The technology involves assembling heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use at the temperatures required for industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the stacks of "firebricks," thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable.

These systems, which several companies have recently begun to commercialize for industrial heat storage, are a form of thermal energy storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the insulating bricks that lined primitive kilns and iron-making furnaces thousands of years ago. To optimize for heat storage instead of insulation, the materials are combined in different amounts.

Batteries can store electricity from renewable sources and provide electricity to generate heat on demand. "The difference between firebrick storage and battery storage is that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and are one-tenth the cost of batteries," said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and School of Engineering. "The materials are much simpler too. They are basically just the components of dirt."

a little fox kiln god. the pot she’s holding can be used as a bud vase 🌷

I’m planning something experimental for this one. I have a kistka for decorating pysanka-style easter eggs. a kistka is basically a pen that draws fine lines with hot wax. so I’m going to try using it for a wax resist effect and draw some patterns on this kiln god

hopefully the glaze won’t run over my nice fine lines lol

Okay okay, listen to me, maybe it's another AU, far from canon - imagine William with ginger hair OR the second option being blonde; instead of his wife - Mrs. Afton, however every headcanon of her is. To be honest, I rarely see any aus fanart of him like that

Whether in the novel, movie, or game, it is implied that he canonically has dark brunette hair… but it's also interesting to imagine him with a different hair color.

🍁 Ginger-haired William Afton

Just imagine this version of William with warm curls, his hair is a rich, deep ginger — somewhere between cinnamon stick and firebrick. It’s not overly bright, more like the kind that glows when sunlight hits it. And yes — those white streaks are natural. They fan out near his temples and a touch at the crown, like stress painted frost on a wildfire. (You know he's had them since his early twenties.)

This version of William? He still has that unnerving genius, but there's a bit more... wild spark in him. He's the kind of guy who gets mistaken for an artist or a passionate university professor — until you hear the unsettling way he talks about the soul.

Matching auburn eyelashes cast subtle shadows on his cheeks. And god, when he looks up at you — the contrast of his gray, silver-flecked eyes against the warm red is breathtaking. Like staring at winter through a warm windowpane.

His skin flushes easily. Whether it's from heat, embarrassment, or anger — it shows. And you know every spot that gives him away. Often smells like engine oil, old books, cedarwood cologne, and that subtle smoky undertone that makes you want to bury your face in his sweater.

Freckles galore (yes, he has freckles now) scatter across his nose, cheeks and shoulders like little constellations, like ash freckles left behind by burnt-out stars. He absolutely hates when people point them out. He covers them with makeup for business meetings, but when he's home, they’re like a map across his face and shoulders. His partner secretly loves tracing them.

Maybe his partner is someone more grounded, like a florist or a nurse,... someone who reminds him that life exists beyond machines and wires. He loves the way they smell like lavender and antiseptic — it brings balance to his chaos.

Other stuff:

He has a temper, but it doesn’t come in bursts — it simmers. Passive-aggressive jabs, teeth-grinding restraint, and that dead calm tone that chills your spine more than yelling ever could. But with you? He softens. You’re the only one who can poke his cheek, call him “Mr. Autumn Leaves,” and get a muttered “You’re impossible…” while he presses his forehead to yours in silent surrender. If you ever call him “Foxfire” (for his hair and that flickering energy in him), he pretends to scoff — but later writes it on the inside cover of his notebook like it’s a secret.

He pretends to hate cuddling, claims he’s “not built for it,” but once he’s in your arms, he melts like molasses and doesn’t let go.

Has a surprisingly dry sense of humor. Loves giving you sarcastic nicknames like “Professor Snugglestein” or “Hazard Level 5 Cuteness.” (Says it with a totally deadpan face.)

Hyperfixation king. The kind of man to not eat or sleep for 72 hours while trying to perfect some haunting animatronic expression or AI logic. He’ll get dizzy and pass out mid-project, and you’ll find him slumped on a desk with copper hair plastered to his forehead.

Sings to himself. Not in a nice, melodic way — more like low hums and half-whispers as he works. Disturbing lullabies. Old Irish ballads. The type that stick with you, even if you don’t know what they mean.

He gets very focused when working. Tongue peeking out between his lips. One white-streaked curl always falling in front of his eyes. You push it back for him sometimes, and he goes still like you touched something sacred.

You’re his grounding wire. He can get so wrapped up in logic, planning, control — but you make him laugh from the gut. You remind him it’s okay to feel without dissecting the emotion like a lab sample.

He’s the type to carry your photo in his wallet, old-school style. But it’s not just the photo — it’s got notes scribbled behind it in his sharp handwriting. Things like:

“They made me tea after my nightmare. Didn't ask. Just knew. Don’t forget that.”

On hard days, you trace his freckles like they’re constellations, and he lets you. Sometimes he whispers, “Keep count, tell me I’m still here.”

He has a thing for nuzzling into your neck when he’s half-asleep. Always on the same side. If you shift, he’ll chase you blindly until he’s in the exact same spot again.

He once got jealous of a plush you wouldn’t stop hugging. Tossed it onto the other side of the room with a muttered, “I don’t see why you’d choose a synthetic over the real thing.”

You had to hug him immediately.

☀️ Blonde William Afton

Alright now blonde William gives off a false warmth. He looks like the golden boy — well-kept, clean-cut, charismatic, like the dad next door who mows the lawn on Saturdays. But there's a hollowness behind those silver-gray eyes, like he’s hiding something deep behind all that sunshine hair.

His hair is nearly white, that soft, platinum gold that catches the light and almost glows — like spun sunlight. Not bleached, not brassy — but the rare kind that’s cool-toned yet warm when it touches his cheeks. It frames his face like a fallen angel trying desperately to still wear a halo. It tousled from running his fingers through it while working in the lab. Or even bleached from stress and exposure to chemicals — not natural, but earned.

Matching eyelashes. They’re delicate, almost invisible against his pale skin unless you get close — and when you do, his eyes (still silver-gray, of course) seem even sharper in contrast. Like they’re cutting through you, quietly reading your soul.

He doesn’t blink much. When he stares, it’s like time pauses. But when he does blink, it's slow, with those platinum lashes fluttering like snowflakes falling — oddly soothing and unnerving all at once.

From afar, he looks pure, maybe even fragile — like some long-lost Victorian poet or a saint in a stained-glass window. But up close? The details crack the illusion. Calloused fingertips. Stress lines. A tiredness in his eyes that shouldn’t exist in someone so beautifully composed.

Always wears white or soft beige. Not for fashion, but because blood shows clearer on it. He says he just prefers neutrals, but his closet is so sterile and pristine it feels curated like a showroom — except for one soft sweater you gave him. That’s the only one with a little wear.

Other stuff:

In this AU, his partner perhaps isn’t sweet — no, they’re sharp. Maybe an ex-reporter, someone who doesn’t buy into his smiles so easily. They know something’s off. And he loves that. He adores being seen and still being accepted, even if it’s warily.

Orrr alt maybe his partner is a little chaotic, a little reckless; Maybe an ex-friend-turned-lover who knows too much. They're not afraid to call him out — and that both infuriates and excites him. They keep him human.

His partner brings out the real warmth behind all that gold. Maybe you have the hands that ruffle his hair and make him chuckle softly, just once, like a crack in marble.

He absolutely loves when you kiss his eyelids. He never says it, but every time you do, his breath stills — just for a moment. Because nobody ever treats him like something precious.

You call him “sunshine” once, as a joke. His ears and cheeks all turn pink.

Kisses the top of your head absentmindedly while reading schematics or monologuing about ethics in consciousness transfer. He forgets that he’s being affectionate. It’s mechanical. Until he pauses — and you see that flicker of real emotion.

He’s disturbingly calm. His voice is soft and velvety, almost too kind when he's explaining something terrifying. “Don’t worry… it’ll only take a moment.” And yet — you do worry.

Passive-aggressive affection! “You forgot your coat. Again.” He hands it to you with a look. But his eyes soften when you smile and say “Thanks, love.” He’d rather die than admit how much it makes his chest ache.

Properties and uses of magnesia bricks

Magnesia brick is a common refractory material consisting of magnesia and other additives. It has the following properties and uses:

Good high temperature performance: Magnesia bricks have excellent high temperature stability and fire resistance. It can maintain structural stability for a long time at extremely high temperatures, and exhibits a low coefficient of expansion and excellent thermal shock resistance.

Anti-corrosion performance: Magnesia bricks have high resistance to the erosion of acid, alkali and other chemical substances. This makes it widely used in corrosive environments in chemical, metallurgical and other fields.

Lightweight and high strength: Compared with traditional silicate bricks, magnesia bricks have lighter weight and higher strength. This makes it favored in applications where structural load relief is required or higher strength is required.

Good heat insulation performance: Since magnesia bricks have low thermal conductivity, it can provide good heat insulation performance, effectively reduce heat energy loss and save energy. Therefore, it is widely used in the heat insulation layer of kilns, furnaces and other high-temperature equipment.

Wide range of applications: Magnesia bricks are widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, building materials, glass, ceramics and other industries. It is often used in the construction and protection of high-temperature equipment such as furnace lining, kiln insulation layer, refractory kiln wall, and glass kiln tunnel.

In short, magnesia bricks play an important role in high temperature environments due to their excellent refractory performance, high temperature stability and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in refractory structures and equipment in many industries.
