The Giga Press program is a series of aluminium die casting machines manufactured for Tesla, initially by Idra Group in Italy. Idra presses were the largest high-pressure die casting machines in production as of 2020, with a clamping force of 55,000 to 61,000 kilonewtons (5,600 to 6,200 tf).

Idra Group (Idra S.r.l.; originally Idra Presse S.p.A.) is a manufacturer of die casting machinery, founded in 1946 in Brescia, Italy. [1] The company is notable for producing the largest high-pressure die casting machines in the world. [2]
Electrostatic machines are typically used in science classrooms to safely demonstrate electrical forces and high voltage phenomena. The elevated potential differences achieved have been also used for a variety of practical applications, such as operating X-ray tubes, particle accelerators, spectroscopy, medical applications, sterilization of food, and nuclear physics experiments.
The largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator in the world, built by Dr. Van de Graaff in the 1930s, is now displayed permanently at Boston's Museum of Science. With two conjoined 4.5 m (15 ft) aluminium spheres standing on columns 22 ft (6.7 m) tall, this generator can often obtain 2 MV (2 million volts ).
European scientists developed machines to generate static electricity decades earlier. In 1663, Otto von Guericke generated static electricity with a device that used a sphere of sulfur. [ 1 ] Francis Hauksbee developed a more advanced electrostatic generator around 1704 using a glass bulb that had a vacuum.
The Acco Super Bulldozer is the largest and most powerful tracked bulldozer ever made. [citation needed] It was built in Portogruaro in northern Italy by the Umberto Acco company. The Acco super bulldozer was constructed mainly of Caterpillar parts; however, many other components were specially adapted. The dozer blade, for example, is bigger ...
2005: Case made its 500,000th backhoe loader and in 2010 made its 250,000th skid steer loader. [8] [3] 2016: Case released the new G-Series wheel loader lineup consisting of seven new models from 521G thru 1121G. [9] 2017: In its 175th year in business, Case announced its facility in Wichita produced its 300,000th skid-steer loader. [10]
