secretive states later this went on when the. well next start he explores some of the technology that changed the world in twenty the. hello and welcome to technology update as you can see from the decorations at this department store in central moscow it's that time of year again now this artificial tree there's hardly any resemblance to the aromatic conifers of my childhood new materials are replacing natural and traditional ones left and right and that's especially true with carbon fibers which are increasingly finding their way into our latest gadgets and playthings. from carbon fiber actually been around for decades recreation like golf or everyday things like cell phones watches in cars
4:32 am
carbon fiber products are all around us. and here at each a refurbished car plant russia is certainly left out of the push to develop the latest generation of carbon fiber materials. a european aerospace delegation came to moscow to check out the opening of compazine new production complex the plant is expected to become the country's largest carbon fiber based maker. the overall global tendency and the forecasts by many and lists are both indicative of the fact that is in the near future possibly in a matter of a few years the demand for these materials can skyrocket and this may bring about changes to the entire global economic system we are talking about millions of tons as soon as this breakthrough that is to say quantum leap occurs it will mean a revolution in technology

oxidation. is produced with the help of. pain through a process called. at this stage our threads are made. by oxygen molecules from the air. they're put through to furnace is where they lose most of their. depending on their intended use they're either carbonized or. lower temperatures and as a result a lower carbon content. each fiber is now. percent carbon.
4:35 am
carbon. there's a few more steps to go and that takes us back to the production facilities here at each. the carbonized fibers to hold the new production line is outfitted with three. number one will be able to churn out six hundred kilograms of text they. will produce an additional one hundred thirty kilos a day by two thousand and fifteen this factory could produce two thousand. subject to. the world

standard for materials sixty to seventy. sixty to seventy thousand various samples for different kinds of design to check a full range of the materials properties. for those textiles can find their way. in the process the fabrics are turned into what are called. impregnated material they're basically the last intermediate phase before they're ready to be used in a whole host of things in this so called stage specialized equipment precisely introduced. into the right thing.

if you. had to come here. to produce. the result. the institute manufactures its own uranium targets. in the. reactor the facilities here have been turning out. a quarter of a century supplying to just about all of the isotopes that the countries needed up until very recently the institute has produced ninety nine percent of them used in the russian market. given the fact that we're essentially dealing with highly enriched uranium there are extremely limited number of places can be produced.
4:40 am
we started producing. after that. physics. production. as it reached the end of its service to. commercial producers the. current supply production is dominated by just a handful of reactors the two largest account for over sixty percent of global demand those two reactors are both over fifty years old and they're intended service life when they're eventually decommissioned new suppliers will have to be

found several alternatives are being explored including one in russia. especially for isotopes. takes us to where a new look production has been set up late last year a company called isotopes began pumping out the radio at the research institute of atomic reactors not yet up to full capacity is already started deliveries to clients like one of the world's leading isotope provide. ensuring reliable deliveries of molybdenum is so important because it accounts for over eighty percent of all nuclear medicine operations worldwide and here in grab such a vital issue required a new solution. this technology has not. but in terms of the equipment and in this regard it's a new technology not available anywhere else as far as i'm aware and at the moment we're currently at the production. after the targets are cooled there transported
4:42 am
to hot cells for processing that involves dissolving the whole target in a chemical solution solid residues are filtered out and is extracted using sailing ammonium hydroxide here new technology saves time which is important because every hour after irrigation about one percent of the isotope is lost to radioactive decay . our production target is eight hundred units today we produced one hundred sixty there was a shipment yesterday that's the first phase of our production at the same time we continue working on the second stage and expected to reach its design capacity in two thousand and twelve. the output target here is very high about two thousand four hundred juries per week. overall demand is estimated at one hundred.
4:43 am
production ramps up doctors should have they need to perform lifesaving diagnostics . but in addition. can also be used in medical centers like this to cure what. are some medical conditions the radiation by these isotopes can be harnessed to destroy weaken malfunctioning cells . by choosing the appropriate isotope radio. i. can be taken. with christmas presents with presents trash in many countries much of it just. piles up people are increasingly looking for alternatives.

have managed to develop solutions for all of these issues. domestic materials which can be easily produced in any of russia's regions only traditional. mixes water with the abrasive at the very beginning this is to take advantage of something called the. twenty eight. can be broken down easily when they come into contact with an active liquid. compressed air is used to accelerate the mixture to the speed of. the buildup we want to get rid of. is completely encased by. the size of the abrasive depends on what we want to get rid of the unique things here contact. works its way into the pores of the buildup that has the benefit of penetrating and weakening the structure of the target as were potentially harmful effect the abrasive has on the underlying surface. invention as well as production units have
4:53 am
gone through the complete process from an idea to the project we started with designs then produced prototypes through the plates and. then we produced a pilot batch of three units we made the manually. by the time we go to. commercial production. innovative product. and there's apparently no shortage of interested customers especially in the energy. power plants like these serious build up on important parts can eat into the energy efficiency and profits as well as increase the chance of an accident but moving from cleaning power plants to what we do with electricity is the topic of alexander's most recent creation. for a new portable device such as. tablets laptops is going to be used on travel on trains
4:54 am
planes. and users will no longer have to depend on having an electric around remembering to take the relevant cord with them it will be in the past i think a major potential. possibly. because switching to producing. is a big competitive advantage on the market. and that's not something that's been lost on many of the world's top makers a good number of them have teamed up to. there are already a decent number of so-called wireless chargers on the market however at present all of them still require you to place your device on a charging pad and with a separate charger. they give you a bit more freedom but are still tied directly to some kind of plugged in charger. there is a number of issues around this solution among them the impact on human health.
4:55 am
devices in the vicinity the most important thing here is that we've succeeded in bringing these devices efficiency up to a very high level about eighty five percent and the only thing alexander thinks his charger over the competition it can theoretically work with. but most importantly this prototype can top up your battery anywhere around the charger not just on a pad unlike with the others. affectively up to thirty centimeters away from the base of this device uses the principle of the tesla coil it has the energy producing coral installed inside the mobile device in turn is equipped with a receiver designed as a stick stick or not we have developed a special feed circuits for the coil which use a very high efficiency facts about eighty five percent of this is achieved through the use of a switch mode power supply unit or the coil in other words while any inductive
4:56 am
system goes through the oscillation build up phase in order to build up the energy production in our device but there is no buildup as such we start of the process just once and it exonerates through induction we only given hansing impulses once in a while. and your device is still in the project stage what more do you need to do to bring it to the market. to start commercial production of this device we need to meet three requirements first we need to complete the prototype and run it through all the necessary tests then make all necessary improvements and changes and produce a pilot batch because a. second we need to have all the patients registered and third we need to set up a technology company in accordance with international standards. within that wireless
