Episode 56 - Energy pt4 - other generation methods
01/07/17 09:05
This week we cover some less well known energy generation methods: Geothermal, biomass, biofuel, flywheel, and space based solar panels.
Also, artificial intelligence in the operating room, and robo-snakes on Mars

Episode 55 - Energy pt 3: Sun, Wind, and Water
24/06/17 10:18
This week we examine the more well-known renewables of solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy technology.
Also, Chinese carbon sequestration and Chinese quantum entanglement.

Episode 54 - Energy pt2: Nuclear
17/06/17 09:15
This week I speak at length with Oregon State University PhD candidate Josh Fishler. We talk all things nuclear including new tech and why it's not the bogeyman. Believe it or not, it will be needed for a carbon neutral future, and for a journey to the stars. And we talk about perspective and context and how humans are bad at it.

This week we look at energy and power production. A snapshot of the past, present and future. How much do we use? Oil, coal, gas, solar, wind, nuclear. What's out there that is better?
Also, New instant charge battery, and Artificial Intelligence explains itself.
