manufactured gemstones are typically designed to imitate mind gemstones
na keys they're made from heather a hearty flowering plant which grows wild
across scotland for centuries
scott's used heather to fax roofs
stuff mattresses and even brew aero
this caucus company tens heather into gemstone material for jewelry and other
gift items
antigens as they're called has vein like patterns created randomly by the plant
stands therefore noti chance can be identical
when the handpicked and there are rise at the factory it's a green foliage is
still clings to the upper part of the stands
after cutting the plants into lakes of about twenty five centimeters
workers low than into a sand blasting machine
the drum rotates for about half an hour while tiny on iron pallets blast the
heather inside
the pellets chip away the bark and remove the foliage
the heather comes out of the machine as they are driving out delicate point
workers form seven hundred graham bundles and place them in a vacuum ***
chamber for two whole days first the vacuum josette the year in the stands to
clear the way for the diet to penetrate
then again under vacuum pressure
the stands slowly absorb the dark
this vacuum ethic is far more effective than getting a soaking the stands in
vats of died
because the color penetrates deeply into the heather would rather than merely
sitting on the surface
they opened the bundles and make new ones of the same weight this time
combining collars
it's important to combined figure stands within their wines to create contrast in
lines in the gem patter
they soak each bundle in a park c reson for two or three minutes
insuring the standards are well saturated
baron
they place the bundles on iraq's to allow the excess resin to do a knock
they load for bundles between the top and bottom halves of the mold
compress them slowly closes the mold applying eighty tons of pressure for
about a minute
there
they clamp the mold closed animal that from the press
then they put the mold into enough and foreign power to cure at msn
they open the mold
animal for what is now a rock hard resin bonded block of heather would
they put the block on a band saw antrim off the rough edges
they cut slices ten to twelve millimeters thick depending on what
shape jam they'll be making
after grueling each slice onto a plastic backing
a robotic cutting machine guided by a computer cuts the gems shapes
men workers simply papa gems off the plastic bag in
and this don't oval shaped is called a cap of shock
the finishing team smooths and polishes each gem on a belt sander
then applies for a five coats of clear lacquer
blundering draws of the colors while stealing and protecting the word
finally they blew each jam onto the jewelry or gift item
sometimes they die the heather just a single color this still produces a
striking g_m_ because the dye penetrates the wood with a different intensities
creating contrast ing shades
the signature feature is the uni containing produced by the heather
encased within
each and every gemstone truly capturing the natural beauty of the scottish
highlands
invented in the middle of the twentieth century
instant film made photographic images and to realize almost magically
the picture appeared in minutes no more waiting for days for film to be
processed
today it's a digital world but instant film is still getting plenty of exposure
with instant film you can watch any image developed before your very eyes no
film lab or digital printer necessary just think she's and wait to see what
develops
many decades after its invention instant photo development still seems like a
neat trick
making the magic happen is a many layered process when that involves
multiple materials and chemicals
production begins with the feel negative it takes place in the dark to prevent
free exposure the technician dons night-vision goggles
allowing him to monitor plastic film as it unwinds into a coating machine inside
various dyes and chemicals
will transform the film into a negative
they switched on lights back on briefly for our camera the film travels up and
down towards the coating machine it's a system
that prevents any slackening in the feed
the coating is also done in the dark
so this porky demonstrates the process for a camera on a small research machine
put this photo chemicals and i just flow onto the surface of the plastic film
he spreads the liquids across the film friend even application
this is all done mechanically inside the real coating machine
once coated the film will heading to the dryer the various coatings will dry in
separate layers without intermingling
here's a attest to line up of the liquid components of the negative the colorful
ones are dies and the white ones are other chemicals
they applied black backing to the negative to block light again preventing
pre exposure
the trip to the dryer isn't eighty meter long one
hot-air dries the chemicals on the surface of the film once again it all
happens in the dark to protect the light-sensitive film
oiled up and packed into light take drugs the color negative material is now
on its way to a second factory to be assembled into the instant film pack
upon arrival they threaten the negative onto a machine along with other
materials for the film pack they include a plastic base material called the mask
and the positive paper that receives the photographic image from the negative the
various materials are steered by a system of rollers
here's a line-up of the various materials to be assembled that's the
mask on the far left and the negative in the middle
the negative heads towards a series of hot presses one press laminates a
plastic spacer called the rail to the negative
another lamination head applies the mask to the positive sheet that will receive
the image
on a different machine equipment folds a kind of four l tabs and inject sit with
film developer
here's an inside look at the patch the blue liquid is the developer incase in
the four lined envelope it will stay fresh until needed
back on the main assembly machine another hot press laminates the
developer
house to the official materials this completes the film sandwich and it has
been to another station to be sliced into photo sized pieces the photo frames
writer we deal with the counter that divides them into stacks of eight
meanwhile robot arms deposit a rectangular spring on a battery
then they position the eight pictures on the strain battery assembly followed by
a light blocking cover the stack then moves forward to be squeezed into a
plastic cassette
a suction type device now picks up a cardboard box entrance visit to the end
of the film pat cline
another device captures the film pack as it comes off the line and places it in
the cardboard box
once folded closed the box of instant film rides the carousel to a scale
a quick weighing confirms that this enough
film in the box so it's ready to ship
the assembly of this instant film pack has taken roughly three minutes
now those instant memories are just a few clicks away
a common assumption is that all-white sugar is derived from sugar cane
but thirty percent of the world's white sugar supply comes from the sugar beet
well sugar cane growers only in tropical climates
the hardier sugar beet can be cultivated in cooler regions
and in poorer soil
being it takes about seven beats to produce a kilogram s edgar the
byproducts of processing molasses and beat helped are used for animal feed the
processing of sugar beets fields various grades of sugar
the lower one-star reprocessed to become white sugar farmers plant beet seeds in
the spring and harvest the mature crop in the fall mechanical harvesters attack
six rows at a time they referred plant end of the ground chop off the lease in
crown leaving just the bulbous route
and beetroot typically weighs about nine hundred grams seventeen to eighteen
percent of that is two probes which is sugar hello dear transfers the
harvesting beats into tracks the lotus
cfl removes about a third of the soil along the way
when the trucks arrive at the sugar factory they unloaded beats so ellen
stones included onto a conveyor belt which transports them to a washing
station
that first they head into a revolving drum where under a shower of water
deadbeats rub against each other this watching the soil
the water flow floats the beats which then except the drama the stones stayed
behind collected in separator back gets along the edge
a screw conveyor moves the beats to a transfer system which brings them inside
the factory to be processed into sugar
gig
inside slicing machines to cut the incoming beats into cassette strips
about the shape of french fries but smaller
the cassettes travel on the conveyor belt into a large tank of hot water
where they soak for a few minutes
this gets their cell membranes to begin opening clearing the way for the sucrose
to exit during the next operation in which the cassettes
are pumped to the bottom of the twenty meter high extraction tower a rotating
shaft within the tower transports them slowly upward against the downward flow
of hot water this draws out the sucrose producing passionately water called
ranches e the next step is to purify this ron shipp's in a giant kiln they
burn limestone with coke to produce the chemical compound calcium hydroxide also
called line milk they added in several stages to the ron shipp's meanwhile they
press the sucrose trips cassettes into pulp to sell as animal feed they add
carbon dioxide to the line milk inches mixture this absorbs the one-third of
the juices impurities enabling a filtration system to remove them viraj
use exits as a golden sugar solution called finches the finches then enters
the six that evaporation process which reduces it into a six syrup like to use
it
them from their they prompted into a four phases crystallization system in
phase one the heat an ad seed crystals tiny identical size sugar crystals may
separately using a complex cooling and evaporating process as the water in the
juice evaporates about half the sucrose crystallizes growing the seat crystals
then a centrifuge machines separates the crystals called refined sugar from the
remaining syrup
the syrup goes through this crystallization centrifuge process three
more times producing a lesser grade of cigarettes each time
the factory dissolves and re crystallizes of the lowest two grades
late to hide his grades of sugar and going to dryers
on the way passing through screening machine which separates any crystals
which are too large the factory dissolves these crystals then puts the
sugary liquid through the crystallization process again so in the
end there are two grades of beach sugar which dole into silos where they're
stored until it's time to pakistan for seo as refined sugar and white sugar
the electric car ruled the road early in the twentieth century
and then the technology was surpassed by gas
today the concept is cruising towards a comeback it's resurgence fueled by
concerns about pollution from gas powered vehicles
and by worries about over dependence on foreign oil
this sassy looking sports car is leading the charge for change
just plug it into any electrical outlet and after a few hours it has enough to
use for a drive through the countryside or for quite a few john surround ten
with no tailpipe there are no direct emissions and if the power generated by
the electrical plant is clean everyone breeze a little easier not with the
price tag in the six-figure range this fecal friendly roadster is a luxury
product
production begins with the first half of the gearbox a worker bolts of brass
fitting to the center and then attach is plastic tubing to read the tubing will
deliver lubricant to the transmissions bearings
he answers to those barings into slots in the gearbox impresses than into place
using a hydraulic tual agents thread locking compound into screw holes
enhanced also device for locking the transmission it's called the parking
pollen he applies moericke suv to screw this entrance them through the power to
the gearbox using a calibrated torque wrench she tightens them to a precise
setting
the transmission is single speed with four years which they installed in the
other half of the gearbox these are helical gears their teeth are cut at an
angle for gradual engagement and smooth operation
there now ready for the rotor and the skaters both are electromagnetics and
together they'll be the electric motors driving force they insert the rotor into
the skater we're there to electromagnetic fields will interact to
create pork transforming electrical energy into mechanical energy but they
close to the rotor and stater assembly onto the gearbox and bolt them together
they attach cables for wiring the motor to the power electronics modulator it's
a crucial part that processes and regulates the flow of battery power to
the motor
this completes the electric motor drives training
option
they lower the drivetrain into the back of the pre sampled car body
they position the motor mounts over slots in the steel subframe
and once in place the bolt the drive train to the chassis
it
alone
als now under the car they pull back their rear suspension temporarily to
attach the drive axle to the gearbox
the axle is equipped with a rubber incase joint which allows a rear wheel
to react abounds independently without reverberation to the other
the battery is next
seen here in a display model of the power train
the metal pack contains over sixty eight hundred lithium ion sales and delivers
two hundred fifteen kilowatts of power enough jews to enable this electric car
to accelerate to one hundred kilometers an hour in under
four
sp
machinery now lowers the car onto the battery positioning etc in front of the
gearbox and just behind the car seats the jack up the battery for precision
fit they connect wiring for low-voltage systems electrolytes consents
and now the brains of the electric car the power ella try next module they
install it on top of the motoring battery and wire it to boats
but with all the wires connected the module is acquitted conferred d_c_ power
from the battery to be casey power it will then supplies that current to the
motor as the driver steps on the accelerator with a vacuum system they
drain air from the battery and pumping liquid coolant coolant continuously
flows through the battery to maintain and even temperature throughout but
the body panels are made of durable lightweight carbon fibers
and with the computer software updated and the car now completely assembled
it's time for a test run
as this sports car accelerates
there's no throw hero or unlike at gas powered engine
the electric motor takes off quietly
and quickly
it's a silent room with no fuel
