Investment casting is a modern version of the ancient technique of lost-wax casting. As a manufacturing process, investment casting was developed during WWII when demand for aircraft, artillery, and military parts increased, and the need for fast, cheap, and large-scale die-casting was critical. Today, investment casting is used in virtually all industries and can present health risks to workers if indoor air pollution prevention measures are not in place.

⏰ Final 2-Weeks to Join Inergy https://lnkd.in/gpN8C-zi In this summary update, we delve into the first letter of the MISSION acronym, "M," which underscores the U.S. military's keen interest in Inergy's groundbreaking technology. We're not just another company; we're on the Department of Defense's radar due to our capacity to provide off-grid, remote, portable power solutions, and here's why this matters to you as an investor. Support and funding from the military translate into direct value for our company. Notably, military investments typically don't require us to give away equity, which is commonly referred to as "non-dilutive funding." So, when the military or government backs Inergy, it enriches your investment as a supporter. The timeline of our military engagement, stretching back to 2016, illustrates the journey. From developing innovative inverters with Idaho State funding, to winning accolades in defense innovation events and securing Department of Energy grants, our commitment and success shine. Partnerships with the U.S. Air Force, Army, and the Army's X Tech SBIR program further exemplify our military collaborations, solidifying our status as an American-made, American-designed, and American market-oriented company. These engagements not only safeguard our nation but also drive cutting-edge technologies worldwide. Join us here: https://lnkd.in/gn6j9Rij

This is a great write-up of our #battery #technology by Tina Casey of TriplePundit that does a deep dive into how it was developed based on U.S. Naval Research Laboratory science and the advantages #zinc batteries have in a market where more batteries and a variety of chemistries are needed. Perhaps even more revolutionary than the battery's performance is the fact that this battery can be produced in existing lead acid factories (and there are a ton of them globally) with a relatively small capital investment to convert one or more lines. #energystorage #batteries #innovation https://lnkd.in/gRAmQ5Jm

Nice recent article in Military + Aerospace Electronics on the potential for Natron Energy sodium-ion batteries to electrify GSE for military installations where fire & life safety combined with harsh operating environments eliminate the use of other chemistries. #energystorage #aviation https://lnkd.in/g37QGqMy

📢 Exciting news: CakeBoxx joins forces with Serco to revolutionize lithium-ion battery shipping and storage 🔋   CakeBoxx Technologies and Serco Inc. have formed a technical alliance focused on the growing thermal runaway issue when transporting lithium-ion batteries on ships and aircraft.   With the significant acceleration of global demand for advanced energy storage technologies, including lithium-ion batteries, the importance of proper battery handling and the consequences of mishandling have never been more pronounced.   The alliance aims to pioneer cutting-edge solutions to enable the safe, secure, and efficient transportation and storage of lithium-ion batteries. The synergy of the two companies leverages CakeBoxx’s expertise in developing specialized, sustainable transport and storage solutions for high-consequence cargo and Serco’s industry-leading advanced naval systems engineering and maritime modernization capabilities. The collaboration will sharply focus these core competencies on developing effective, affordable, and available transport and containment families of products to prevent and manage lithium-ion battery thermal runaway consequences in aviation and ocean vessel scenarios. 📰 For more details on this exciting venture, visit our website 👇: https://lnkd.in/enb4BggJ #innovation #technology #thermalrunaway #energy #lithiumbatteries #riskmanagement #sustainability #batteries #EV #transportation

"Even as power plant manufacturers put their best foot forward and attempt to invent #sustainable alternatives to #fossilfuels, the fallout from the Pratt & Whitney crisis with the Geared Turbofan has generated a fair amount of consternation in the industry," writes IADB Consulting Editor, Bikram Vohra.

Imagine the impact of pyrolysis on job creation 💡 With its adoption, new opportunities will emerge in research, engineering, operations, and beyond. But here’s something even more remarkable: pyrolysis isn’t confined to routine operations. Its deployable nature could be a game-changer for disaster relief efforts in the South Pacific region. This means we’re not only embracing a circular economy in times of stability but also extending its benefits to times of crisis. Let’s champion circularity and make a difference on multiple fronts! #jobcreation #disasterrelief #pyrolysis #australia
