Stronger than steel and lighter than aluminium, Galvorn offers transformative potential for green tech
Scientists have unveiled a material named Galvorn. A LinkedIn article reveals that it's more resilient than steel, lighter than aluminium and boasts copper-like conductivity. Houston's DexMat believes Galvorn could significantly reshape the green technology sector.
This material could replace costly copper, essential in electronics, says GreenBiz. The creators aim to supplant environmentally harmful materials, promoting cleaner air and green technology progress. GreenBiz discloses that Galvorn's development saw investments exceeding $20 million from entities such as U.S. Air Force research agencies, the Department of Energy, NASA, and other technological frontrunners. Experts believe that the climate impact of DexMat “is staggering."
The name and idea of Galvorn are drawn from J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". In Tolkien's universe, Elven Smith Eöl crafted a metal named galvorn, thin yet robust enough for armour. This inspired DexMat's product name.
Produced via a sophisticated technique of splitting hydrocarbons, Galvorn promises several benefits for consumers. It could contribute to lighter, swifter vehicles, featherweight wind turbine blades, and enhanced battery conductivity for improved renewable energy storage. Presently, it's utilised in de-icing aircraft wings.
It is reported that incorporating Galvorn fibers into concrete and other substances might bolster and extend the lifespan of structures. DexMat's ultimate goal is rendering copper redundant.
DexMat employs an eco-friendly production method using electricity, occasionally from renewable sources. Being carbon-based, Galvorn effectively sequesters the heat-retaining element, negating its contribution to global warming.
