Boring robot

So the EarthGrid robot uses 72 plasma jet, and here we are talking about 5 from PYR at a cost of $13M.
Where are the other 67 torches come from and at what cost?

Is it possible that EarthGrid intends to scale up by trialing a smaller version of the robot first? ..similar concept to using of a 'pilot plant' to fine tune concept and work out any kinks before going full scale. I wouldn't be surprised with massive tunneling projects in their future...

I don't know Yajne, It would be like having a 4 wheel vehicle and trying it on 1 wheel first. That robot concept and patent requires 72 torches, 5 wouldn't do the trick in my opinion. But I admit I don't know anything about tunelling plasma robot.

It seems to me that, although the patent may show 72 torches for the full-scale version, it would be possible to build a 'mini-me' version of the entire robot to test in a real life situation, albiet a narrower 'test' tunnel. IMO it's not often that new concepts go from zero to full scale in a single step. Risks are usually mitigated and fine-tuning completed by scaling up. I

I believe this is the PYR board.  Take this convo elsewhere or else provide a link that proves PYR has business with the other company you mention.

[Yajne]

So panapple42, you're not aware that this discussion has EVERYTHING to do with the 5 torches that PYR will be supplying? ....and we anticipate news this week? You might want to do a bit of DD....

new investors dont have time to read between your lines 

[Yajne]

Sorry young fella, not going to do your DD for you, but you might start by reading the Jan.16 NR, and since then various links have been posted by BCONTVentures, TheShare, etc providing background on EarthGrid and their torch requirements. So time for you and new investors to do your homework.

Drum roll to the contract.  Glta

Wow Elon in the conversation....exciting times indeed .thanks Uncleron. Looking forward for a firm contract with earthgrid. In the meantime staying on the sidelines given the negative working capital and non collection of ARs. Glta
