 motor glider or one-seater PW-5 Smyk – the winner of the world competition for the Olympic glider monotype The last designs before PW-X10 are a two-seat motor glider with electric drive AOS-71 (the effect of the work of the team of Prof Krzysztof Arczewski) and an experimental motor glider with AOS-H2 hybrid hydrogen propulsion (developed by the team of Prof Piotr Czarnocki in consortium cooperation with Grzegorz Iwański from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at WUT) PW-X10 was built by the “Jeżów” Glider Plant in Jeżów Sudecki with which the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering has already successfully cooperated in the work on previous structures The flight and test flights took place at the airport in Jelenia Góra Jerzy Kędzierski – a graduate of the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering “The platform launches took place in the lobby behind the “immortal” Jak-12 aircraft” says Wojciech Frączek the pilot carried out a flight program that included checking the behaviour of the platform in sliding flights and with the power unit switched on.” Now PW-X10 is waiting in the hangar of the “OBLOT”

MFW Bałtyk II and MFW Bałtyk III, located in the Baltic Sea approximately 27 km and 40 km from the port of Łeba, are two of the largest and most advanced offshore wind farms being developed in Poland. Once operational, the wind farms will have a total installed capacity of 1440 MW, enough to power more than 2 million Polish homes. In addition, Hitachi Energy is also responsible for delivery of the overall power control system, overall telecom network, all high voltage equipment at the offshore substation and the onshore substation, as well as turnkey delivery of the whole onshore substation. The contract also covers interface work at the grid connection in Slupsk. “This is another key milestone for these offshore wind projects, which will supply domestically produced renewable energy to the Polish power grid. We look forward to working with Hitachi Energy in Poland and their local subcontractors on bringing this competitive source of renewable energy to Poland,” says Michał Kołodziejczyk, country manager of Equinor in Poland. “Earlier this year Equinor signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Hitachi Energy to work more closely together on future projects. This contract is the first since then, and we are very pleased to move into execution of our collaboration. We look forward to developing a local supply chain for electrical infrastructure to offshore wind farms along with Hitachi Energy in Poland,” says Mette H. Ottøy, chief procurement officer in Equinor. Hitachi Energy has been present in Poland for 97 years, and have approximately 2.500 employees in Poland, with offices, technology, research and engineering centers in Warsaw, Krakow, Wrocław, Lublin, Katowice, Poznań and Gdańsk, as well as factories in Łódź and Przasnysz. The contract targets between 25% and 35% of the contract value to be invested locally. This is based on the total contract value, including equipment procurement from 3rd parties. The combined capacity of both projects (1440 MW) represents a substantial part of the first phase of Polish offshore wind industry development scheme with a total capacity of 5900 MW. MFW Bałtyk II and III were awarded Contracts for Difference (CfDs) in May 2021 by Poland’s Energy Regulatory Office (ERO). The final investment decision for both projects is subject to obtaining the necessary permits and is planned for 2024 with the first power delivered to the grid in 2027. Equinor: Magnus F.

persons misrepresenting our organization © FootyStats - Built with Love for The Beautiful Game the Kross brand has definitely made great strides in the recent decade First they achieved unparalleled success in their homeland having significant effect on the bike market in Hungary as well The brand’s popularity is partly due to the strong presence in the cross and trekking bike category their models offer extraordinary level of technology and quality paired with reasonable pricing In the center of this popular segment is the Evado model range catering for all budgets and expectations from entry level to top spec I had a chance to try out the cream of the crop among the Evado cross-touring bikes The Evado 10.0 frame is made from so-called Aluminum Lite material also providing great comfort and low weight thanks to the advanced internal butted technology Stability is a given based on the large cross-section of the aluminum frame tubes which Kross designers have shaped to improve aesthetics The small tweaks in the frame lines are certainly pleasing to the eye raising the Evado above the competition in this conventionally rather conservative segment of the bike market most welding joints as nicely finished with a smooth surface and Kross should be applauded for mounting high-end Jagwire housing and cables Equipment-wise we get an almost complete Shimano XT T8000 group set save for the the Deore-level front derailleur and hubs the RockShox Paragon front fork is arguably one of the best units available presently on the market it stands out with its golden anodization on the stanchions Suspension performance is undoubtedly superior to the typical budget fork options on trekking and cross models but some minor teaks were still needed to realize all its potential – especially concerning rebound dampening The 65 mm travel provides more than adequate comfort for the given riding style making biking a pleasant experience even on unpaved forest roads The accessories mostly come from Kross’s own range of products tuned more for comfort than outmost performance Hence the stem gives a significant rise to the handlebar The resulting body position is quite upright but can easily be modified by altering the setup or swapping out some of the above-mention components but in our experience the plastic clamp attachment is prone to brakeage when the bike is accidently tipped over A more durable aluminum clamp design would have been a wiser choice for a bike designed for adventure riding The Selle Royal Lookin Sport saddle fits nicely into the comfort theme with ample of gel padding The wheels turn on the conventional ball bearings in the well-proven Shimano Deore hub they are laced elegantly with black spokes to the double wall aluminum rims The wheels are topped by Schwalbe Marathon Mondial tires which are neither light or fast rolling but offer great durability with advanced puncture protection to boot which would have provided more resistance against the pulling forces of the disc brakes At this price level such skimpy attitude makes no sense in my opinion The Kross Evado 10.0 provides the uppermost level in specification for cross bikes on the market with a price tag to match Very few manufacturers offer this kind of luxury in this market segment – mainly due to the diminishing interest and spending power We should commend the polish brand for taking the bold move to introduce the Evado 10.0 catering primarily for the customer who has got used to the fine performance and smooth operation of the XT components on a mountain bike Such cyclists certainly don’t wish to downgrade when buying a cross bike for more diverse riding styles I use diverse bikes for different riding styles I have hold no great anticipations component-wise this is clearly a special high-end cross bike there are some aspects of the Evado 10.0 which I’d change if it was mine I feel the stem is too long for a cross bike and it slows handling by a considerable margin A shorter stem would provide more agility and a better ride experience I’d also question some of the set-up choices made by the manufacturer when assembling the bike The bike is far from ready to ride right from the box quite a few adjustments were needed for safe and comfortable cycling This is where the retail shop comes into the picture Since Kross bikes are sold in LBS and not through mail order the shop mechanics will have a chance to correct the maladjustments and set up the Evado for your personal needs So I advise you to purchase this bike from an LBS making riding the Evado enjoyable for many years to come The cross-touring bike category offers many advantages but doesn’t excel at any one type of riding condition It’s designed for cyclists who don’t want to choose on what road surface they ride pedaling comfortably where ever the route takes them For this approach the Kross Evado 10.0 offers full luxury it has top-tier equipment designed to serve the cyclist for a decade or even longer As the cost of this model is unusually high in this market segment those interested is advised to consider its sibling directly below the lineup The Evado 9.0 costs precisely HUF 100,000 less making it approximately 20% less expensive but lacks little in the way of equipment selection It obviously represents above average performance in the cross-touring category
