We also strongly believe that our ability to offer aluminum building wire has helped to increase our copper building wire sales over the last 2 years. Over the trailing four quarters, our copper unit sales are up 13% over the previous four quarters. We believe that is due in some part to the fact we now also offer aluminum wire. We continue to believe that copper will be the conductor of choice in most building wire applications, but we will offer aluminum to those customers who want it. We will continue to canvass our independent manufacturer's representatives and our electrical distributor customers, to determine what products they are purchasing that may make sense for us to produce and sell.

Significantly more efficient copper extraction with hydrogen peroxide - 0 views
-
"The use of hydrogen peroxide can solve an old mining problem while significantly increasing the amount of copper extracted from the ore. Certain impurities such as iron sulfides (which include pyrite) have been difficult to remove until now. A new technology based on hydrogen peroxide now offers a solution. Using a small copper and gold mine in Australia as an example, Evonik developers have demonstrated that the technology works on an industrial scale and can increase the copper yield by roughly ten percent."

Note that these coils could also be perfectly made out of copper, combining all the advantages of the new design with the advantages with copper. For bigger motors beyond pedelecs, such designs have been or are currently being developed (Copper Alliance worked in 2005-2010 with automotive OEMs in this area).
