Very interesting company EarthGrid/Troy Helming and what they are doing to the tunneling industry with plasma boring machines.

Interesting article on EarthGrid, take a look at the pictures of the plasma boring machine and compare these with the pictures from EarthGrid's patent (see below).

EarthGrid article: Earthgrid aims to re-wire the USA using super-cheap tunnel tech

@Myteev Check out the latest images on their latest patent.... https://patents.google.com/patent/US20230203948A1/en?inventor=Troy+Anthony+Helming

Pay attention to Fig 2 (from the patent link above^^):

Note the patent which @helloween references below clearly shows a non-transferred Arc Plasma Torch (APT) from PyroGenesis (small typo in the patent) is used. 

It doesn't get much clearer than this:

@helloween From Earthgrid website : "The tunnel and trenching machines will use torches powered by plasma created from electricity and **AIRFLOW**." From PYR NR : "deliver five (5) high power 2MW **AIR** plasma torch systems for an aggregate price of approximately US$13 million"

@helloween From Earthgrid 2021 patent application for a tunnel boring system (WO2022154911A1) which is different from the patent owned by Arcbyt filed in 2018 (WO2020101666A1) : "[0042] Figure 2 is a side view of one embodiment of the tunnel boring system. The cutting head 210 is attached to the cutting assembly 220. The cutting head 210 includes torches and nozzles for a stream of air and/or water, to assist with the boring. The power, and air/water are fed to cutting assembly 220 via umbilicals 245. In one embodiment, a non-transferred Arc Plasma Torch (APT) from PYPROGENSIS™ is used."

From her first post: "We will be looking for partnerships and projects to deploy this year. After almost 7 years of research and development, we are now ready to make our plasma technology commercially available for trenching and tunneling!"

Note this part from her post: After almost 7 years of research and development, we are now ready to make our plasma technology commercially available for trenching and tunneling!

I will be attending my first Metroconnect conference next week alongside our Founder & CEO at EarthGrid, Troy Helming!

We will be looking for partnerships and projects to deploy this year. After almost 7 years of research and development, we are now ready to make our plasma technology commercially available for trenching and tunneling!

If you will be at the conference and want to be at the forefront of this game changing technology, let’s talk.

We look forward to seeing you all soon!

FIG. 2 is a side view of one embodiment of the tunnel boring system. The cutting head 210 is attached to the cutting assembly 220. The cutting head 210 includes torches and nozzles for a stream of air and/or water, to assist with the boring. The power, and air/water are fed to cutting assembly 220 via umbilicals 245. In one embodiment, a non-transferred Arc Plasma Torch (APT) from PYPROGENSIS™ is used. 

This is proof that Pyrogenesis was already involved with EarthGrid. Maybe news on contract this week?
