Elon Musk’ Boring Company Announced Its Third Gen Machine is Working
During a launch event in December 2018, Elon Musk announced that its company is working on a third-generation Boring machine, named Prufrock.
The Boring Company has deployed its unique tunnel boring machine and it integrates a few great innovations, so the dream of ultra-high-speed tunnels for transporting vehicles underground is even closer.
Unlike other attempts of traditional tunnel boring machines (TBM), Prufrock is expected to be able to dig quicker and make a difference.
To share the amazing news, the Boring Company has shared an image of a boring machine saying “Prufrock is alive”, on Twitter.
The project will offer the company the opportunity to show off its concept on a limited extent while working on their tunnel-boring technology which hopefully will improve traffic in metropolitan areas.
The Boring Company Finishes 155mph Vegas Loop First Tunnel Last month I attended the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Vegas. I had a list of all the tech I wanted to see, talk to someone about, or try for myself, and I spent two days speed-walking between buildings and booths, scrambling to cram it all in: a 360-degree hologram, an exosuit, a flying taxi, haptic gloves—I didn’t want to miss any of it. By the end of each day, my legs and feet ached—and I hadn’t come close to seeing everything I wanted to. I’m not a step-counter, but other attendees claimed to be walking several thousand steps more than their daily averages. If Elon Musk’s new project pans out, next year’s CES will look totally different, for me and all the other (175,000+) attendees—and it will involve a lot less walking. Last week, Musk’s Boring Company finished excavating the first of two tunnels for a new transportation system that will run underneath the Las Vegas Convention Center ...
Elon Musk said Wednesday that the company’s factory in Buffalo, New York will open “as soon as humanly possible” to produce ventilators that are in short supply due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. His comments, which were made Wednesday via Twitter, follows previous statements by the CEO outlining plans to either donate ventilators or work to increase production of the critical piece of medical equipment needed for patients who are hospitalized with COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by coronavirus. COVID-19 attacks the lungs and can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia. And since there is no clinically proven treatment yet, ventilators are relied upon to help people breathe and fight the disease. There are about 160,000 ventilators in the United States and another 12,700 in the National Strategic Supply, the NYT reported . Elon Musk ✔ @elonmusk · 16 h Replying to @flcnhvy @Tesla Making goo...
Billionaire Elon Musk has told his employees at Tesla that they can stay at home if they’re worried about the novel coronavirus outbreak, but that he intends to keep going to work. According to the Los Angeles Times, Tesla’s Fremont, California, electric vehicle assembly plant, which employs about 10,000 people, will remain open despite a lockdown issued by six Bay Area counties. That’s because it’s been deemed to be an “essential business” by officials, although it’s unclear why a vehicle manufacturer has been given that status. Musk told employees in a Monday night email: “If you feel the slightest bit ill or even uncomfortable, please do not feel obligated to come to work.” However, he added: “My frank opinion is that the harm from the coronavirus panic far exceeds that of the virus itself.” He said COVID-19 cases “will not exceed 0.1 percent of the population,” and told staff: “I will personally be at work, but that’s just me.” One unnamed employee told the Times: “I’m going in...
