Demand for copper

To build just one electric vehicle (EV) engine requires 183 pounds of copper. Compare that to just 18 pounds required in a gas-powered car.

3D Printing

-
  3D Printing 3D printing saves time, Cost, and Waste while creating radically new parts.  3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing that builds objects layer-by-layer. 3D printing reduces the time between design and production, moves power to designers and reduce supply chain complexity and at a fraction of the cost of traditional manufacturing. 3D printing will revolutionise manufacturing, privacy, costs and timescales of creating a prototype. Applications include Medical Devices, Testing Devices, Training and Visualization aids, Personal Protective Equipment, Personal Accessories, Emergency Dwellings. 3D printing can be used for prototypes, molds and tools and End-Use Parts. Other 3D opportunities include Hobbies, toys and Games Semiconductors and Semiconductor equipment Die Sets, Jigs and Industrial Molds Foundries and Metal Products Footwear Plastic Products Healthcare equipment and supplies Machinery Automobiles and Auto Parts and Equipment Aerospace This is a mass...

Web3

  Web3 Web3, as it is most widely used today, refers to another idea for the "next level" evolution of the internet, but one which is tied to concepts involving decentralization, blockchain technology, and cryptocurrencies. This is confusing because another group of ideas exists, which is labeled "web 3.0", proposed by Tim Berners-Lee – the man often referred to as the father of the World Wide Web. As with the term "metaverse," both web3 and web 3.0 refer to what the internet may evolve into. And although the ideas are somewhat related and not necessarily mutually exclusive, they each describe different things! Confused? Don’t worry, so is everyone else! Specifically, though, web3 looks forward to an internet where power and ownership aren't centralized in large corporations that ultimately own the servers where data is stored, and software programs are executed. For example, many believe that large social network companies like Facebook and Twitter ho...

Ammonia is the fuel of the future

Ammonia is also a fuel that can power internal combustion and jet engines.  An engine running on NH 3  emits nothing but water vapor and nitrogen. In fact, you can inhale and drink the exhaust from a car engine running on it. NH 3  has a 30% higher octane rating than gasoline, meaning it’s more stable under pressure. It’s less of a fire hazard, and it forms no soot, allowing engine parts to stay clean. As the British Royal Society points out,  "The maritime industry has already identified the significant retrofitting potential for ammonia as a green fuel for shipping, noting its ease of storage, existing maritime networks and bunkering capabilities." "Ammonia is the only zero-carbon fuel that will get you across the oceans." Planes can now run on ammonia rather than kerosene, allowing airlines to keep their existing fleet. A modification recently developed by the University of Oxford makes this possible.
