Hello World is BACK. Stay tuned for Parts 2 and 3, coming soon!
@BloombergQuicktake Love this host. Please continue to hire Ashlee Vance to create loads more content. Nice work.
Can you add TH-cam time stamps for future videos?
Where does the general public send their old electronics with lithium and cadmium Batteries to be recycled by Redwood Materials?
I fucking love this series and Ashlee.
What about parts 4-1M?
JB deserves way more love! Thanks for interviewing him :)
That's called Redwood I.P.O when it happens.
Ashlee Vance is back! Hell yeah
Ashlee Vance being hired by Bloomberg was a genius move.
Absolutely.
Yup, dude is hilarious
Awesome! This is circular remanufacturing, this is cradle-to-cradle production. Building a renewably powered circular economy is the goal so we can clean up our beautiful world. Thank you!
This man is both informative and very interactive at the same time, I love it!
This is a fantastic video about a fantastic person (JB). Thank you Mr. Vance.
Ashlee Vance has a calming voice. Love his videos.
thx, mate
@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld - Thanks for that great book on Tesla, & Elon, too!
Is there a J.B. Straubel book in the future?
@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld Will there be a part 2 to the Elon Musk biography?
@@erickelly5587 Maybe one day. Writing a different book right now. Should be out next year.
@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld Great. Elon Musk is a fantastic read.
Ashley, we missed you. Thanks for bringing back this series. Amazing.
Thank the sponsor for supporting it, or? Oh the dichotomies
+1. .. Many thanks! .. Happy Holidays & New Year 2021, .. Vail, Colorado
For J.B. Straubel (the subject of the title) 7:00 -> 18:30
Sooo cool to see these episodes back! I wish all TH-cam could be informative like that!
Loved the Shenzhen documentary from Ashlee Vance, finding out this is back made my day!
Meanwhile in a University lab in Alberta Canada, We have a group of researchers that have figured out how to efficiently manipulate matter at the atomic scale. The reality of scarcity is about to disappear.
For real?
This is awesome!! can't wait to see the other 2 parts :D
Wowwww!!!!!
This is just awesome.
Mann!! please release part 2 and 3 soon.
You are an amazing journalist, keep it up🔝!! Much love from Greece🇬🇷 ❤️❤️❤️
Innovation and science road trip content. I LOVE IT
Really enjoyed this, thank you! I could have watched the JB interview for as many hours as you could make it. I guess that wouldn’t be a QuickTake though.
Yay \o/ Only three parts? I want more parts! All the parts!
Looking forward to part 2
Recycling will be instrumental to the future of EV's and grid scale energy storage.
But burning them is not the answer.
My thoughts exactly, but what’s the alternative? It’s a boiling point game, I hope they deconstruct as much as possible before lighting up and wasting away
@@evdm7482 There's a company called American Manganese that can recycle batteries without the traditional high-heat smelting process. It's a complete closed-loop hydro-metallurgical process, meaning they use chemicals and water that stay in the recycling system and not released to the environment, while recovering 92% of the battery material.
This was amazing! Great thank you!
yeaa ashlee back with more interesting stuff
Nice, I'm looking forward to the other two. Looks like a great road trip.
Very interesting journey 👍 Thank You
He's back ❤️❤️
A legitimate standardization of battery placement in devices that means they are easily “ejected “ by a machine seems the best way of removing batteries from any device-power tools, consumer electronics, or automobiles. The second criterion to be established is a standard for card placement-similar to battery “ejection “. And finally, plastic separation will have been accomplished by the previous two standards. Make these International standards, much like so many things. Easy, right?
I love how excited people re for this kind of content, gives me hope, we will make it to Mars and beyond!
I wish you asked him about the amount of waste and quality of it (toxicity) after recycling.
Fair. Let me see if I can get a reply from JB for you.
@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld you could also present how much of the material % is viable for high purity cathode.
@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld cheers
@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld Recovering elemental Li, Co, Ni, Cu requires steps, each with several processes that have by-products. There always are impurities that are cast off before the required purity levels are reached. Some are incinerated, and you can bet that there are scrubbers and other extractive processes being used. They are spending large amounts of energy for heat, all to create cost competitive approaches to recovery. They learn along the way and get better at it too. This is cutting edge stuff - it's great that he's doing it. We know he's capable!
@@freundron wish I could triple like your comment. They can also put filters and the like on their process to capture heat and reuse the energy, as well as Filter pollutants. Mining might be a terrible job, but it’s a Job, not sure how to solve that
Exquisite production. Some great text (Who's to credit?). And real - stay hungry, stay foolish - engineers which is always a pleasure. THX! JB was always the more interesting one IMO. Steve Bambro in a next Hello World??
This was fantastic 🙏
18:35 lol like Randy Marsh 'oh fuck yeah'
Awesome awesome video!
Keep posting interesting contents like this!
I enjoy your narration, it reminds me of Jonny Moseley from Warren Miller
Thx, mate.
When he said the geologist's name i thought it was James fault i was like that's awesome, he was meant to be a geologist . Until i read it his name.
There is an excellent Italian restaurant in Carson City, NV called Garibaldi’s. I am sure JB knows it.
Redwood is definitely onto something. A sustainable future depends on it
Luv from Somalia 🇸🇴
We have bushfires also man you have more face masks than me😳🦋
17:30 "BATTERIES ARE INFINITELY RECYCLABLE." Straight from the man himself. Booyah to all those people that say electric vehicles are bad for the environment because batteries end up in the trash. Not once JB gets involved!
Sick bro, let’s mine the whole world so every bro can have an electric flying pack! How sick is the future, pun intended!
@@evdm7482 nearly everything already runs on batteries, or needs a battery just to function. You can generate electricity without any fossil fuels. However the same cannot be said in reverse. It takes massive amounts of electricity and total energy just to find, extract, transport, refine, transport again. Then store, until it needs to be pumped up out of the storage tanks again just to be burned. Total efficiency of fossil fuels is less than 30% of the total energy on average. Much less if you factor the time trucks, trains, planes, construction equipment and car's spend just idling or sitting in traffic. While an electric doesn't care if it's moving or not. Nor does it give off poisonous fumes, consume many various toxic liquids just to run itself. And it doesn't give off super heated 220+° air!
@@4literv6 you're so right, we should stick to the current energizer battery and leave it at that. You totally got what I was saying and taught me a lesson. LOL
@@evdm7482 you don't seem to grasp even the basic concepts about energy, so I highly doubt anything that I shared even sunk in the most infinitesimal amount. 🤔
@@4literv6 or your ability to take a joke are nill? Don't let your ego and time wasted on a response to a random person be so easily undermined.
PS: I appreciate your response and it attempts to be plebian in order to inform a generally ill-informed general public, I hope someone else will be able to learn from them that the world is being destroyed in all current processes of extraction and human cost.
7:16 For the hasty ones who are here for Redwood and JB Straubel.
The Walker Lane is coming for you
It shows the public what is goes on in between shoots. It also would inspire other reporters how they would do if their media outlets would let them do it this way due to COVID-19.
@@robertlee8805 Okay fine, I changed my comment to be more neutral.
Interesting..
See Gordon Michael Scallion book Notes from the Cosmos. He had a series of nightmares over two decades ago and saw all this happen. He even made maps. One of the USA, one of the world. He calls it Earth changes. Read it during a rain storm!
1:50 My parents have that thing!!!!!!!!
JB is very vision person and he would succeeds one day to be the biggest battery producer.
7:30 JB STRAubel
17:27 well, my brain feels pretty degraded right now.
I love this
Ashlee Vance just sold another book to me
You can never have enough
Does anyone know if the lithium goes back into the batteries as a conductor (which is the most wanted attribute of lithium) or if it goes back as the shell of the batteries or similar?
It's very normal to downcycle lithium into less complex things (non-electronic stuff), so the real challenge is to recycle and reuse the lithium as an conductor.
like they are talking about in 16:40 :)
I'm not sure the person writing the video description has seen the video nor lives in CA. Petite little piece though, that "factory".
Please elaborate
@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld -masks up- gets tested, hops in an RV *bubble* and heads out to the Nevada desert, where he masks up when getting dangerously close to a geologist who explains the wonders and horrors of a -little-known- (clearly dropped the /s here) fault that could push California out to sea. Vance (my hero) then hangs out at the compound of a Tesla co-founder who has big *and important* plans (in stock (hue hue)) for the world’s batteries.
Forkgive me, I'm not getting paid for this, but I hope you get the gist.
He sounds like Anthony Bourdain. :)
HEAT is a waste of YIELD and is not environmentally friendly. I am happy to see a focus on battery material recycling, but "serious heat" is a "serious problem". I think Redwood will be successful, but the most profitable will be the most environmentally focused and green. No air pollution, no water pollution, no heat excess.
Any plans redwood would go public in near future?
Doubt it would happen in the "near future." They have a lot of work ahead of them and plenty of money to work with at the moment.
15:05 how many?
Luv from somalia
I'm buying real estate in Reno. Highly speculative, but the promise of an ocean view justifies it.
It was really Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning who founded Tesla, but whatevah.
12:47
And... JB had built a Dual Motor, Porsche 944 before that, as an EV Conversion, that was Quick, but, with Lead Acid Batteries, didn't have much Range! Hence, his interest in Better Batteries, before there was a "Tesla Motors Corporation!"
Is redwood public?
Not yet if you men buying shares
You know, you know, you know....
Elon said on Battery Day that Tesla would start recycling its batteries, so I'm wondering if that will be a collaboration with Redwood, or will Tesla just do its own thing?
Redwood Materials.
They already are under contract with redwood materials at gigavada for over 100 tons of recyclable battery waste materials just this year alone.
You can't do it a thousand times if you loose 20% each time...
I had NO clue jb left tesla until just now...
Hey, what's up with Redwood's yelp reviews. looks like poor management there; there are just a couple of fake 5-star reviews to hinder the legitimate 1-star reviews.
Like.
This is great - recycling these batteries is going to be a huge boom for society!
The Sarcasm really undermines the engineering brilliance behind this. I think you made this for middle school kid, but why would care about tectonic movements. Please don't post things that show you that you think your job is a joke. Theirs no fascination and so you've skipped over the "boring" details which actually would've made it more interesting and inspiring.
What does this mean? "I think you don't realize middle school kids wouldn't care about tectonic movements."
This is a crazy incoherent comment. Were you high when you wrote it?
mars fetish lol!
We are the CO virus. :( I want to help, but how?
EV stocks 📈
Not true! @ ~ 9:40 "...Elon got all the love and adoration..." is simply not true. Why do you think so many people follow JB now? He was always one of the greatly anticipated voices in/from Tesla. Bummed to see him leave. But excited for what he creates.
And the cars you choose to go there are diesel and gasoline powered!
Not for me this show...
The electric RV options were, um, limited.
Lmao nerd garden
Great topic but let’s get to the actual content. I got bored 6 min in and turned away. Sorry!
A truly awfup interview
I poop on Bitcoin
17:34 infinite recyclable??? Uhm no. What if your chemical supply or other rear earth materials run out, it's game over with recycling. Same with plastic recycling, it's just cheaper and better for the emissions to just dump the crap instead of recycling or "green recycling" aka burning it away !!
That's the point of recycling. It doesn't run out.
The material is too valuable to not recycle, it makes great economic sense. When the economic value is so high it's a no-brainer to plan for going this route.
The humorous care undoubtedly play because twig simulteneously open till a abounding freighter. elated, outstanding newsstand
Looks so dead where this was streamed its not impressive at all Tesla looks like a failure to me ! Might as well be mars terrain! Excuse me but video and it’s location is somewhat depressing to ones eyes !
They have said that they are going to fix that and make it like a nature park, I am hoping they plant *lots* of native trees
400 bil market cap is a failure, sure
U guys really need a better video editor.. u have probably lost 90% of he audience in the first 90 seconds.. Cop on.. 1st rule.. WTF is the video about.. Tell it in the first 60 seconds....
Thank you for the feedback. We have fired the editor and the host.
@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld is it for real ? lmao 😂😂
😂
Out seems that other TH-camr based low quality videos have caused your brain and attention span to degrade.
