Honda Unveils First Hybrid Motor Without Heavy Rare Earth Metals (engadget.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Honda has unveiled its new hybrid motor this week that doesn't use heavy rare earth metals like dysprosium and terbium -- though it still does contain neodymium. The motor was co-developed alongside Daido Steel and will use their magnets in replace of the rare earth metals because they cost 10 percent less and weigh 8 percent less. Honda is the first automaker to develop a hybrid motor that doesn't use heavy rare earth metals. The company says the new engines will reduce its reliance on the metals that are primarily supplied by China. They're expected to make their debut in the compact Freed minivan this fall, a vehicle that is already on the road in Asia.
We must have a border again. Our great border patrols have their hands bound behind their back. They are not allowed to do their great work. The DEMOCRATS force them to allow the CRIME RAPE AND ABUSE to enter our country.
Trump had one policy for his children: no drugs, no alcohol. He never drinks as well. On business meetings he sees what harm alcohol does to people. We must stop the DRUGS from pouring in. For this we need a strong border. What is a country without a strong border. Really, it almost seems that the authorities support the DRUGS because they fear to lose the votes of the DRUG ADDICTS.
