Redwood Materials recover 95% of materials from EV batteries in a commercial process right now. Nice try with the anti EV propaganda, but it doesn’t work if you pull the numbers out of your … And if we can do 95% we will probably be up to 99.9% by the time most of the batteries from new EVs today need recycling in 20 years time. And that’s not to mention that we have countless examples of EV batteries being reused for stationary energy storage applications is effectively re-using 100% of the materials. (For a while, eventually you need recycling to fully renew the battery)

@@auspiciouslywild didn't pull it out my ass that's what the guy said in the video, pay attention

Wait.. wait.. why am I even defending the recycling rate of BEV cars vs combustion cars. Were you joking? If not: You know how much gasoline is recycled right? Exactly 0% And the extraction of oil is very often far dirtier than any form of mining. Remember deepwater horizon? If you’re serious the argument is literally insane.

@@auspiciouslywild pay attention to the video, she stated all these EVs ain't the way to go, until they have this new battery in the works. Yeah all them kids mining think otherwise , your the one with the propaganda, you probably sale EVs for a living 😆

@@SlackersIndustry They’re trying to sell their product, of course they’d say we *need* it. Kids mining? Like for cobalt? You mean the stuff you have in your phone, in your laptop, in stainless steel and which is used to refine the gasoline for your car? The only time people care about kids mining cobalt is if it goes to EVs. Child labour is A-OK as long as it’s for combustion cars! EV car companies have policies for ethical sourcing of cobalt. You think fuel refineries have that? Nobody cares when it comes to fossil fuels. They can be as dirty and unethical as they want. Only EVs are expected to be perfect. The cobalt mining child labour story was originally written directly by the fossil fuel lobby. If you’re repeating it you should go to them and ask for a pay-check cause you’re doing free work for them. We should eliminate child labour. But that has nothing to do with EVs, since we all use cobalt.

Like most anti-nuclear activists, you lose your credibility by foaming at the mouth and raving. > All LIES. EVERY power plant nuclear or otherwise builds whatever they can in a factory and have it shipped to the site so there is NOTHING new with that idea. As we can see from the transcript, 1:13 "our internal Target is from groundbreaking to producing electrons less than 60 days this is something that we have not". 1. Their _internal_ target is to install a reactor from groundbreaking to online in 60 days. 2. That is an extremely aggressive target that nobody else is attempting. 3. They never claimed to be doing 'anything new'. > You cannot build a nuclear power plant in a garage. Again, they did NOT claim to be building the NPP in the garage. Their claim was (you really should reference what is said, vs what you imagine) "we are allo atomics we design and build nuclear reactors that are small enough to fit in your garage ". So something, that post-installation, could fit in a garage - not having specified a small 1-car garage or a big 6-car garage, or anything like that. Y'know, a garage. > The bigger the plant the more efficient and the smaller the plant the less efficient it is. Unless you are not optimizing for thermal efficiency. Perhaps you are optimizing along some other axis, like financial efficiency. > So, small or even micro has no magical way to shrink a nuclear power plant. A 20 Mw small nuclear plant will always be LARGER than 1/50 th the space needed for a ! Gw plant. Perhaps English is not your native language, but your statement makes no sense whatsoever! You CAN shrink a NPP if you are willing to accept a lower output. You may be correct that, proportionally, a smaller-output NPP will be physically larger than a bigger-output NPP, but AGAIN this was not claimed in the video. They claimed 'smaller', as in the size of a garage, which any reasonably educated person with a grasp of the English language (high-school or perhaps middle-school level) would interpret the holistic concept as being volumetrically small in absolute terms. So, you claim "LIES" (all caps, nice touch), yet about what? You missed their 'something new', you confused their manufacture and installation locations, and you failed to grasp their claim in absolute terms. In baseball, 3 strikes and you're out!

Epic idea!

So like Fab labs?

Thank you so much!!

Don't hate too much, I also wondered where the AI is used, maybe coordinating the tips and adjusting the pressure applied where thickness and stress change. By the way, they produce some nice parts, check out more of their products, they even make faces 😲

@@pittwaymaina4759 I am just objective and know a bit about manufacturing. The video was nice in itself, so no hate.

@@constantinosschinas4503 I think we could've highlighted the AI use in the video better. Thank you for watching though.

​@@pittwaymaina4759 Smarter Every Day did a video and yes that was one of the applications of AI that they talked about. It's a complex inverse kinematic control problem to have 2 robots applying a specific angle and pressure of "pinch" against each other to draw the sheet metal out.

​@@constantinosschinas4503yeah your average servo press is gonna push out thousands of parts per day this ? Few at best.

Thank you so much brother!
