Brazil gains a new billionaire! After five years of legal dispute in Santa Catarina, the lawsuit opposing the five heirs of Eggon da Silva, one of the founders of WEG – a global reference in the manufacturing of turbines and electric motors, and Lucas Demathe da Silva, has been concluded. The information was disclosed by columnist Lauro Jardim from the newspaper O Globo.

Lucas, 28, was only recognized after the death of his father, businessman Eggon, which occurred in 2015.

The lawsuit came to an end in the jurisdiction of Jaraguá do Sul (SC) through a settlement in July of this year, where it was defined that the new heir would receive R$ 1 billion.

WEG Manufactures Motors and Inverters to Equip the Largest Seawater Desalination Plant on the Planet, Capable of Producing 600,000 m3 of Water Per Day and Supplying Approximately Three Million People

Increasingly, the international water market requires structure and innovation to meet global needs. WEG announced on April 26 that the largest seawater desalination plant in the world, Rabigh 3, was inaugurated on March 31 in Saudi Arabia, in which the Brazilian multinational participated as a supplier of motors and frequency inverters.

The plant, equipped with WEG motors and inverters, was honored and recognized by the Guinness World Records as the “largest reverse osmosis desalination installation in the world.” Watch the video below and get to know Rabigh 3, the largest seawater desalination plant on the planet:

In total, there are 69 electric motors and 50 medium-voltage frequency inverters supplied through companies in the sector, such as the consortium Abengoa, SIDEM, and Sepco III, the latter responsible for the engineering, supply, construction, and commissioning of the plant.

Rabigh 3 was built on the western coast of the Red Sea and has the capacity to produce 600,000 m3 of water per day and supply approximately three million people. It is also characterized as the most environmentally friendly plant in the world, due to its lower electricity consumption during daily operations and having recorded the lowest noise level.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

While SpaceX lands rockets as a routine, Spain wants to enter orbit with its own recoverable microlauncher; the Miura 5 emerged from a Spanish startup, gained a complex in Kourou, and aims to transform small satellites into a sovereign European market.

India tested the Agni-5 capable of carrying multiple independent warheads and, in the same round, conducted the first firing of a scramjet engine, joining a group that only the United States, Russia, and China were part of.

Canada is preparing a billion-dollar megaproject with 3.5 GW of wind energy, up to 530 turbines, green hydrogen, and ammonia for export, in a bid that could place the country at the center of the new global race for clean fuels.
