RE:RE:Older Posts on EarthGrid

Here is the time stamped video from the recent EarthGrid Q&A, great hearing Troy Helming talk/praise about PyroGenesis:

@ToolmanTim lol.... The 1st question by someone.... "Are you finding pros and cons with plasma torch data from your various suppliers? I understand Pyrogenesis Canada has one of the largest groups of plasma experts in the world – is there intent to move forward with Pyrogenesis and leverage their expertise"

@ToolmanTim Troy's answer to that question: "Yes, we've talked to them about doing some engineering and procurement for our next batch of torches. We've purchased a total of 8 plasma torches and all of their related subsystems from other suppliers thus far, but yes, PyroGenesis is definately on our list for our next batch of procurement."

@risetothetop The host said at the end that the intent is to have the video uploaded in the near term. When Troy Helming answered the question, he confirmed that he intends to purchase from Pyrogenesis during his next round of torch purchases! From the horses mouth...

“This nonrefundable down payment is a significant step towards concluding the first SOW under the Master Agreement, a contract which anticipates many more SOWs to come,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “Provided the Client receives adequate financing, this contract has the potential to be a springboard from which PyroGenesis introduces a significant number of plasma torches into the marketplace. These direct sales would have an obvious impact on revenues and profitability, but they would also speak to our strategy to develop ongoing revenue streams from activities such as maintenance and spare parts sales. As industries increasingly seek efficient alternatives to fossil fuel-based systems, PyroGenesis’ electric and carbon-free plasma torches continue to be proven as not just a highly suitable alternative, but also a potentially faster and more cost-effective solution.”

@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."
