First Cut with the New Prototype

Written By Nikolai Nordbotn

Big milestone: we’ve just completed the first successful test of our third Rockslice prototype — and it works.

We kicked things off with concrete, running the turbine at just 30% of max power. The goal? To test automated motion and cutting performance under load.

  • The blade spins at over 6000 RPM

  • We’re tracking stability and precision throughout

  • Every second of data helps us refine the design

The first cut ran smoothly, just as hoped. Now we’re looking at how the system handles real rock — and how far we can push the tech.

 

More testing ahead. So far: very promising.
