Roadpower Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I thought a few people might find this video about Li-ion battery recycling interesting, it's only seven minutes. It doesn't go into any technological depth but it does have some points of interest. Published by JerryRigEverything. LINK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0000 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) That's super interesting, always figured they had to do some manually disassembly especially with those relatively massive car batteries which would make the process highly uneconomic. Nope, just dump them in the toxic liquid shredding sludge tank (thankfully closed loop). Sympathy for the guy whose job it is to shake/agitate the "black mass" cartridges. Edit: Also, I'd be interested to see how the economics of this process shakes out after the additional required downstream processing relative to conventional mining otherwise the full recycling process might be something that only makes financial sense after some degree of "centrally-planned" market intervention. That's not to say that the limited scope of what was shown is bad, there's just a lot of politics and market intervention in the "green" space. I think a healthy dose of skepticism regarding anything labeled Recycling/Green is warranted as for decades much of the plastic recycling we've been patting ourselves on the back for was simply repackaged into large compressed cubes and sent back to the respective countries who produce much of the finished goods on the same giant cargo ships only to end up in their landfills.

Roadpower Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 @Vanturion Good points and questions there. And in particular about where the stuff actually ends up. My limited understanding is that plastics in particular are woefully under recycled, that has long had me fantasizing about some form of life that can eat and digest plastics with the result being something that can serve as biomass. Of course anything that can eat plastics might be a real problem in itself. But hey, I'm not afraid of living in a plastics free world... Lastly, I do have to wonder about their proprietary solution. That does kind of gnaw at my suspicious nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeforester Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 A (considerably!) ‘deeper’ dive into the obtaining of our ‘bright future’ and some commentary as to the extent of current recycling. Apologies for the divergent offshoot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Here's a video of the Canadian wildfires happening right now in Kelowna, BC. I couldn't help but notice that the guy was obviously riding a EUC, and indeed a V13 can be seen in the background when he takes a break. Wondering if that person is on the forum? I hope all is as good as it reasonably can be there! He also has a V13 review on his channel: (Sorry if that has been posted before.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techyiam Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 @Forwardnbak I look forward to your next video on the S19. I think if Kingsong can price the S19 closer to the T4, Kingsong may have a winner here. In the video, the S19 looks nice, and the suspension seems to have a smooth action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wasn’t prepared for this test, cameras weren’t set up, so i’ll try to get a better vid next time. Eriderz are great and said I can come in and shoot it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varamontelo Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Please put on a full face helmet, knee pads, pants!!! I ride a lot and I had a frontal impact, it hurts and it breaks several bones. It then takes months to get back on a wheel. I wish you my courage when you fall. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
