How It's Made: 43,000 Tons of Rare Earth Metals from the California Desert!

Every year, the United States mines over 43,000 tons of rare earth concentrate at a single desert facility – enough material to power more than 100,000 electric vehicles and equip hundreds of F-35 fighter jets! 🏜️ We'll show you how ordinary-looking rocks from the California desert are transformed into strategic metals for smartphones, jet engines, military lasers, and defense systems through crushing, flotation, and chemical separation. But here's what almost no one knows: just two pounds of cerium from this dust can become material for optical lenses in laser weapons systems, and every gram of neodymium extracted here is a piece of an engine that makes electric cars run without a drop of gasoline! _________________________________ COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER The Factory Secrets: How It's Made channel does not own all of the material in this video.
