  "textContent": "Can we really electrify heavy industry? ️\n\nIn this episode, Imogen heads to the Brightlands Chemelot Campus in the Netherlands to visit Coolbrook. They are tackling one of the biggest challenges in the clean energy transition: decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors like steel, cement, and petrochemicals.\n\nThese industries contribute roughly 25% of global emissions; five times more than shipping and aviation combined. Coolbrook is leveraging aerodynamic principles and rocket science to reach temperatures of up to 1,700°C using only pure electricity.\n\nJoin us for a deep dive into the RotoDynamic Reactor (RDR), a machine that spins at 24,000 RPM to create supersonic shockwaves that collapse into heat in just milliseconds. It’s a game-changer and boasts astronomical potential to reduce the emissions of heavy industry.\n\n## Timestamps\n\n**0:00** What is Coolbrook?\n**0:33** The Massive Problem: Decarbonising Heavy Industry\n**2:06** Why Heat Pumps and Hydrogen Aren’t Enough\n**2:58** Borrowing Principles from Steam Turbines and Jet Engines\n**3:31** Welcome to the Brightlands Chemelot Campus\n**4:45** What is Steam Cracking?\n**5:56** The Scale of Potential Impact: Saving 2.4 Billion Tonnes of\n**6:44** Step 1: The Feedstock Station\n**7:25** Step 2: Preheating Naphtha and Steam\n**8:33** The 800kW Electric Motor: Spinning at 24,000 RPM\n**9:23** Inside the Reactor Room (Safe & Inert)\n**10:10** How the Reactor Works\n**10:50** Analysing the Results: 10% Better than Fossil Tech\n**12:43** Efficiency: 95% Conversion of Electrons to Heat\n**14:10** The Physics of Supersonic Shockwaves\n**15:51** Engineering Challenges: The 100MW Grid Problem\n**16:56** Conclusion: The Future of Clean Industry\n\nWhy not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo:  _**www.everythingelectric.show**_\n\n* * *\n\nGet your tickets for our live events NOW!\n\n  * _**Everything Electric NORTH – 8th-9th May 2026**_\n  * _**Everything Electric WEST – 12th-13th June 2026**_\n  * _**Everything Electric GREATER LONDON – 11th-12th September 2026**_\n  * _**Everything Electric SYDNEY – 18th-20th September 2026**_\n\n\n\n* * *\n\n**Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.
