Hi Natalka,
Consider writing to ALL of your subs, in several different posts, and ask them each to post and repost a message to @ Support, you will send on a certain day later next week, tbd
Practice asking Grok several times, to develop the best response to show that Ukrainian voices are essentially being silenced, because they they do not align with Russian disinformation.
@Grok What question can she ask you later, to elicit a compelling response from you later, in a few days, that she can repost directed to " X support" on this issue, with the desired effect. Reguarding this (do some further research to prove it, showing the extent of potential supression, across popular Ukrainian voices ), purposeful supression (It seems that X went out of it's way to quash this content).
And how supression of the defenders and supporters of Ukrainian, that differ with Russian disinformation, is actively promoting disinformation, against X's own policies. Thanks,
Hi Mike,
For the donation page:
Firefox:
I use FireFox on Windows 11, and it offers to translate Ukrainian to English. But if it doesn't, I right click on the upper left orange symbol, or the 24, and select "Translate Link text to English", then "Translate Full Page".
Chrome:
Chrome has Google Translate built-in, but if the automatic prompt doesn't appear, you can force it:
Windows/Mac: Right-click anywhere on the empty space of the page and select "Translate to English". If that fails, click the Translate icon in the address bar (looks like a small G or a document with a character).
Mobile (Android/iOS): Tap the three-dot menu (top right on Android, bottom right on iOS) and select Translate.
Automatic Translation: To enable this permanently, go to Chrome Settings > Languages > toggle "Offer to translate pages in this language" to ON
Thanks,
Alex
Morning . Update on concentrators fundraiser .
So still awaiting invoice but cost will be same as previous 20 purchased -
£350 per unit. Soon as invoice comes in I’ll put it up. So x5 1750 cost inc shipping . Fed ex import duty to pay is around £430 per batch of x5 . So around £2200 all in . Donations to date are £1470.00 so x4 concentrators purchase price covered . Thanks for donations so far . Please keep reposting for me as my relatively small account reach is limited . Thanks as always .. 🇬🇧🐺🇺🇦

Appreciate the balanced comparison! The real game-changer with @rowow’s open-patent SEM tech is the ultra-low-cost, durable, expendable membranes (<$1 per sq yard vs $400+/sq ft commercial). Treated as front-end consumables, they could let Tesla (and contractors) run *any* grade ore — or even tailings/waste from other companies — at near-zero feedstock cost.
That alone could push Tesla’s already-leading LiOH production well below the current ~$4,500–6,000/ton target while making the environmental footprint even smaller. (Current spot LiOH is still $15k–20k+/ton range.)
Huge bonus for iron & base metals: direct room-temperature electrochemical reduction straight from industrial slag waste (China alone produces 70–100+ million tons of steel slag per year, with hundreds of millions of tons already stockpiled as an environmental headache). No coke, no carbon, no high-heat pollution — just electrons in, metal out.
This could materially lower stainless steel costs (currently ~$2,000–3,500/ton) for Tesla vehicles, Cybertrucks, Megapacks, and especially SpaceX rockets & Starship structures.
The entire process is true closed-loop: Cl₂ + H₂ recombined internally via UV (zero net chemicals), toxic waste turned into garden-usable water + inert sand. Tesla & SpaceX could require suppliers to adopt this cleaner electrochemistry going forward — 100% aligned with first-principles thinking and relentless continuous improvement.
Robert Karas open-patented it FOSS because he shares the exact same philosophy: technology and knowledge should be free to improve the world.
In an industry still drowning in legacy methods and massive mining waste, this feels like a genuine Houbolt moment — the overlooked paradigm shift that deserves parallel, frontline consideration right now.
(cont.) Front-end SEM stage replaces traditional acid/thermal steps, letting Tesla source *any* grade ore or tailings/waste at near-zero feedstock cost — slashing lithium well below Tesla’s current ~$13,000/ton LiOH production target (and far below spot market prices of $10k–$20k+/ton) while dramatically improving the environmental footprint.
Especially powerful for iron & base metals: direct room-temp electrochemical reduction from industrial slag waste (100+ million tons/year piled up in China alone). No coke, no carbon, no high-heat pollution. Flips environmental disasters into resources — and could cut stainless steel costs (currently ~$2,000–$3,500/ton) for Tesla/SpaceX vehicles, rockets, and structures.
Tesla & SpaceX could require contractors to adopt this cleaner electrochemistry — 100% aligned with first-principles thinking + continuous improvement.
Robert Karas open-patented SEM FOSS because, like Tesla/SpaceX, he believes tech & knowledge should be free.
In an industry drowning in legacy waste and methods, this is a genuine Houbolt moment — the overlooked paradigm shift that deserves parallel frontline consideration, here on earth, and closed loop mining on the moon and beyond.
