Really enjoyed this series, thanks for posting. Wonder what a 2020 update would look like now that we use all kinds of Rare earth Metals for everything electronic.
very worthwhile series even allowing for it's sort of now quaint aspects due to advances made since its production and certainly not a fault. I'm not convinced by the producer's bias against pure research, I think the acquisition of knowledge for knowledge's sake is always a worthwhile endeavor.
Excellent documentary! Three decades ago they were worried about nuclear technology. Now we worry about AI. I hope three decades from now our children won’t have to pay a premium to remove ads from their brain implants!
We have already begun leaving metals behind, to a degree. We enter now into THE AGE OF PLASTICS and COMPOSITES... all produced from oil. How's that going to work out?
Sure we do substitute composites in applications where they are superior but metals are being used more now than ever in history, especially rare metals. The use of metals has and will continue to increase exponentially along with the population. There are so many applications where there is no substitute for a certain metal. Metal will never be replaced. It's a matter of physics and there's nothing we'll ever be able to do to change that.
Oh the irony. No mention of CO2 polluti0n when telling about West German reclamation of land mined for brown coal and no hint of digital photography to replace silver and Kodak. We simply cannot know what the future holds. 21K views in 7 years is simply not fair. :-(
Thats just being pedantic. They aren’t claiming it to be a perpetual motion machine. They’re claiming once the plant gets started it can satisfy 100% of its operating electricity needs by using the excess heat of the smelting furnaces they are operating in the first place to heat water into steam and spin some generators.
I don't want to be picky. But didn't he say the turbine blades come out of the mold already finished? Then you see a person polishing and finishing them.
Very good, even with the misses in audio. . I was wondering what he was talking about when he said not enough metal for automobiles. I know for a fact that many parts on my car are plastic panels, this is an 1986 video: so old.Autobiles are nearly 100% recyclable. // Now checking out rope.
if you're referring to the book which accompanies this series it's available. I recently purchased one from AbeBooks. It's as new as an unused textbook. 5$
got , 1986 , wow . great insight , tho some is just towing the line for staus quo earth destroyers as in the nuclear/plutonium scammers . was mention 1/3 of all energy used on the planet is in metals mining n refining . wonder where we stand now
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
God has a reason for his many names. So does the enemy. The problem is taken out of his word each and every reference to his name and just calling him jehova, not cool
Such charges of "racist" neglect are invariably the product of a mind so perfectly racist itself that it neglects to examine its own conscience. Make your own documentary, and write your own book. Here is your opportunity to even the score, if you have enough talent to do it.
While the ancient Rwandans did make iron tools they are on par with other areas of the time and could have been imported knowledge, not local advances. Wakanda has only itself to blame for not receiving recognition of it's achievements, until only recently hiding behind holographic camouflage and impenetrable force fields, isolating themselves and hording the worlds only known source of vibranium.
