"Lightning struck Mikael twice - on the same day
About 5-10 people are struck by lightning every year. M. P. in Boden was struck by two lightning bolts in one afternoon. The probability? The chance of winning a big lottery prize is 10,000 times greater.
On Friday, a severe thunderstorm broke out along the Norrbotten coast and in parts of the interior.
M. P. was at Börstingens camping outside Boden and it was when he was going to fold down his awning on the caravan that it thundered - something that P4 Norrbotten reported first.
- "It just flashed from my hands and I was kind of stuck. Then it let go and I turned round and then it hit again, says M. P. to SVT.
Mikael managed to escape without serious injuries, but still suffers from some discomfort after being struck by lightning twice in the same day."

Today our major German state radio station DLF broadcast a programme about the unique transport of the church in Kiruna. Talga is one of the programme items at that spectacle.
Of course, the Sami and their suffering also had their say in this programme. But, for the first time that I have heard, it was publicly announced that not everyone is against new mines or the expansion of existing ones. After all, Kiruna only exists because of mining.)
I also read a long Reddit thread and there was a lot of criticism about their anti-attitude. Tactically, I don't think it's so clever to shout so loudly all the time and use the term colonialism in an inflationary way.
When it gets really serious at some point, very few people will hear it from their shrill shouting and take it seriously.

"OTC MARKETS WEBINAR
Whilst being quite tired and a touch inebriated, I regardless thought I would attempt jotting down a few thoughts to share from the webinar Mark just put on that started at midnight AEST. And thanks to MPK1980 for reminding me on here earlier today that it was even on tonight.
Mark, for my mind, put on one of his best performances promoting what the company is about I have ever seen. I got the sense he has the fire in the belly and is keen to get on with it really soon.
He spoke very well on the topic of defence vis-a-vi supply chain risk, which for me was a very smart move to do to an American audience. His points made perfect sense and they would be pretty hard to argue against.. I don’t think you need to be even half smart to extrapolate how this sector is going to be bloody huge for Talga in the future. Almost all anode used in drone batteries, or any battery, as we all know originates in China. The EU and US are currently in a mad panic to come to terms with this new paradigm that was spectacularly highlighted by the Ukrainian SBU’s destruction of an estimated 7 billion dollars worth of Russian aircraft in ‘operation spiderweb’.. Umm do we think it safe to get our drone batteries from the CCP? Probably not! We’re in for big money from the defense sector in my opinion and probably from both sides of the Atlantic.
The answers he gave when responding to enquiry about challenges to entering the US market for the Talnode R recycled product, were clear, concise and I found them quite stunning actually. He commented that they had been strategising a US market entry for two years now and with some glee, it seemed to me, he said it may not be as hard as some might imagine. Talga would look at sites already zoned as ‘chemical parks’, a clear signal to us long suffering investors that we shouldn’t expect ten years of red tape to get this up and running. He hammered home the point made in the webinar before this, that the company would be taking a recycling by-product off the hands of companies who have no knowledge of how they can use it. And relayed how gob smacked he was when he and the company realised the proprietary tech they have developed for their purification processes turned out to work perfectly for extracting reusable graphite from black mass. This was 100% one of the highlights of the talk!
A thought here on Talnode R… Some, myself included until recently, may have been struggling to think of the recycled stuff as having much validity. I have always thought of the vittangi/ luleo mine to anode, vertically integrated project as the ‘meat and potatoes’ of Talga.. Which it probably still is. I admit for a while I’ve been suspecting Talga were ‘playing the recycling card’ because that’s what The EU want to hear… ‘the circular economy’ and all that palaver. And I did have a sense also that maybe the company, in a ploy to stop our SP falling too far might be engaging a bit of ‘ look over here at this new shiny thing guys’ while our project and share price was labouring under seemingly endless red tape. I have to say I do not believe this is what’s going on here with Talnode R now .. not in the slightest. And Taldode R, while perhaps not becoming Talga’s main course, may turn out to be one of the heartiest side dishes known to man.
I hope there will be a way for investors to watch this webinar back soon. They should put it out to the market or at least up on the website in my opinion.. It was a ripper. It has buoyed my Talga confidence a lot tonight.. Enjoy your weekend Talgarians, and think of me doing my 12 hour shift tomorrow night when you’re all having a beer or a glass of wine winding down.. I shall just be starting.. Please let this baby take off soon, I can’t take much more of this bollocks, lol

"Concept AMG GT XX from Mercedes-AMG
AMG with incredible super sports car of the future
Mercedes-AMG is showing the study for a four-door, electric hypercar with 1,360 hp, retractable rims and an insane cockpit – but without a rear window. Everything about the Concept AMG GT XX.
Even if this AMG is initially only a concept car – if this flat four-door car hits the road like this, it would probably be the most spectacular of all electric cars to date. In any case, the Affalterbach-based company has put everything the Mercedes Group has to offer in terms of technology and innovations into the Concept AMG GT XX. Whether it's extendable airblades on the wheels, three axial flux motors with a total of 1,000 kW or the latest battery technology with directly cooled round cells and extremely short charging times – the list of superlatives is long. But first things first.
"The best minds of all development departments"
The chief engineer of Mercedes-Benz, Markus Schäfer, describes the project as follows: "The best minds in our global development departments have contributed their extensive know-how – from Mercedes-Benz in Sindelfingen and Untertürkheim to Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach and YASA in England to our Formula 1 powertrain experts at Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains in Brixworth."
"Together, they have developed the CONCEPT AMG GT XX and provide a glimpse of groundbreaking drive technology and the future of performance. The technology program will continue to push the boundaries of what is feasible and break new ground. The Concept AMG GT XX with its three axial flux motors takes performance and endurance to a completely new level."
The key data of the Concept AMG GT XX
The bright orange Hypercar flounder stands on the new electric AMG. EA platform, is 5.20 meters long and 1.95 meters wide (2.13 meters with mirrors). The height of the four-door is 1.31 meters. This makes the GT XX slightly flatter than a Porsche Taycan, which was certainly a strong focus during development as a direct competitor. Despite the imposing appearance, the Cd value of the study is said to be 0.198 – a sensationally low value. By comparison, a Porsche Taycan comes in at 0.22, as does the new Mercedes CLA.
Mercedes has not yet revealed how heavy the AMG GT XX is. On the other hand, we know that three axial flux motors from the Mercedes subsidiary Yasa are used (see below). With a combined peak output of 1,000 kW – i.e. 1,360 hp – the AMG GT XX is expected to reach speeds of over 360 km/h. Continuous load should not be a problem for machines and battery, nor should extremely fast recharging. Mercedes-AMG promises that the concept car can recharge the energy for around 400 kilometres of WLTP range in around five minutes. The new battery technology is said to be able to withstand average charging capacities of an incredible 850 kW. We explain exactly how all this works in the following paragraphs.
The design of the Concept AMG GT XX
Functionality and aerodynamics were the focus of development. The body is therefore designed as a hatchback with a low front hood, a flat-sloping windshield and actually without a rear window. The front shows a radiator grille with vertical struts, integrated auxiliary headlights and air outlets on the hood for heat dissipation. The front splitter, the long rear, the double-bubble roof and the covered underside are supposed to improve air flow.
The side view is defined by flared fenders, a flat roof and recessed door handles. At the rear, a large diffuser, six round taillights and an integrated airbrake provide stability at high speed. The design is complemented by luminous paint segments and active aero wheels with adjustable air deflectors to optimise brake cooling and drag.
Active aero wheels as "extendable rims"
The brake cooling of the Concept AMG GT XX is supported by an active, aerodynamically designed rim system. The 21-inch aero wheels are equipped with five movable plastic elements ("aeroblades") that open when needed. In normal operation, they fit snugly to minimize drag. If the vehicle detects an increased need for cooling – for example during a sporty driving style or intensive deceleration – the blades open automatically. This creates an annular gap on the outer edge of the wheel, through which air is directed to the brake and out again.
View attachment 87683
This effect is supported by internal slats that increase the airflow. The system works completely autonomously: Each wheel actuator (directly on the wheel hub) generates its own energy via the rotary movement and communicates wirelessly with the central control unit. This enables effective, needs-based brake cooling while at the same time optimising aerodynamics.
Interior of the Concept AMG GT XX
The interior design is clearly based on a racing car cockpit, where technical functionality and weight efficiency are paramount. Even the steering wheel could come from a Formula 1 racer. However, the double control system with its mini touch surfaces, which has now been established at Mercedes, would probably distract the F1 drivers too much. The entire interior is initially in black, with many orange and silver accents standing out. For this purpose, there are visible structural elements, such as exposed structural beams or cables. The center console consists of an open aluminum extrusion structure with glowing tubes reminiscent of high-voltage cables.
The two front bucket seats are integrated into the car structure and are made of carbon. Their seat cushions are individually adaptable and are manufactured using 3D printing based on a body scan of the driver and front passenger. They are upholstered in a leather alternative made from recycled GT3 racing tyres. This biotechnologically produced material solution is said to offer a similar feel and look to real leather, but is significantly lighter and fully recyclable. An equally newly developed silk alternative is used for the door loops and is based on silk proteins produced by genetically modified bacteria.
Displays without big surprises
Two large displays take over the display and control functions. The instrument cluster measures 10.25 inches, the central touchscreen 14 inches. Both are embedded in a continuous glass surface and oriented towards the driver's side. We already know this area from current production models. The cockpit is complemented by an LED system on the steering wheel that displays performance and charging information in colour.
The door panels are reduced over the surface and have integrated lighting elements. The headliner is missing in favor of the view of the carbon structure. The flooring also picks up on the motorsport theme: it looks unspectacularly technical relative to the rest of the car. The topic of battery technology is more exciting.
Completely new high-voltage battery with round cells
The battery technology of the Concept AMG GT XX has been completely redeveloped and is designed for high continuous output and fast charging capability. A high-voltage battery with a nominal voltage of more than 800 volts is used, which is based on cylindrical cells with a particularly high and narrow format. This cell format is intended to allow efficient heat dissipation, as the heat path from the inside of the cell to the surface is short. Each cell is directly surrounded by an electrically non-conductive coolant, which enables precise temperature control – even under heavy loads. The cells are housed in laser-welded plastic modules in which the cooling channels are already integrated.
Another feature is the laser-welded aluminum housing of the cells, which is lighter than conventional steel variants and has better thermal conductivity. Cell chemistry combines an NCMA cathode (nickel, cobalt, manganese, aluminum) with a silicon-containing anode. As a result, the battery achieves an energy density of over 300 Wh/kg at the cell level. Thanks to so-called full-tab technology with full-surface connection to the cell poles, the internal resistance is reduced, which allows high charging and discharging currents.
View attachment 87684
The intelligent thermal management enables rapid adjustments of the cell temperature depending on the driving situation. This means that charging can be resumed immediately even after driving at high speeds, and vice versa, full power is immediately available after charging. Energy for a range of around 400 kilometres (according to WLTP) can be recharged in around five minutes. The battery is housed in the middle of the vehicle floor and is part of the load-bearing structure. In addition to mechanical tasks, the battery housing also fulfils safety-related tasks and is integrated into the crash concept.
Electric power packages from Yasa
The drive concept of the CONCEPT AMG GT XX is based on three newly developed axial-flux electric motors. Two of these motors are integrated into a compact unit with a planetary gearbox and inverter on the rear axle, while another motor is located on the front axle and acts as an additional "boost" drive. This arrangement enables a fully variable torque distribution between the front and rear axles. The axial flux technology allows a particularly high power density with a small installation space and weight. The total output is over 1,000 kW (more than 1,360 hp), and the top speed is over 360 km/h.
Technical data: Concept AMG GT XX
The electric motors are characterized by an electromagnetic flux along the motor axis, which favors their compact design. They are around two-thirds lighter and require only one-third of the installation space of conventional electric motors. This results in advantages in terms of cooling, packaging and continuous performance. For maximum efficiency, the front electric motor can be decoupled via a mechanical unit when it is not needed.
The entire drive strategy as well as the thermal management are designed to provide constant power under repeated heavy loads – a property that has so far only been feasible to a limited extent in the electromobility sector. The engines and battery were developed with the participation of Formula 1 technical experts, which is said to be reflected in the performance characteristics and endurance. AMG CEO Michael Schniebe calls this "pitstop capability".
Chances of series production in 2026
Whether and how exactly a possible AMG opponent for the Porsche Taycan could come onto the market is still left open by Mercedes. What is certain, however, is that at least Yasa's extremely powerful axial flux motors will go into series production in 2026. By then, it should also be clear what the two-door hypercar, which has also been announced, is all about.
Result
The Concept AMG GT XX is a four-door high-performance electric sports car that is intended to show what the Swabians want to be capable of in the future. It combines an aerodynamically optimised body with three compact axial flow motors (1,360 hp), a newly developed high-voltage battery and a purist, functional interior. The vehicle serves as a technology platform for the future electric AMG-EA platform."

"Mercedes Concept AMG GT XX wins multiple records
With the electric Concept AMG GT XX, Mercedes-Benz has provided an outlook on a future, four-door series sports car. Now the concept vehicle on the high-speed test track in NardÃ3 in southern Italy will have broken a total of 25 long-distance records.Among the records Mercedes has now announced by announcement is also the record for the greatest distance ever covered by an electric vehicle within 24 hours. The Concept AMG GT XX is said to have driven 5,479 kilometres in 24 hours – more than 1,500 kilometres more than the previous record, according to the Stuttgart-based company.
However, the prototype of the electric sports car has not stopped after 24 hours. In fact, the car has been on the road for seven days, 13 hours, 24 minutes and 7 seconds, only interrupted by short breaks. During this time he has covered 40,075 kilometres, so it has once circumnavigated the world. On average, the AMG GT XX has covered more than 5,300 kilometres a day, the majority of which are at 300 km/h. This is made possible by a drive system with three axial flow motors, which are intended to be characterised by a high continuous output.
Mercedes has already undertaken a similar test drive in NardÃ3 with a pre-series copy of the new CLA and covered 3,717 kilometres in 24 hours at the time – with 40 precisely calculated charging stops. At that time, the CLA was simply on the road at the possible top speed of 210 km/h – which, according to the simulations, was simply the fastest despite the higher consumption.
Not so with the Concept AMG GT XX: This vehicle is still capable of significantly higher speeds. However, consumption would have increased sharply at an even higher rate. The simulation in advance was also decisive here: “These analyses showed that 300 km/h offers the best balance between line speed and charging cycles – and thus enables the fastest total time,” as Mercedes says. All records can be found in the tables at the end of the article.
Not only a Concept AMG GT XX was on the track, but two cars parallel – after more than 40,000 kilometres, both cars were only 25 kilometres apart. Several experienced racers sat at the wheel, each sitting at the wheel for two hours before they were replaced. “As an F1 driver, I’m used to bringing technology to its absolute limits – the Concept AMG GT XX really impressed me,” says Mercedes Formula 1 driver George Russell, who also took part in the record drive. “The axial river motors react as directly and precisely as a Formula 1 drive, but with an endurance that I only knew from internal combustion engines. This technology will revolutionize the driving experience – both on the race track and on the road.”
The concept car presented in June as an outlook on the platform AMG.EA has not only made headlines with its peak performance of up to 1,000 kW and 360 km/h top speed, but also with its charging power: The round cells with NMCA cell chemistry are to be charged with up to 850 kW, which corresponds to electricity for 400 WLTP kilometres in just five minutes. Now Mercedes even speaks of “standard high average charging powers of around 850 kW” – i.e. on average, not for a short time in the lead. For the test, a prototype loader from Alpitronic was installed in NardÃ3. “This joint development approach of the vehicle and the charging infrastructure shows the potential when both components are optimally coordinated. After each charging stop, the acceleration to Tempo 300 followed again, until the next charging stop. So it went over and over again, by day and by night, in total for eight days,” says Mercedes. The special challenge for the drive, battery and charging station: During the day, temperatures of over 35 degrees were reached in the shade, in the sun it was significantly hot.
“In the 1970s and 1980s, Mercedes-Benz was a regular guest here in NardÃ3 and has achieved numerous international speed and track records, especially with the C111 as a visionary technology program. With this we demonstrated the performance of innovative drive solutions from diesel and gasoline engines at the time,” says Mercedes’ Chief Technology Officer Markus Schäfer. “With the Concept AMG GT XX technology program, a new dimension of performance, this time with all-electric drivetrain, is now starting. Now it is time to redefine the bar of the technically possible for the age of electric drives. So what could be more obvious than going on a record hunt again?”"
