Just a few thoughts for a new chain

DYNE
Do You Need Energy

CANDELA
Calculating A Non-Dark (Electicaloly Lit?) Area

GRAMME

(I know that the Kilogram is the SI unit, but this is a nicer expansion than anything I can manage for it.

MOLE
Measurement Of Lumpiness, Evidently

PASCAL
Pressure And Stress Calculations Are Lengthy

HERTZ
Have Everything Recalibrated To Zero

NEWTON
Normally Expresses What "Thump" Offers, Numerically

HENRY
Has Electricity Not Registered Yet?

Any more offerings, and not necessarily SI units, maybe even Imperial or other units.

METRE

Measured Equator To Rotator's Extremities

(the metre was originally intended to be one ten millionth of the distance from pole to equator.)

LIGHT YEAR

KNOT

Keeps Navigators On Target
