New Magnesium Metal Production Technology

The video discusses how reducing a car's weight by replacing steel and aluminum with magnesium can improve fuel efficiency. Although magnesium is costly, Infinium has developed a cost-effective, eco-friendly production method. This innovation, supported by the National Science Foundation, could revolutionize magnesium production and lead to a new generation of lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

How does the weight of a car affect its fuel consumption?
