Caterpillar rolls out first all-electric 793 mining truck prototype

Mr Mohammed

By Paul Ridden Heavy duty construction machinery producer Caterpillar has built and demonstrated an electric version of its monstrous 2,650-horsepower mining truck, aimed at helping the mining industry transition to more sustainable operations. The 793 Electric has a similar imposing look and gargantuan proportions to the 1,000-kWh effort from Anglo American and Williams Advanced Engineering, though that model was designed with battery-electric and hydrogen-electric variants in mind. The Caterpillar prototype is battery all the way. The company is not revealing what are likely to be mind-boggling specs at this stage, but…

Nigeria signs MOU for solar mini-grids project

Cheaper, tougher, less toxic: new alloys show promise in developing artificial limbs

Mr Mohammed

Titanium is a strong, resilient and relatively light metal. Its properties have also been well studied; scientists know a great deal about it. All of this makes it the ideal base for fashioning artificial limbs – particularly knees and hips – and teeth. It is less likely than other metals to rust and, as research has shown, it is more compatible with the human body than, for instance, stainless steels and cobalt based materials. But there’s a major problem: titanium is not cheap. Precise data is hard to come by, but…
