A fascinating story about project Orion, with years of top secret development, unbelievable scientific challenges and political drama.
typicaly an old fasion “TED” on frisdenker!
If you have an hour to spare, take a look at this amazing BBC documentary from 2003:

OK, of course everybody wants to make everything electrical for the he(a)ck of it.
But this project is even better than “just” electrifying a diesel powered dumper truck.
This huge Komatsu HD605-7 dumper truck, used in (open) mining is being transformed for a diesel engine into an electric vehicle.
The battery pack alone is 4,5 tons (8x a tesla model x battery) and it will draw a peek level of 3.000 amps during the 13% steep hills of the Swiss alps where it will be working in a cement factory / mine.
The most interesting thing is that the truck will be energy positive, by recharging itself (and more) during the descent of that hill, but now loaded with tons of material.

Take a look at this amazing robot band by Nigel Stanford (Kiwi’s rule !) and powered by Kuka (and some CGI I guess)
Awesome clip.
Here at frisdenker we know Nigel Stanford from other great video’s!
