BIOGENA use a beautiful tunnel to draw customers from the crazy outside world into the peace and tranquility of their wellness shop in Saltzburg Austria. Listen to how these lifestyle people talk tunnels - its just wonderful.

Join me Arnold Dix with Arik Glazer and Adi Alphandary as we explore their re-invention of underground burials in Jerusalem.  From ancient beliefs in the source of life being from the earth, to our inevitable return to earth after we die and decompose.

This is a fascinating and uplifting journey as they describe how they re-invented the underground for use as cemeteries, conducted religious pilgrimages to gain blessings and even the role of Gabriel - the light angel from Germany that designed the lighting.

It seems in death we are unified -and with at least 100 Billion  of our ancestors all ready dead  - and each of us just waiting for our turn - it  seems these modern underground cemeteries will play a role for many faiths in completing our life journeys. 

Dust to Dust indeed - I want to be buried and my body returned to the earth. 

Do you?

Are batteries safe underground? Are these underground construction machines fit for purpose? Hear directly from the technical director of NORMET about the differences between industrial battery vehicles and ecars.

Samu Kukkonen is passionate about the environment - and first dedicated his life to Technical Research on alternative energy systems, later specialising on battery research. He has led the technical development and implimentation of underground battery vehicles at Normet

When the CEO of DB is late to a meeting in Germany (because his train was late) something must be wrong. I seized the chance to talk with Dr Philipp Nagl about the rail crisis in Germany. 

Join us:

- the crisis of rail capacity in Germany – too much demand – network in crisis

- choosing tunnels as the low risk optioneering “boardroom” option – tunnel projects are lowest risk option when viewed from the boardroom 

-the energy efficiency and sustainability dimensions of passenger and freight railways,(orders of magnitude more efficient than other options)

-the robustness of railway engineering, (heavy engineering – lasts forever)

- the impact of the current demise of rail freight transport across Russia

- strategies Germany are adopting to deal with the current rail capacity shortfall crisis.

- the critical role of rail freight for energy delivery in the Russia – Ukraine war context

The Truth is out there!

Join me in a discussion with Carlos Crespo head of Robotics from Acciona. Learn how Robots are used to make the underground safer and improve efficiency in Chile Today.

Our team track the mountains, find and explore the ancient mines from which the structural rocks were carved to create the Eupalinos Tunnel and other Mega Projects from 2500 years ago. This exploration reflects increasing interest in mining technology and engineering in the ancient world of 2500 years ago.

Join Georgios Angistalis, Ioannis Fikiris, and Professors Jamal Rostami and Arnold Dix on this exploration of a rarely visited site of ancient mining.
