Crowdfunding: Connecting Creators and Patrons

This is a bit off-the-wall, but your prompt "imbalance of power" led to "balance of power", which led inexorably to the Watt Balance and its role in replacing the standard kilogram by determining the Planck constant, the value of which will henceforth be defined as precisely 6.62607015×10⁻³⁴ joule-seconds.

That led to a couple of haiku:

A watt balance weighs
The old standard kilogram.
Planck's Constant defined.

A lump of metal
Is finally replaced by
Something eternal.
