The Fibre Placement Process

Automatically places multiple individual prepreg tows onto a mandrel at high speed, using a numerically controlled, articulating robotic placement head to dispense, clamp, cut and restart as many as 32 tows simultaneously. Machines are available with dual mandrel stations to increase productivity.

Advantages of fibre placement include:

• Processing speed
• Reduced material scrap
• Labour costs
• Parts consolidation
• Improved part-to-part uniformity

Often used to produce large thermoset parts with complex shapes.

Is Tidal Energy Renewable or Non-Renewable?

Tidal energy is renewable because it uses tides as its supplier. In other words, the source of energy can be easily restored after use. Also, it produces energy at a higher rate than it is consumed, considering that energy is constantly being produced with the movement of the tide.

Tidal Energy Process

The process begins by placing a turbine on a coastal line with high tidal movement. These turbines are made to use the kinetic energy from the tides in order to produce electricity. Attached to the generator is a rod which then attaches to the rotor. When the turbine uses the kinetic energy by turning due to the tides, the rotor filled with magnets turns and generates electrical energy.

China: Population 1.3 billion growing rapidly - 1 child policy used in the past

Most population in middle/middle-high income. Therefore spend a lot on luxury goods - more than any other country. Manufacturing hub Fashion industry - open to overseas brands, willing to spend a lot (not price sensitive) GDP growing fast, huge economy, dynamic & successful TRADE - surpassed US as a trading nation, rely heavily on emerging markets such as Brazil for exports but these EM cannot compete with their huge success and dominance. E-commerce industry is huge - no Facebook Whatsapp or Google, they use their own, WeChat has 900 million users. Use phones for everything. “Belt Road Initiative” - extend trade routes & integrate the economy. Opportunities... Continue reading "China: Opportunities and Strategies for Doing Business" »

Causes of Deforestation

• Procuring land for cultivation
• Building houses and factories
• Making furniture, using wood as fuel
• Natural causes such as forest fires and droughts

Effects of Deforestation

• Increase in atmospheric temperature due to increased carbon dioxide concentration, leading to global warming
• Severe droughts and floods
• Changes in soil nature, water holding capacity, and soil erosion, leading to desertification
• Destruction of wildlife habitat, making survival difficult
