Hydrogen powered train
The Train de Charlevoix will start running in June 2023 after trial journeys in Sweden. It will be powered entirely by green hydrogen and will emit only water vapour. The train will follow a 90-minute route from the centre of Québec, stopping at 7 towns along the banks of the St Lawrence River. It was built by French rail firm Alstom. Its technology is already up and running in Europe, including the world’s first hydrogen-powered passenger train, in Germany. #hydrogen #train #transport #northamerica #hydrogentrain

4min clip - The #diving #gondola: a strange elevator to the ocean floor
text from youtube "On the German coast of the Baltic Sea, there's a tourist attraction that I think is very strange: the "Tauchgondel", a room that sinks under the waves and lets you go diving... without getting wet."

💖 Huge and sincere thank you to MoMA for making it available online in such great quality.
🎞 Upscaled with neural networks footage of "Wuppertal Schwebebahn" shot in 1902. Btw, the train system hasn‘t changed much and still functional. The "Schwebebahn" was built mostly over the river to save space."

14min #crashcourse #Italian and #German #Unification: Crash Course World History #27
text from youtube "So, we haven't talked much about Italy and Germany so far in Crash Course Euro, and that's because prior to the mid-19th century, those two nation-states weren't really a thing. Today we'll look at how Italy and Germany pulled it together in the second half of the 1800s. You'll learn about Guisseppe Garibaldi, Victor Emmanuelle, Otto von Bismarck, Wilhelm I, and a whole heck of a lot about the development of modern politics.
