In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, speak with Leo Kayali, CEO of Invo Station, about the pioneering world of electric flying vehicles (eVTOLs). Leo shares how his early sketches evolved into a patented design for a personal electric flying vehicle, inspired by none other than Leonardo da Vinci. We dive into the challenges of scaling production, environmental impacts, and the critical role of automation and autonomy. Leo also explains the regulatory landscape, aiming for a near-future where electric flying vehicles integrate seamlessly into urban spaces. You can find more about Leo's work on Invo Station's website and follow them on social media @invostation. Also, if you're around, Leo's team will showcase their tech at CES 2025 in Las Vegas.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:15 The Birth of a Flying Car Idea01:01 Prototyping and Early Development02:13 Design Inspirations and Challenges06:39 Battery Innovations and Future Prospects12:24 Mass Production and Automation26:26 Autonomy in Flying Vehicles32:23 Introduction to eVTOL Vehicles32:54 Autonomy and Safety Systems34:13 Regulatory Landscape and Industry Collaboration35:58 Upcoming Releases and Pre-Orders37:15 Future of Urban Air Mobility39:32 Global Market Potential42:40 Innovative Vehicle Designs52:04 Charging and Infrastructure52:36 Lessons from Historical Inventors58:38 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsThe Birth of Electric Flying Vehicles: Leo Kayali, CEO of Invo Station, explains his journey from sketching ideas in a coffee shop to prototyping his eVTOL concept. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's inventive spirit, he developed a design that draws on the artist's legacy of combining engineering with aesthetics. This approach led him to conceptualize a circular vehicle layout, which is optimized for lift and resembles Da Vinci's early designs. His design not only aims to innovate but to shape the future of personal and sustainable aerial transportation.The Benefits of Aerial Autonomy: Autonomy in flying vehicles is, as Leo describes, paradoxically easier to achieve than with ground vehicles due to the reduced number of obstacles. In the air, autonomy faces fewer unpredictable factors like pedestrians, stoplights, and multiple vehicle types. Instead, aerial autonomy focuses on collision avoidance, scanning airspace, and adapting to bird traffic, making fully autonomous air vehicles a viable and less complex solution compared to self-driving cars.Revolutionizing Mass Production for eVTOLs: One of Leo's core goals is to make eVTOLs affordable and mass-producible. Drawing on his experience with Tesla and Siemens, he designed Invo Station's production process for efficiency and scalability, so that vehicle production could be completed in just two minutes, thanks to advanced automation and robotics. This approach allows Invo Station to eventually sell flying vehicles at a consumer-friendly price, potentially putting eVTOLs within reach of the average car buyer.Environmental Impact and Emission Reduction: Invo Station's mission is not just about bringing flying cars to market but also about tackling urban pollution and reducing emissions. Leo envisions a future where flying electric vehicles replace traditional cars for shorter urban trips, significantly reducing air pollution and congestion. He is especially interested in targeting cities with heavy traffic and pollution issues, like São Paulo and Los Angeles, to create a real, measurable impact on urban sustainability.Regulatory Challenges and Industry Standardization: With new regulatory frameworks emerging after 80 years of stagnant aviation standards, Leo believes the current climate is favorable for eVTOL integration. Invo Station works closely with regulators, helping to set safety and operation standards for urban air mobility. Although the regulatory landscape is evolving, Leo's aim is to influence these standards to support a future where autonomous flying vehicles share airspace safely and efficiently with traditional aircraft and other eVTOLs.Battery Innovation and Energy Efficiency: A critical part of making eVTOLs practical is optimizing battery life and charge times.

Interview with Lee Barker, President & CEO of Sparton Resources Inc.Recording date: 30th September 2024Sparton Resources Inc. (TSXV:SRI) presents a unique investment opportunity in the junior resource sector, offering exposure to both critical minerals exploration and advanced energy storage technology. Led by industry veteran Lee Barker, the company leverages decades of experience in mineral discovery and development.At the core of Sparton's value proposition is its stake in VRB Energy, a developer of vanadium redox flow batteries. Recent developments in this investment could prove transformative. VRB Energy has formed a joint venture in China, with a major Chinese conglomerate taking a 51% stake. This partnership includes a $55 million investment and plans for two new battery manufacturing facilities in China. VRB Energy is also spinning out VRB USA, which will focus on developing battery manufacturing capabilities in the United States. This move addresses geopolitical concerns and opens up new market opportunities. There's potential for a liquidity event through a possible public listing of VRB USA, which could allow Sparton to monetize its investment.On the exploration front, Sparton maintains a diversified portfolio of projects.  A drilling program is set to begin soon, supported by government funding, on the Pense-Montreuil Critical Metals Project in Ontario, targeting copper, zinc, nickel, and cobalt. The Bruell Gold Property, a joint venture with Eldorado Gold. Negotiations are underway to potentially sell Sparton's remaining 25% stake or exchange it for other exploration assets. The Oakes Gold Property, located near producing mines, with five untested drill targets and potential for both gold and copper mineralization.Sparton employs several strategies to manage its cash position, including securing government grants, forming joint ventures with major mining companies, and generating revenue through its wholly-owned drilling subsidiary, EDCOR Drilling.The company is well-positioned to benefit from macro trends driving demand for critical minerals and energy storage solutions, including the electrification of transportation, integration of renewable energy, and global decarbonization efforts.However, investors should be aware of the risks inherent in junior mining stocks, including market volatility, exploration uncertainties, and financing challenges. The path from exploration to production is long and uncertain, and the energy storage space is highly competitive.Key catalysts to watch include:Updates on the VRB Energy joint venture and VRB USA spin-outResults from the upcoming drilling program at the Pense propertyOutcome of negotiations with Eldorado Gold regarding the Brébeuf propertySparton Resources trades at a market capitalization that may not fully reflect the potential value of its VRB Energy stake and exploration assets. As CEO Lee Barker notes, "We believe that over time there'll be some value recognized." For investors with a tolerance for risk and a long-term perspective, Sparton offers exposure to critical sectors of the new energy economy.View Sparton Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/sparton-resources-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Today we're blowing open a route towards energy security, reduced carbon footprint and saving money - all in the way we make, distribute and use power.  If each of us could minimise our own power use, we'd be a step on the way to reducing our overall carbon footprint: more, we'd be changing the ways we think of ourselves as separate from the web of life. This week's guest is long time friend of the podcast Howard Johns. Howard is an activist, author, and serial entrepreneur in the field of energy generation - of how we power our lives, keep the lights on and keep ourselves warm.  Howard is now CEO of OneZero energy, a team of energy experts and digital nerds with a shared passion for getting homes off fossil fuels.  One of the biggest climate actions anyone can take is to retrofit their home with four components: Solar panels, batteries, heat pumps and insulation The combination of these makes homes more comfortable, but more importantly, it saves significant amounts of money and massively reduces the carbon footprint - weaning us off fossil fuels.  Howard himself has founded and led an award winning solar business, a pioneering community-owned energy company, and written a guide book to help others to do the same. He's given a TED Talk, occupied a coal mine and campaigned on energy and climate issues from inside parliament and atop treehouses, and until recently ran a large fleet of solar projects across the EU and UK.One Zero https://www.onezero.energy/Howard's website: https://www.howardjohns.net/Howard's book: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/energy-revolution-your-guide-to-repowering-the-energy-system-howard-johns/706009AG Episode 89https://accidentalgods.life/power-to-the-people/Indenture Hemp Insulation https://www.indinature.co/Homely Heat Pump Controllers https://www.homelyenergy.com/Any Human Power (Manda's book) https://linktr.ee/anyhumanpower
