Wind Energy â Another Gift from the Sun? Wind energy comes from the sun. It is true â wind energy is simply a converted form of solar energy! The sunâs radiation warms different parts of the earth, oceans, and other bodies of water, at different rates. The night and day cycles make an obvious difference, but also, water and land absorb or reflect sunlight differently.
Ironstone china, ironstone ware or most commonly just ironstone, is a type of vitreous pottery first made in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century.
Ironstone was first patented in 1813 by Charles Mason as a cheap alternative to porcelain. A type of stoneware introduced in England early in the 19th century by the Staffordshire potters who looked for a substitute for porcelain that could be mass-produced for the cheaper market.
