Impossible to Repair TESLA Batteries Gruber Motors

Software/Hardware




Tesla has released a new main propulsion battery pack with the Model Y using larger 4680 cells, hailed as an improved structural pack.

Munro and Associates did some reverse engineering by opening the pack, and found a pink potting compound impregnating the entire battery tub, covering cells and burying most of the components.

This initial teardown immediately brings serviceability concerns into question since unlike Tesla who does not repair battery packs at the Service Center level, aftermarket commonly opens battery packs and repairs finding root cause, isolating and neutralizing resistive or defective cells, and replacing components and battery modules. A heavily potted design makes repairs near impossible.

This video explores our involvement with other Tesla vehicle subassemblies equally potted and seemingly unserviceable, and how innovation solved these serviceability problems.




Their customers have to ship their cars to Phoenix for service and their customers are nation wide perhaps world wide!

The absolute best and after 100 years of calling pot smokers
crazy and mixed up with Elon blowing smoke in their faces.

LOL

Chinese scientists find ways to turn carbon dioxide into powerful antioxidant lycopene
Published: 10:00am, 23 Sep 2024


Researchers develop technology to mirror biological processes to produce compound that can help protect against heart disease and cancer

A group of Chinese scientists has devised a technology to capture carbon dioxide that they hope can be used to convert the gas into lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.

The compound naturally gives foods such as tomatoes, watermelons and peppers their pink or red colour. It is thought to be good for bone health and may help protect against heart disease, certain types of cancer and high blood sugar.

Lycopene is widely used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries but the existing production methods have various drawbacks.

For example, extracting it from natural plants is time consuming, uses many raw materials and the resulting product has impurities. Meanwhile chemical synthesis is a laborious and demanding process.

The team at Qingdao Agricultural University in Shandong province developed a synthetic biology technology that aims to get round these problems.

Professor Yang Jianming, the team leader, decided to circumvent these headaches by using a biological method known as carbon fixation technology – the process by which organisms convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds, such as in plant photosynthesis.

The technology uses microorganisms as bioreactors to produce chemicals, materials or medicines, and is capable of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Speaking to local media earlier this month, Yang – a professor at the university’s College of Life and Sciences – said their breakthrough had the advantage of being a simple, low-cost and environmentally friendly way of producing lycopene.

Since returning from the United States in 2017, Yang has been working on the synthesis of lycopene using a bacterium called Rhodopseudomonas palustris, which is widely found in nature and has been isolated from sources including coastal marine sediments and pond water.

According to Yang, this microorganism is processed through advanced technologies such as mass screening and gene editing, after which it is able to capture carbon from carbon dioxide and synthesise economically valuable bioproducts.

For its potential applications in the management of various human diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancers, and respiratory disorders, lycopene has attracted the attention of nutritionists, clinicians and scientists, a team of researchers from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine said in a 2020 paper.

Lycopene currently costs up to 5 million yuan (US$708,800) per tonne.

The institute recently sold the patent for the technology to a local investment company for 1 million yuan, setting a record for the highest single patent deal in the field in Shandong province, according to the official China Science Daily.

The investment company and the university plan to collaborate on future projects, including green biomanufacturing technology, to help achieve global carbon reduction goals.

Removing carbon from the atmosphere is seen as an important strategy to combat climate change. Some start-ups in Hong Kong, for example, are growing trillions of tiny algae in the hope that this could be a cost-effective form of carbon capture and storage.
