Turbine Tuesday! But just like the Turbine industry, we had a bit of a backlog. So its coming out on weds.. This week we dive into Forging from first principles and why its the best mfg method ever invented. 🧵
Westinghouse wants to build ten AP1000 reactors in the US, and the binding constraint is in the supply chain rather than the license. Heavy components are one of the tightest links, because few plants in the world can fabricate a reactor vessel, and the wait runs into years. In March, it turned its Italian subsidiary, Mangiarotti, into Westinghouse Electric Italy, a nuclear hub of around 300 people building the vessels, steam generators, and pressurizers for the fleet. The Monfalcone plant runs milling centers with 600-tonne turntables and a cold rolling mill that handles nuclear-grade plate up to 250 mm thick, with direct port access for shipping the finished components. info.westinghousenuclear.com…

Dylan Morris is building the universal interface for turning heat into electricity. Thx to AI, demand for energy has gone vertical. The supply chain is broken. And turbines are the bottleneck. Most turbines are literally repurposed jet engines, which makes them very expensive and very slow to manufacture! Order backlog is ~5 years. And the existing suppliers are 100-year old companies that move very, very slowly. If your plan involves turning heat into electricity, you need a turbine. Natural gas? You need a turbine. Nuclear fission? You need a turbine. Nuclear fusion? You need a turbine. Dylan & co is designing the first purpose-built turbines for energy production and ease of manufacturing. The man is front-running the entire industry. Stoked to be on this ride with you, @Dylan_Morri !
The US needs 1.5 terawatts of new power by 2035. AI has scaled beyond our ability to build power and the existing power supply chain is the bottleneck The future demands a new kind of hardware company, building a new kind of Turbine Introducing: Stone Power @StonePowerUS 🧵1/11

Dylan breathes, sweats, and bleeds turbines. There’s no one more qualified to lead @StonePowerUS in solving this exceedingly critical bottleneck.

Gigawatts to the grid. Turbines are built with Stone.
