Ever seen water blasting into a jet engine? this is a compressor wash! Sprays H2O + cleaner to scrub off grime from blades, boosting efficiency & cutting fuel burn. Done every few hundred hours to keep them running. Routine every 100-300 cycles to fight corrosion. What's the weirdest plane...

Two British men built the machine that changed the world. 🇬🇧⚙️ An ironmonger. And a plumber. You've never heard of either of them. 1690s. Britain's mines were drowning. The deeper they went, the more they flooded. Men drowned in those tunnels. Children hauled water out by hand. Bucket by bucket. When the water won, the mine closed. And the village starved. Thomas Newcomen. Ironmonger. Dartmouth, Devon. John Calley. Plumber and glazier. Both Baptists. Both barred from the universities. Both outsiders. One knew metal. The other knew water. They worked for a decade. With their own money. No patron. No institution. Just a forge, a bench, and an idea. For years, it wouldn't work. Then cold water leaked through a crack. The steam condensed instantly. The engine fired. The flaw was the answer. 1712. A coal mine near Dudley Castle. They built their engine at the pit head. Twelve strokes a minute. Ten gallons a stroke. Not horses. Not children. A machine. But they couldn't patent it. Thomas Savery already held the rights — to every engine that raised water by fire. Even machines he never built. Calley died in Holland. 1725. Far from home. Still working on their engine. Newcomen died in London. 1729. His grave is lost. Decades later, a young man was asked to fix a model of their engine. While fixing it, he saw how to improve it. His name was James Watt. You've heard of him. But without them, there is no engine for Watt to fix. No Industrial Revolution. No modern world. Every factory. Every railway. Every power station. British men. An ironmonger. And a plumber. And that's only a fraction of what we have done for the world. 🇬🇧 Names like theirs are buried everywhere. We dig them out. No sponsors. No algorithms. Just a community that believes its true history matters. Our community makes that happen 👉 Be part of us.🙏 Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

🚨 donate urgently to provide water to the children of gaza. 🚨 👉 donate now: In Gaza… The water has been cut off. And for families living in tents, there is nowhere to escape the heat, the thirst, or the fear. Children wake up asking for water. Mothers search desperately for something safe to give them. Families walk for hours carrying empty containers, hoping to return with enough water to survive another day. 💔 Imagine living in a fragile tent with your children while the water stops… No tap. No safe supply. No way to simply turn on a faucet. Just thirst. And waiting. 🚨 Despite the exhaustion, the destruction, and the devastating collapse in donations… we are still working. We are still inside Gaza. Still moving between displacement camps. Still carrying water to families living in tents. Still doing everything we can to put clean water into the hands of children. We are tired. But we cannot stop. Because behind every empty water container is a child waiting to drink. Behind every tent is a family waiting for help. And every day without water makes their suffering worse. Water is not a luxury. Water is survival. We are deeply grateful to those who have stood beside us and helped give this work a voice: ✨ William Menaker (Will 🦥 Menaker) 🔥 Felix (GoliathFan1952) 🤍 Eyup Lovely (Eyup Lovely) Your voices have helped bring attention to families who desperately need to be heard. But today, the need is still here. The water is still running out. The families are still waiting. And our team is still working despite the exhaustion. Please don’t let another child go to sleep thirsty tonight. 👉 donate now: Every donation can help us continue delivering clean water to displaced families and children in Gaza. Every share can help this reach someone who can help. Despite everything, we are still here. Despite the exhaustion, we are still working. Please help us keep water reaching Gaza’s children. 🇵🇸🤍

This is the most powerful commercial jet engine currently flying on an operational airliner. The GE90-115B was built by GE Aerospace specifically for the Boeing 777-300ER. It weighs around 8.3 tonnes, has a 3.25 metre wide fan and produces up to 512 kN (115,000 lbf) of thrust from a single engine. To understand the sheer scale of that output, it produces roughly 2.7 times the thrust of the F135 jet engine powering the F-35, the most powerful fighter engine currently in service. The enormous fan at the front uses just 22 carbon fibre composite blades with titanium leading edges. At maximum thrust, it pulls in roughly 1.4 tonnes of air every second, with nearly 90% bypassing the core rather than passing through the combustor. At around 150 knots during takeoff, its 512 kn of thrust corresponds to roughly 39.5 MW of propulsive power, or in automotive terms around 53,000 hp from one engine. And it burns roughly 4-5 kg of jet fuel every second at maximum power conditions. Two of these engines are enough to power a fully loaded 777-300ER weighing more than 350 tonnes. Even if one engine fails after the critical point during takeoff, the aircraft is certified to continue the takeoff and climb on the remaining one GE90 engine. Each engine costs around $35-40 million. More than 2,500, GE90s engines have been built, and the GE90 family has accumulated nearly 130 million flight hours. And this is precisely why companies like GE Aerospace remain so difficult to displace in jet engines. There is never one breakthrough. GE spent roughly $2+ billion developing the GE90, chasing small gains across hundreds of systems, efficiency, materials, reliability and component life.

🚨 donate urgently to provide water for the children of gaza. 🚨 👉 donate now: look at this child. the jerrycan he is carrying looks like it weighs more than he does. he holds it with both hands. he stops under its weight. he catches his breath… then he keeps walking. he is a child. he should be carrying a toy, not a heavy container of water. he should be running, playing, and living his childhood. instead, he is carrying water for his family because they have no other choice. across gaza, thirst has become part of childhood. children wake up searching for water. families wait for hours just to get a few liters. and children carry containers heavier than their own bodies just to bring water back to their families. this is not just water. this is what allows them to keep going. project muhmmed is working every day to provide clean water to children and displaced families in gaza. but donations have collapsed dramatically, and keeping the water flowing has become harder than ever. even $10, $15, or $20 can help provide water to a family that desperately needs it. ❤️ from the heart of gaza, thank you to everyone who has stood with us, especially: william menaker — Will 🦥 Menaker eyup lovely — Eyup Lovely felix — GoliathFan1952 because of your support and your voices, water has reached children and families who desperately needed it. you are not simply supporters. you are part of every container of water that reaches a family. and part of every child being able to drink when they are thirsty. but we need to keep going. 💧 thirst does not wait. and children cannot wait. if you can donate, please donate now. if you cannot, please share this post. one share from you could help us reach someone who can make the next water distribution possible. 👉 donate now: 🇵🇸 help us keep the water flowing to the children of gaza.
