Afganistán: one of the poorest countries on earth with the richest resources within

According to a joint study by The Pentagon and the United States Geological Survey, Afghanistan has an estimated US$1 trillion of untapped minerals.

It is estimated that forty million years ago the tectonic plates of India-Europe, Asia and Africa collided in a massive upheaval. This upheaval created the region of towering mountains that now includes Afghanistan. This diverse geological foundation has resulted in a significant mineral heritage with more than 1000 mineral occurrences recorded to date, including gold, copper, lithium, uranium, iron ore, cobalt, natural gas and oil. Afghanistan's resources could make it one of the richest mining regions in the world .

Afghanistan has large untapped energy and mineral resources, which have great potential to contribute to the country's economic development and growth. The major mineral resources include chromium, copper, gold, iron ore, lead and zinc, lithium, marble, precious and semiprecious stones, sulfur and talc among many other minerals. This potential includes the construction of the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline (gas pipeline) The energy resources consist of natural gas and petroleum, but the best of it , is their use in our industries nowadays. Let's see the best examples of their applications:

1.-Lithium Batteries 🔋: Lithium batteries have been around since the 1990s and have become the go-to choice for powering everything from mobile phones and laptops to pacemakers, power tools, life-saving medical equipment and personal mobility scooters.

One of the reasons lithium-ion battery technology has become so popular is that it can be deployed in various practical applications.

2-.Personal Digital Assistants, Smartphones, and laptops 🧑‍💻 :

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have become incredibly popular for smartphones, laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other portable electronic device.

3-.Watches: ⏰

Li-ion batteries used in watches are small. Despite their size, their 3 Volt capacity has a lifespan of as much as a decade in a low-drain watch.

The benefits of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are very familiar to anyone with a smartphone or one of the latest lightweight laptop computers. Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries are smaller in size and lighter.

4-.Personal Mobility 🚙 :

A rechargeable lithium-ion-powered personal mobility scooter can go a long way. The range can be as much as twelve miles.

One of the main benefits of using lithium-ion batteries is they are lightweight. Users can easily carry the battery indoors for recharging.

People with mobility issues have found new freedom thanks to rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. They can be used in a variety of ways to make lives easier. Millions of people around the world now depend on stairlifts, electric wheelchairs, and mobility scooters.

5-.Solar Energy Storage 🌞 :

Solar power is something the world is looking to rely on more and more. In the United States alone, it is predicted that solar will provide 20% of the country’s energy needs by the year 2050.

Lithium batteries are ideal for energy storage and can be used to store the excess power produced by solar panels. Let’s face it, even in the middle of the desert, there are days when the sun doesn’t shine. There are also going to be times when the solar equipment needs repairing. Using lithium-ion batteries for energy storage means there are no occasions when you find yourself left in the dark.

6-.Golf Carts and Trolleys 🏍 :

You can expect Li-ion battery systems to have a long cycle life of between 1,000 and 2,000 charging cycles. How long the battery lasts depends on how frequently you play golf and how often you charge the battery.

If you play golf twice a week, that’s 2 x 52 weeks = 104 charging cycles per year. This means you can expect a lithium-ion battery to last a minimum of ten years. Absolutely an advantage compared with other charging system

7-.Marine Vehicles 🚢 :

A marine battery is a specialized type of battery designed specifically for use in marine vehicles, such as boats, yachts, and other watercraft. For many reasons, combining water and electricity is a situation that can lead to various problems. Use lithium-ion batteries instead, and you can focus on having fun rather than worrying if your marine vehicle’s motor will start at the end of the day.

Lithium-ion marine batteries are dependable and capable of powering a small trolling motor or the electronics you find on a luxury yacht.

-.Leisure Activities and Vehicles:

Lithium batteries have proved to be very useful in leisure vehicles used in remote locations. They provide long-lasting, stable, and reliable power.

The life span of a lithium battery can be more than ten years. Leisure batteries can also provide power for long periods, and very little power is lost between uses.

8-.Medical Equipment 🩺 :

Thanks to the reduced weight, size, and power consumption of lithium-ion cells, medical device manufacturers have been able to design and develop more convenient and portable products. Thanks to lithium-ion technology, medical devices can now be much smaller and more ergonomic without compromising performance.

9-Human health & psichiatric applications 💊:

Lithium is likely a micronutrient necessary for maintaining health that needs to be consumed in the human diet on a regular basis. For most individuals, adequate lithium ( 0,2) intake is possible from a healthy diet that includes plenty of nuts, seeds, beans, vegetables and whole grains, but not everybody has the minimum levels of this important mineral within their bodies so to keep their mental health & balance.

Lithium is a mood stabilising medicine used to treat certain mental illnesses, such as:

A-.Mania: (feeling highly excited, overactive or distracted)hypomania (like mania, but less severe)

B-.Bipolar disorder, where your mood changes between feeling very high (mania) and very low (depression)

C-.Lithium can also be used to treat schizophrenia and some types of depression

10-.Industrial Applications 🏭 :.

Besides batteries, industrial applications include eyeglass lenses, prescription medicine, aircraft parts, and ceramics. Many prominent applications also call for lithium's use in magnesium, cobalt, copper, or aluminum alloys.

These are the never ending uses and applications just in case of Lithium. No mention nor further explanation needed in case of gas, petroleum or precious & semi precious stones.

Afganistán is full of mineral and natural resources needed for thousands of applications; even though for Artificial Intelligence which has a system of Data-drive systematic parameter identification with an electrochemical model for lithium-ion batteries

Their inclusion into our capitalist system will imply its arising from poverty to a wealthy development. But Afganistán is not the only example of our chaotic and irrational world governors to lead the economy : also South- America and Africa as so many other countries in the Middle East will easily improve their way of living just by being included into our global economic system: allowing them to be self- developed and reach their economic autonomy instead of pressing their citizens to emigrate to other countries as the only resource to survive with certain dignity

One of the best and more intelligent ways to become a rich country or a successful investor will be to focus on these countries with uncountable and undiscovered resources still without explore: it may also allow to reflote our collapsed economies due precisely to this lack of markets opened .

We have in our world uncountable examples of poor, undeveloped countries, paradoxically, the richests in all kind of row materials : precious or semi precious stones, minerals, as it happens in Africa, Petroleum, cereals as Happens in Siria or the Most desístable and exótic products used worldwide in the most common plates, those like : bananas, potatos , corn, coconut...and a neverending list of them.

Let the poorest be included into our economic system and verify the economic growth that this fact will imply for the global economy; not by giving them ailments or subventions, but by dignifying their existence from the roots of their own countries throughout development.

Be prosperous by allowing others to participate into the common prosperity
