Podcasts about Hydrogen

Crrow777 joins Graham, Darren, and Rose for a wide-ranging conversation about solar observation, lunar oddities, UFO footage, and why he believes mainstream cosmology is built on bad assumptions. The discussion centers on what amateur observers can actually verify with their own equipment and why that matters more than official narratives. This episode is especially focused on the sun and moon as observable realities, with Crow walking through his telescope methods, his footage, and his broader view of consciousness, deception, and the coming era shift. https://www.crrow777radio.com/ https://linktr.ee/telescope https://linktr.ee/crrow777 Our old episode with Crrow777 https://grimerica.ca/2015/03/27/109/   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.

He explains his "second sun" capture from 2015, arguing it is not Venus or Mercury and saying a later observatory clip publicly referenced it as the "second sun." We discuss the Tycho model, with Crow defending Tycho Brahe as the gold standard of first-hand observation and criticizing later systems as refashioned, socially engineered versions of the data. He argues the sun is much closer than commonly claimed, that the moon is a luminary, and that the current scale of the solar system is intentionally exaggerated. Crow describes the lunar wave as a repeated, filmable phenomenon that later showed up in front of the moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and the sun, and says he now thinks of it as a firmament wave. He walks through his solar imaging process, including hydrogen alpha filtering, black-and-white capture for maximum data, and why color is added later. We discuss his belief that the sun is electromagnetic rather than a nuclear furnace, with prominences and sunspot motion appearing to behave like plasma and magnetic patterns. Crow says chemtrails scatter sunlight and may be part of a larger effort to block what he sees as a consciousness and spiritual "download" from the sun. He recounts being censored on video platforms after covering false flag events, saying that experience pushed him to host everything on his own server instead. He shares footage of UFO-like objects, including a glowing orb, a thruster-like craft, and a possible vortex or portal near the moon, while stressing he only trusts footage he personally shot. Rose joins to explain how she helps organize the material, transcribe episodes by hand, and point listeners to the relevant footage and playlists. Crow closes with a prediction that the next major shift in consciousness will become more obvious around 2030 to 2032, with more turbulence before then.   https://www.skool.com/audiobooks THE GRIMOIRE Audiobook Club and Library https://pegsandjokers.ca/ Family and Friends Cards and Pegs Boardgame online https://www.simulationmaps.com/#products Disaster Maps, Volcano Sim, Asteroid Sim, Shipwreck Map, UFO Map etc Support the show directly: https://open.spotify.com/show/2punSyd9Cw76ZtvHxMKenI?si=ImKxfMHgQZ-oshl499O4dQ&nd=1&dlsi=4c25fa9c78674de3 Watch or Listen on Spotify https://grimerica.ca/support-2/ Our Adultbrain Audiobook Podcast and Website: www.adultbrain.ca Check out our next trip/conference/meetup - Contact at the Cabin www.contactatthecabin.com Join the chat / hangout with a bunch of fellow Grimericans Https://t.me.grimerica grimerica.ca/chats   Discord Chats Darren's books www.acanadianshame.ca Sign up for our newsletter http://www.grimerica.ca/news InstaGRAM https://www.instagram.com/the_grimerica_show_podcast/ Purchase swag, with partial proceeds donated to the show www.grimerica.ca/swag ART - Napolean Duheme's site http://www.lostbreadcomic.com/ MUSIC Tru Northperception, Felix's Site sirfelix.bandcamp.com   Timestamps 00:00 - Reconnecting after 11 years and Crow's solar work since the last interview 00:58 - The first "second sun" capture and why he thinks it matters 02:01 - Vedic binary sun ideas and the claim that the object has its own electromagnetic field 03:31 - Why he says the object is not Mercury or Venus 06:28 - Hydrogen alpha imaging, sunrise and sunset conditions, and why the object is hard to see 08:55 - Tycho Brahe as the observational benchmark 11:57 - Why Crow thinks Tycho's work was later refashioned through Kepler and Copernicus 13:16 - Moon distance, the 400-to-1 eclipse claim, and why he rejects the standard story 14:14 - The observatory clip that labeled the object the "second sun" 16:04 - Space as planes, portaling, and why he does not buy the mainstream UFO narrative 18:44 - First-hand UFO footage versus AI-generated or staged material 20:48 - Why he distrusts most online footage unless he shot it himself 22:44 - The boomerang-shaped object crossing the moon 24:15 - Why his sun footage is filmed in frames and why motion has to be built from long captures 25:19 - Why he does not believe spacecraft have landed on the moon 26:15 - The moon as a luminary, hermetic enclosure ideas, and out-of-body observation in old texts 27:37 - The lunar anomaly lights and why they remain unexplained 28:12 - What the lunar wave looks like and why he thinks it is not unique to the moon 29:22 - The "liquid" space idea and wave distortion across the moon 30:30 - Leaving YouTube after censorship and moving to his own server 31:19 - The Mandalay Bay coverage, the deleted channel, and why he stopped publishing there 33:30 - Inverted sun images, filaments, prominences, and how his current setup changed the detail level 34:38 - Why he rejects the nuclear furnace model for the sun 37:16 - Sun gazing, eyesight, energy, and how he approaches it safely 39:05 - Sunspot stills, magnification, and hydrogen alpha filters 41:38 - Why he says amateurs, not institutions, are the best source for sky verification 45:05 - Liquid plasma motion, coronal mass ejections, and the frame-by-frame method 47:10 - Chemtrails, sunlight scattering, and his consciousness interpretation 48:38 - Sunlight, skin cancer, and his pushback against fear-based messaging 50:00 - Sun gazing practice, red-shift timing, and gradual adaptation 52:43 - Urine therapy, stem cell talk, and his current take on it 54:40 - Tycho, stationary Earth, and why he avoids turning it into a fight 56:18 - The plasma orb footage and why he thinks it behaves under its own control 57:27 - Ashton Forbes, orb theories, and his skepticism toward viral agenda-driven claims 60:24 - The three-thruster craft and why he believes it was falling 63:20 - The invisible vortex or portal near the moon 66:22 - Why his solar footage depends so much on seeing conditions 68:02 - How observing the sun changed his view of life and consciousness 69:03 - Saturn, Jupiter, and the wonder of seeing the planets through a scope 72:49 - Venus phase footage and why he thinks it resembles a moon 74:00 - Jupiter's moons, bands, and red spot as evidence against some flat Earth claims 75:27 - Why he thinks scale and map projections are used to shrink human importance 79:35 - Crow's 2030 to 2032 consciousness shift prediction 83:11 - The website, the film Shoot the Moon, and Rose's role in organizing everything 85:34 - Rose explains the social links, telescope footage, and how she helps listeners find material 87:50 - Closing thanks and reflections on how fast the last 11 years passed

Everyone's suddenly drinking hydrogen water. Is it hype, or is there actually science behind it?Andrea met Paul Barattiero more than ten years ago at a health show in Toronto, back when almost nobody was talking about hydrogen water. Now it's everywhere, and a practitioner friend of Andrea's has been sending her studies about it almost daily. So she invited Paul on to explain what molecular hydrogen actually is, why he says it's not the same thing as the hydrogen in H2O, and what happens in the body when you drink it.Paul's route into this was personal. His wife spent the first decade of their marriage with heavy, painful periods, adenomyosis and significant anemia, losing about a week of every month to her bed. On a cruise in 2005, friends handed her a jug of water they couldn't really explain, and something shifted. That sent Paul down a twenty-year path that inspired him to launch Echo Water.In this conversation they talk about gut health, oxidative stress and inflammation, why hydrogen might behave more like a signal than a supplement, how much to drink and when, and what the menopause-specific research does and doesn't say yet. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN- What molecular hydrogen (H2) is, and why "isn't hydrogen already in water" is the wrong question- Why your gut may be the reason you're not making hydrogen the way you used to- What oxidative stress and chronic inflammation actually mean- How much hydrogen water to drink a day, and why timing it around your workout may matter- What the menopause research covers so far, including bone density, sleep, blood sugar and heart healthCHAPTERS 3:10 Isn't Hydrogen Already in Water?

Siva Yellamraju is the co-founder and CEO of Fourier, a company building modular, on-site hydrogen systems for long-duration energy storage and distributed hydrogen production. Fourier's approach combines lithium-ion batteries for short-duration needs with hydrogen storage for longer durations, packaged into a single system designed to operate like a microgrid. In this episode of Inevitable, Yellamraju explains why hydrogen has long been considered promising for multi-day, seasonal, and even multi-year energy storage, but has struggled because of the cost and complexity of transporting it. He argues that producing hydrogen where it is needed can remove that transportation challenge and unlock a different cost curve for long-duration storage. The conversation explores Fourier's modular “hydrogen blade” architecture, its first storage deployment in Gujarat, India, and the growing demand for alternatives to diesel generators as data centers require increasingly large amounts of backup power. Yellamraju also discusses why levelized cost of storage matters more than round-trip efficiency, India's potential role in energy manufacturing, and his transition from software and data centers into building physical energy infrastructure. Note: Fourier is an MCJ portfolio company. Episode recorded on August 5, 2026 (Published on September 1, 2026).

Send us Fan MailThis investor didn't start in energy. He started as a real estate borrower, learned the mechanics of private lending from the inside, and then made a deliberate decision to become the lender. Today, his firm deploys capital into residential real estate loans and has quietly built a portfolio of strategic energy investments - including a hydrogen technology company that has earned recognition from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and produced a Fulbright Scholars Award-winning researcher.In this episode, he explains the principle that guides every pivot: only enter an investment when your existing resources, network, and experience create real mutual benefit - not just financial return. He also shares why he doesn't consider himself an angel investor despite operating in one of the most active startup markets in the country.Recorded at the Single Family Office Summit, hosted by Family Office Club - 19 years, 300+ events, 16 million registered members.

In this episode, a leading UK hydrogen industry advocate and clean-energy investor, Lord Jo Bamford, discusses the real-world bottlenecks facing hydrogen production, infrastructure and demand, how fuel-cell and combustion technologies compare for different applications, and what price points and policy shifts are needed to make hydrogen commercially competitive without government support. The conversation also covers a recent record-breaking hydrogen combustion speed run and what it signals about the technology's potential, plus the milestones that would mark a genuine UK hydrogen economy within five years. A must-listen for energy and transport professionals tracking hydrogen's shift from pilot projects to commercial scale.

Recorded at the SolarPower Summit in Brussels this conversation between Laurent Segalen and Jonathan Gifford examines why batteries have become one of the fastest growing and most strategically important technologies shaping the global energy transition. Jonathan Gifford is the co-founder of Climate Copy and a wonderful storyteller.  Laurent unpacks how rapid battery innovation is transforming electric mobility, renewable energy markets, charging infrastructure, and the future operation of electricity grids.  It has been only nine years since Hornsdale (Tesla – South Australia) 100MW-130MWh made of EV batteries cracked the code. Six months later in China the Jiangsu Zhenjiang first 100MW LFP battery was installed. In Europe and the US, the first large LFP batteries were installed in 2021-2022. Now, LFP has a 95% market share in BESS around the world. For EVs, it is 55% LFP – 45% NMC (80% in China).  By the end of 2026, we will reach 500GW globally and great forecasters like Jan Rosenow expect 1,000GW by 2030. We see longer duration and the advent of sodium batteries.  Laurent outlines why electrification is entering a new phase of acceleration. He highlights how falling battery costs, rapid improvements in electric vehicle technology, and the widening economic gap between electricity and fossil fuels are reshaping expectations across the transport sector. This shift is not limited to passenger cars; it increasingly extends to commercial fleets and heavy-duty trucking, where electric trucks are becoming more competitive thanks to lower operating costs, reduced maintenance needs, and improving charging infrastructure.  He also discusses the growing importance of stationary battery storage in enabling high-power EV charging, increasing grid flexibility, and supporting higher penetration of renewable energy.  Finally, he explained why Hydrogen will never work in long haul transportation. Simply too expensive.    

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ericka: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was wondering if the hydrogen tablets are just as good as the machine you use? I want to save for it, but until then, are the tablets just as good?      Michelle:  My son and daughter-in-law are 20 weeks pregnant with their first child and just found out their unborn baby has Cystic Fibrosis. They are extremely health conscious individuals with food, exercise, sauna, yoga and meditation and are curious how to begin navigating this new diagnosis from a functional medicine perspective once the baby is born while also working with their CF medical team. You've answered one question about CF several years ago stating to be cautious with mucus causing foods and be careful with food combining. Do you any other thoughts you feel would be helpful?      Maria: You're an amazing person. Keep sharing your knowledge.I couldn't find anything on ulcers. Do you have any treatment for them? Thanks again for all you do..       Donelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm currently finishing up IHP Level 1 and loving it so far! I have a specific question regarding a condition my husband has developed over the last year+. He has hemifacial spasms on one side of his face. It started with an eye twitch but spread down his cheek and toward his mouth over time. He had a head/neck MRI done. No issues noted. Currently, he is receiving botox injections in the area every 3-4 months as needed. He takes good supplements (fish oil, magnesium, DNS, berberine, etc.) but nothing helps to resolve this. Any advice you can share would be most appeciated! Thank you, Donelle       Denice: My son has been suffering with Pandas. Main symptom is OCD. Where do we begin?    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3852 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In a small, eight-week trial, participants who drank 1 liter of hydrogen-rich water daily showed higher GLP-1 levels than those drinking plain water Participants who consumed hydrogen-rich water experienced substantially larger reductions in food cravings than those who drank regular water, which may make it easier to resist unnecessary snacking The strongest improvements occurred in physical hunger-related cravings, which may reflect an effect on the body's appetite signals rather than simple appetite suppression, though the study did not test this mechanism directly Along with supporting appetite regulation, hydrogen-rich water improved subjective sleep quality and lowered both total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol without causing serious adverse effects Combining hydrogen-rich water with better gut health, adequate protein, easy-to-digest carbohydrates and the removal of seed oils may help create an environment where your body's natural appetite-control system can work more effectively

It's been nearly three years since the Biden Administration announced the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub or MACH2 was among a series of “hydrogen hubs” selected to receive substantial federal grants and jumpstart the hydrogen fuel industry. Delaware was to be a part of MACH2.This week, Delaware finally saw the first real move to get the ball rolling on hydrogen production here. Aternium — a Wilmington-based company — announced it plans to build a hydrogen production facility in Dover.But Aternium said it isn't relying on MACH2 to be successful.Contributor Jon Hurdle took a closer look at their plans in Dover and where things stand with MACH2. He chatted with Tom Byrne earlier this week about what he learned.

Host: Tom Angus, Director of Conferences, Decarb ConnectGuest: Clay Bedwell, Associate Director of Platform and Partnerships, 3DegreesFor years, ambitious corporate renewable energy goals were built on simple targets and Excel spreadsheets. Today, those programs have expanded into complex portfolios spanning physical PPAs, virtual PPAs, spot RECs, green tariffs, and behind-the-meter solar across multiple jurisdictions. What was once a straightforward procurement task has quietly turned into a persistent drain on internal time, budget, and risk capacity.In this episode, Clay Bedwell outlines why software automation alone cannot solve modern portfolio friction, why customer revenue protection is redefining how organizations buy energy, and how sustainability teams can build a compelling case for portfolio risk management to skeptical CFOs.Key TakeawaysWhy corporate renewable portfolios have outgrown traditional spreadsheets.As organizations accumulate multiple contract types and counterparty arrangements, manual reconciliation becomes unmanageable. Escalating demands from internal stakeholders (spanning P&L impact queries from finance, audit preparation from sustainability, and target reporting from leadership) mean manual data aggregation is no longer operational.Customer revenue protection as a new driver for renewable allocation.Corporate buyers are no longer procuring renewable energy solely to meet internal target metrics. Using an example from the metals sector, Clay illustrates how commercial customers increasingly demand specific, audited renewable allocations before purchasing products. Demonstrating compliance at the customer level has transformed procurement into a tool for safeguarding revenue.The critical pairing of software platforms with human trading expertise.While software excels at routine PPA hygiene (such as invoice validation, production tracking, and contract management) it falls short during non-standard edge cases. Managing complex counterparty events, such as developer insolvencies or contract restructuring, requires direct market relationships and real-world trading experience alongside digital tools.How to frame the business case for skeptical CFOs.Repeatable financial value rarely comes from chasing quick, one-off PPA savings. Instead, the core ROI lies in portfolio risk management: stress-testing downside scenarios, evaluating long-term contract strips, and providing financial leadership with the confidence to scale programs responsibly as standards evolve.Navigating policy shifts and future-proofing buying strategies.With upcoming changes to the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard and GHG Protocol Scope 2 guidance, corporate buyers must shift from short-term compliance mindsets to long-term strategic planning. Early adopters are moving away from bloated PPA exposure toward structured portfolio risk models and 24/7 carbon-free energy tracking.LinksConnect with Tom Angus on LinkedIn and discover how to engage with the Decarb Connect community.Connect with Clay Bedwell on LinkedIn.Learn more about 3Degrees Meridian.Sign up for the Decarb Connect Newsletter: Industrial EdgeLearn more about Industrial Connect Group's global events and membership network.

The latest episode of the Energy Horizons series on Greenberg Traurig's E2 Energy Law podcast is now live. Host Bill Garner, Global Co-Chair of GT's Energy and Natural Resources Practice, sits down with Tom Brill, an Energy Practice shareholder in GT's San Diego office, to discuss the shifting federal and state policy landscape for the U.S. hydrogen industry. Their conversation opens with an examination of the Inflation Reduction Act's foundational hydrogen incentives, including the Section 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit, as well as the Section 45Q carbon sequestration credit and provisions for direct pay and transferability. Tom then walks through how the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act altered the playing field, most notably by compressing the construction start deadline for the 45V credit from 2033 to 2028, while leaving the credit itself intact and expanding support for certain carbon sequestration, biofuel, and nuclear projects. They address the Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) rules and their supply chain implications, the funding cuts to select regional hydrogen hubs, and the growing importance of state-level incentives and mandates - including California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, cap-and-trade programs, and renewable portfolio standards - as counterweights to federal uncertainty. The episode closes with practical guidance for project developers and investors: move quickly to meet tightened federal deadlines, analyze both federal and state incentive stacks, identify high-value destination markets and end uses, and build projects designed to remain viable even as the policy landscape continues to evolve.

We return to discussing hydrogen fuel vehicles. A new one is hitting the market. We smoke the AJ Fernandez San Lotano with Knob Creek 12.

The world's leading aerospace company shows that successful innovation is not just about technical breakthroughs. Consumer demand, financial viability and a functioning ecosystem are crucial for an innovation to move from the drawing board to a commercially viable reality.That's according to INSEAD professors Manuel Sosa and Adrian Johnson, in their conversation with Harsh Shah, a leading expert on Hydrogen fuel in the aviation sector. In this INSEAD Knowledge podcast, they discussed Airbus's 2020 public commitment to bring the world's first hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft to market by 2035.  Despite making major strides in developing the technical innovations needed to achieve this aim, Airbus ultimately had to push back their deadline due to challenges beyond their control. Sosa explains that this case underlines the fact that any company introducing innovations needs to consider the desirability, feasibility and viability framework of innovation if it has any real chance of success.As Shah put it, they were faced with a classic chicken-and-egg scenario: Airlines wouldn't commit without infrastructure, and infrastructure wouldn't get built without demand. His proposed solution was greater government intervention and financial incentives that absorbed cost premiums in the early stages, similar to those in other sectors, such as wind energy.As Johnson concludes, pushing back a deadline shouldn't be seen as failure; it's what learning through experimentation actually looks like when the stakes, and the ambition, are this high.Read the related INSEAD Knowledge article and the two INSEAD Cases exploring the challenges faced by Airbus. 

WWJ auto analyst John McElroy says it isn't hard to get a gasoline engine to run on hydrogen, but there's one big problem--the cost of a gas tank.

This week, host Daniel Raimi brings Ishan Sharma on the podcast to discuss the beginnings of the geologic hydrogen industry. Sharma, director and founder of a fund at Renaissance Philanthropy that seeks to grow hydrogen into a competitive energy provider, draws upon the trajectories of sectors such as oil and gas—and newer additions, like geothermal energy—to argue that with enough investment, the abundant hydrogen gas trapped beneath the Earth's surface could be a major player in the energy game. As hydrogen is a natural output of common chemical reactions, such as the interaction of iron and water, there's no shortage of the resource; the issue is how to find it. While interest in geologic hydrogen is ramping up, the industry faces feasibility issues related to incomplete public information, lack of understanding about the subsurface world, and regulatory voids—however, Sharma believes this low-carbon source has a bright future.

This episode of People in Power features Danielle Hughes, a long-time resident of Lake Tahoe and CEO of Tahoe Spark (Supporting Permanent Affordable Residential Kilowatts). Tahoe Spark is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit regional energy and public policy organization focused on energy affordability, climate resilience, infrastructure transparency, and regulatory oversight in Liberty Utilities' California service territory. According to Hughes, Liberty residential utility customers lack a say in energy planning and procurement, a situation she says state energy regulators are allowing to happen. She also explores issues around the process by which Liberty is going about securing a new energy supply contract after its previous one was canceled by NV Energy.

Pete Johnson, Co-founder and CEO of Koloma, joins Inevitable to break down geologic hydrogen — naturally occurring hydrogen found deep underground — and why he believes it could be the first new primary energy source since nuclear power in the 1950s. Koloma has raised more than $400 million from Khosla Ventures, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Amazon's Climate Pledge Fund, Osaka Gas, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and holds roughly 20 million acres of exploration rights across the U.S. Midcontinent, the Philippines, Australia, and Canada. Pete explains why Koloma's first commercial target isn't power generation but ammonia and fertilizer production in the U.S. Midwest, where farmers pay a $150-per-ton premium on imported ammonia. He walks through the geology of where natural hydrogen forms, how Koloma's 25-year proprietary subsurface dataset shapes its exploration strategy, what it actually takes to prove a commercial-scale discovery, and how he separates genuine clean-hydrogen economics from tax-credit-driven projects.

I’m here with Matthew Stead, Yolanda Padron, and Rosemary Barnes is back this week.  Rosemary, you’ve been to a number of training courses over the last couple of weeks. The first off was GWO. What was your experience at GWO training?  Rosemary1: It was the fourth or maybe even fifth time that I’ve done it. Um, I did it a few times in Denmark and then, uh, this is the second time doing it in Australia. also, this was my first time doing first aid in Australia. Last time they did GWO here, but my first aid was still valid from Europe, so I, I didn’t redo it. And it’s like so much about [00:01:00] snakes and spiders and jellyfish But a good, good rule of thumb, not 100% accurate, but good rule of thumb, if it is something from the ocean that stung you, then you put something warm on it, and if it’s something from the land that stung or bit you, then something cold on it, Allen Hall 2025: well, how often do you usually take GWO training? Rosemary1: You gotta do it every two years to be valid. I don’t do it every two years because, um, if you do it every two years, like within two years, then you can do the refresher course. So that’s three days instead of four However, um, because I don’t climb constantly, like often it will be six months or more in between climbs, I’ll just do it before I know that I’ve got a climb. all the other people except for one were technicians who, you know, have been working for a while. So they’re also doing the full course, not the refresher. So they get a little bit more practice than I do. But, um, it’s just not often enough. Y-you know, like every time I go it’s like I, I really feel the need to have the refresher, um, because I’m just not fully on top of it. ‘Cause it’s [00:02:00] not just that you need to know what to do. You need to be able to… Like if you need to use it, you’re gonna be freaking out, you know? This is the worst thing that’s probably ever happened in your life, and now you’ve gotta remember all your training. It’s like you want it to be actually second nature to some extent. So yeah, first day is manual handling, which is v- you know, very– That one’s very easy and I would be happy to never do that again. Like I will always remember that. Um, then you got fire, um, fire safety awareness, and that one’s just fun ’cause you just get to, um, light fires and put stuff out then first aid, which I definitely always want a refresher on. The CPR dummies at this place, they had lights, um, and it lit up green if you were doing it right, and I haven’t used a dummy that was so advanced before, so that was quite good. I realized I wasn’t pressing hard enough. and then yeah, last two days is working at heights training, which is the most intense ’cause you got your harness on all day and, um, you know, climbing up and down and rescuing people. this was Rite Training in Goulburn, and, um, the [00:03:00] instructor’s name was Claire. highly recommend doing that one. Allen Hall 2025: Is that a general requirement in Australia that you have GWO before you can climb? Rosemary1: Like, yeah, they will sometimes, um, let you climb if you are babysat by people. I would not recommend other engineers, like if you’ve never climbed a wind turbine before, like I would really not recommend that you just go up with a team and haven’t done the training because you do need to be able to use a ladder safely and, um, you can, y- you can easily, like even inside the nacelle, you could easily hurt yourself really badly if you’re used to working in an office, uh, you’re upping your danger level by, you know, like many, many, many times by going up a turbine and it’s just something that you gotta take seriously. Allen Hall 2025: How busy are the courses in Australia? Are a lot of technicians trying to get in and get trained?  Rosemary1: No, it’s people that have a job that are getting trained. But there were heaps of techs in this course. There were maybe eight or so, which is also part of the reason why it took a really long time. Allen Hall 2025: So [00:04:00] this week, as we record, y- you’re presenting a blade repair course for engineers and technicians. a completely new area that you’re, uh, going into in terms of offering advice and expertise that it’s really hard to find on the planet. It’s probably a, a, a busy or, or requested course, I would imagine, in Australia, where you just don’t have access to a lot of the manufacturers. Rosemary2: it’s a, it’s a course for just for engineers or technical type people, um, but including hands-on stuff. So the way that I I forced this to come into being was just the last five years. I, um, you know, I started working a lot on wind turbine blade repairs and, um, people would ask me, you know, “Have these repairs been done right?” And the thing is that the only repairs that I had anything to do with when I was working at LM were weirdo ones, right? [00:05:00] Where the normal, like a technician couldn’t, couldn’t handle it. It was outside of, um, yeah, their, their standard, uh, kind of repairs that they can do for whatever reason. and now in the work that we do at Part Load, it’s primarily normal repairs, and I just didn’t know exactly what technicians know. You know, how do they, how do they know whether they can repair it or not? What do they know before they go up there? When are they calling the engineer? Um, all that sort of stuff, like the normal stuff. eventually it became less about me learning, ’cause like I said, I kind of picked up most of it. Um, but now I’ve got staff that I’m training up to be, uh, you know, composites engineers and to work with these kinds of issues. There’s a lot of repetitive tasks involved in what we do when we, like, assess the condition of a wind farm. A lot of what we do is look main- manually looking through photos and thing- if things are classified right or not. I [00:06:00] Found this guy from Direct Wind Services, Jurij Eska. He’s a blade engineer. He’s worked in Europe and then come back to Australia, so a little bit like me. And, um, I just worked with him on a few projects and I’m like, “Oh, okay. Well, this guy, uh, he really gets it.” And I asked him, “How do you, how do you train your technicians? What course do they do? Maybe I can do that course.” And he said, “Oh, we train them ourselves.” And so then I asked him to put this course together. So where we started off the course yesterday, that was, um, uh, an indoor session where I was talking through how are blades designed, uh, certified, tested, manufactured, um, what kinds of manufacturing defects can you see and what do they do about them in the factory? ‘Cause you know that they’re doing a lot of repairs in the factory already before you ever see a, a brand new blade. and then the next three days we’re going to be working on, um, yeah, grinding and [00:07:00] infusions and a bit of a, a bit of theory about, um, composite repairs.  Allen Hall 2025: What do you feel like are those key skill sets that engineers should know how to do, maybe not as well as a, a professional technician that does it a lot, but at least at a beginner’s level should be able to complete them before they start repairing blades on their own and giving advice about how to repair blades? What, what are those key items? Rosemary2: part of it is that I want them to be able to understand what is a bad damage and what’s not a bad damage cause you look a lot at images from the outside, but it’s really about what’s on the inside and how deep it goes is the real thing. So, um, it’ll be about learning, you know, developing some judgment about, um, how bad it can be and how bad it can look on the outside. We’re not gonna be looking at so many real damages ’cause like obviously we’re just dealing with pieces that are in the, um, in the, uh, workshop and Yuri has [00:08:00] made some samples for us, um, purposely made them badly so that we’ve got some, you know, damage to find. Allen Hall 2025: Are you addressing carbon fiber at all? Rosemary2: Uh, I actually haven’t asked about that. I don’t think so. Carbon fiber is, um, is a real pain to work with because it’s conductive. Like, even grinding it makes a bit of a hazardous work environment. We did talk a little bit about the different materials yesterday and, um, about pultrusions. And actually, it turns out Yuri used to work somewhere where they, uh, manufactured pultrusions, and I had always, I was always under the impression that a pultrusion is, you know, like, perfectly s- perfectly straight. That’s the point. And he’s like, “No way.” No way. There’s waviness in the pultrusions  Allen Hall 2025: And on March 3rd through 5th at WOMA 2027, Rosie, you’re gonna give part of this course as part of WOMA, right? Rosemary2: Little, little mini course. We’ll have to decide what, what makes sense to include, ’cause it was… Yeah, I went through really a, a fair [00:09:00]bit about blades yesterday, you know, like why they are shaped the way that they are. So we had to talk about aerodynamics and, um, why they’re made of composite. So we had to talk about, you know, like composite materials, like how, how they, how they work So I don’t know if, uh, people wanna write in comments that m- we should, we should do some sort of, um, poll beforehand to see what are the topics that are most interesting to people, ’cause I think we’ll have a half day, right? So we’ll need to be, we’ll need to be focused. Allen Hall 2025: the description of repairs and what repairs should look like could be tremendously valuable. Everybody who has seen a repair always wonders, “Was that repair done right?” And s- and if you can have some general tools to know, like, “Uh, maybe there’s something not quite right here,” or, “That looks like a solid repair,” that would be a tremendous help to the industry, p- particularly for asset managers Rosemary2: Yeah. And you know what I think is even more useful than being able to pick out when it’s wrong is to be able to know when it’s right. You can– Y-you know, like it is so– [00:10:00] It’s such a relief. Like it takes such a mental load off you when you’re just like, “Yeah, that’s all, that’s all good. That’s normal. Okay, I know that that– I knew that that would happen, so this is not a surprise.” ‘ know, once you know you can make that judgment, you can do it very quickly and focus your attention where it should be, so you don’t need to stress for an hour over every repair. You’re just like, “Yeah. Good, good, good, good, good.” And then, “Mm, please explain why you have chosen to not, not repair this, but just put a Band-Aid over it.” that’s the goal of this training is to get everybody, y-you know, technical people, not people who wanna ever be a blade repair technician. They’ve got their own training that covers what they need to know. But this one is just, yeah, getting people like asset managers or my employees to learn what they need to know about composites, given that they have already got a strong engineering education. So, um, you know, they know a lot of the stuff, but just need to know the composite-specific stuff and wind turbine blade-specific stuff I will run this course again, by the [00:11:00] way, ’cause there was a lot of people who wanted to do it I couldn’t fit in. So it’ll happen at least once. I’ll keep on running it until everybody that wants to do it has, has done it. But, um, yeah, feel free to get in touch  Allen Hall 2025: So if you wanna attend Rosie’s short blade course at WOMA 2027, just visit woma2027.com and register today ​ Allen Hall 2025: [00:12:00] Well, over in Canada, they just approved a, really a wind farm big enough to power a small city, and almost none of the electricity is going to the grid, which is a very interesting aspect to some of the things that are happening in Canada at the minute. So up in Nova Scotia, uh, they’ve conditionally approved the Ocean Lake Wind Project. This’d be the largest wind farm in the province’s history. Up to 158 turbines will rise, uh, generating as much as 1.2 gigawatts of power. But this power is not headed to households in Canada. Nearly all of it will be feeding Everwind Fuels’ green hydrogen and ammonia plant at Point Tupper, where clean electrons will become a fuel that can be shipped across the ocean to Europe. And Matthew, there’s been a lot of [00:13:00] projects like this in Europe that have stopped more recently, particularly in northern Europe and up in Scandinavia, uh, on the hydrogen side. Or at least they’ve slowed them down. Canada seems to be going into that breach maybe to fill that void. And is there a marketplace for this to occur up in Canada?  Matthew Stead: Yeah, I think it’s very interesting. Um, you know, like you say, a number of canceled projects, and in Australia there’s been numerous canceled projects. So I like, um, the analogy or use of the term hopium rather than hydrogen, um, where, um, everyone’s hoping hydrogen will be the answer. Um, although, you know, what I, what I’ve read and understood is that, um, you know, the commercials just don’t really stack up and, um, yeah. So in terms of South Australia anyway, um, there was some major, um, hydrogen, uh, development planned with, um, you know, it, it never stacked up. So, you know, it sounds like a great [00:14:00] idea, um, but I’m not sure that the commercials will ever stack up unless you’ve got that guaranteed offtake for the, for the ammonium Allen Hall 2025: Yolanda, what kind of uphill battle is this to get this wind farm up and running knowing that it’s one customer and that commercial market is a little shaky at the minute? Yolanda Padron: what we saw, they have a lot of ca- caveats, right? So they’ve, they need to secure the customers before they start building and before they do anything, um, behind the meter. But it’s, I mean, it’s, it’s a pretty big wind farm, and it’s pretty far up north. But I mean, we, we talked to someone in, in northern US today who was having icing issues. So I mean, of course we know Canada is no, no stranger to that, if they do make it work, I think it’d be really, really exciting to, to have sort of one technology power another, um, instead of just what we’ve been hearing a lot of the potential data centers and, and just wind po- [00:15:00] powering data centers. Matthew Stead: Why not data centers? You know, seriously, like you said, Yolanda. why not go something that does have commercial demand? Yolanda Padron: we’ve talked a lot about the potential of da- data centers, right? And we’ve talked a lot about people wanting to do them. Um, but there’s also a lot of talk of potentially doing data centers up in space and a lot of talk of maybe what if we do it offshore or, you know. And so I think there’s a lot of what ifs with data centers. Of course, there’s a lot of what if with this, but just from a technology standpoint, I think this is really intriguing to have something that’s, that’s a little bit even more out there than what we’ve heard so far Allen Hall 2025: Is it a build it and they will come type of s- situation here that hydrogen and ammonia may be the, the first offtake, but realistically, if that doesn’t work out, they can still connect to the grid and feed Canada, feed the Northeast of the United States or something else Matthew Stead: Also, um, like Japan has [00:16:00] also expressed strong demand for, um, ammonia, and so, you know, they- they’re on the East Coast, aren’t they? So, you know, shipping it from East Coast to Japan is not gonna be so, so easy. I stick by what I said before. It’s hopium. it’s not a plan Allen Hall 2025: I just saw an article today talking about Airbus continuing on with a hydrogen aircraft, and I think they were gonna work with a Japanese firm to work on that together. Six months ago I thought that died, but maybe it’s still in the offering. Maybe there’s an offtake for hydrogen. B- besides the, you know, replacement for some of the, uh, more unpleasant gases that are used in steel production and in some other industry things, maybe part of this is airplane fuel. Which ammonia is one of those offerings also, right? The, there’s been a number of efforts to turn ammonia fuel into essentially jet fuel. They configure the engines to burn ammonia, which is a possibility. It does seem remote though, [00:17:00] honestly. There doesn’t seem to be a huge pull for hydrogen, and there’s not a, a major market for ammonia at at least at the moment. So I don’t know. It, it’s… When you’re talking about gigawatts of capacity you’re gonna build, you, you hopefully have an offtake  for it  Yolanda Padron: if they designed it for it being not connected to the grid, right, it just is kind of like a behind the meter thing, and then could they later retrofit it into there? Like, how would all that permitting and everything  Allen Hall 2025: I–  well, that’s a great question. I– There are a number of, uh, connections between the United States and Canada at the moment. guess is that when they place this wind farm, they have that alternate route lined up, just like any wind farm in here in the States, that you’ll find them real close to high-voltage transmission lines. Generally, those are the easy ones because transmission lines cost money and take time for permitting. I’m not sure Canada has those kind of restrictions, right? But Nova Scotia is not the easiest place in the world to do heavy construction work, just the [00:18:00] nature of Nova Scotia. It will be fascinating to see how they progress with this, but it’s something to keep an eye on because a lot of other projects like this have slowed down Matthew Stead: Do you remember when some of the OEMs were talking about, um, putting electrolyzers on their offshore wind turbines? So the, the theory, the theory was you’ve got offshore wind turbine, you don’t connect it to the grid standalone, um, and you generate hydrogen or, uh, possibly ammonia on the actual wind turbine. And then every now and then you just decant it, you know, drive up with a boat, you know, plug in the hose, and then suck out the hydrogen or ammonia. So, um, yeah, once again, all of those have gone quiet, haven’t  they?  Allen Hall 2025: speaking of Japan, a global oil giant is walking away from the Japanese offshore wind project, uh, but the project’s not dying. BP has told its Japanese partners it intends to withdraw from a wind farm planned off Yamagata Prefecture, uh, apparently worried about [00:19:00] profitability. The 450-megawatt project sits, uh, just off the coast, and it is led by trading house Marubeni, which says it will press ahead without BP. Kansai Electric and Tokyo Gas remain on board also. So BP’s exit follows really a, a brutal year for Japan, where Mitsubishi has, and some others, have pulled out of, uh, at least three projects so far, uh, over rising construction costs, and I think a lot of that’s tied to inflation. Uh, the ambition’s still there for, uh, for a number of companies, but it’s just getting harder and harder to do projects in Japan. Is this just the nature of the economy in Japan at the moment, or is this more about Japanese policy on the offtake,  Matthew Stead: I, I’m not really deep into the details but, you know, it just appears to me like a blip. I mean, there, I think there’s a lot of commitment in Japan to, you know, carry [00:20:00] out their offshore developments and I, I think this is probably more just a blip, um, and a little, you know, internal corporate, you know, argument rather than a sustained issue on offtake agreements and so forth Allen Hall 2025: Well, Yolanda, how hard is it to keep partners on a wind development in general? Are there a lot of moving pieces there until the turbines hit the water or hit the  earth?  there’s  Yolanda Padron: I think a lot of moving pieces, but not, uh, I haven’t seen a lot of changes once it’s been publicly announced and everything’s, you know, everything’s been signed and everything. Um, I do think this is really interesting. I know we’ve talked a lot about, about having, about the idea of like sometimes people think wind’s really expensive, and the way that we’re gonna make wind work is just making it cheaper for everybody and just optimizing it as much as possible, um, and, and just being, having the turbines be as resilient as possible, right? And I think such a strong player just backing out maybe [00:21:00] will incentivize some of the people in Japan to sort of try to see how they can optimize it a little bit more. I’m really excited to see it. I don’t know. It’d be… I think it’d be a nice it  Allen Hall 2025: Isn’t the bonus to offshore wind the price stability? Although the price may be higher today than you may be happy to pay, the stability of that price is a huge leverage point when you compare it to things like oil and gas or natural gas, um, in particular, which are highly volatile, that for electricity, at least you have this fairly steady source at a fixed price that you can plan out 10 years, 20 years, 25 years, maybe even 30 years. And as batteries become more prevalent on the grid, that the math even gets better over the years. Isn’t that the bonus? And, and if [00:22:00] everybody can focus on the long-term effects to the economy is where all the action will be? Matthew Stead: Yeah, I mean, when I first, um, started looking into wind, you know, 10 plus years ago, I, I won- wondered why. Why would you build offshore with all that expense? And then, you know, it became clear to me just around the, um, you know, the diversity, you know, the, the fact that you might get more wind at times that you don’t get onshore wind, and the fact that it’s more consistent. Um, yeah, and, you know, so those… I- it’s really a trade-off, isn’t it? Between the capital costs and the, um, more reliable, more consistent, um, offshore wind. So I think, you know, I, I was convinced at the start, I thought it was crazy, but then obviously it’s, it’s a, it’s a… it makes sense Yolanda Padron: Yeah, I agree. And I think, uh, depending on where you’re having your offshore wind farm, you run into things that you maybe haven’t run into before, right? I know onshore we run into a lot of things in the [00:23:00]US and Australia that we, you know, the, the turbines just maybe weren’t designed for, or there wasn’t a lot of research being done because it was being done in Europe and, and the conditions are really different. Um, and just the same way, you know, the sea is different in different places. There’s different depths. There are diff- different things that you need to worry about. but yeah, I, I completely agree that there’s a lot more generation, um, offshore. It’s, it’s bigger turbines. Um, there can be bigger, larger costs. You know, if you need to do a blade replacement or something, it, it can get, again, really expensive really quickly. But, but it’s, it’s a trade-off for sure. Allen Hall 2025: We’re gonna take a quick break, but when we come back, we wanna talk about a place where wind is being fought over versus projects slowing down ​ [00:24:00] over in the UK, there’s a big fight about offshore wind, and not just about where wind turbines will be planted, but more about how they will affect other wind turbines. So RWE is defending the UK government’s approval of its three-gigawatt Dogger Bank South project, which won its consent order, uh, basically a month and a half ago. Uh, but the developers next door are taking that approval to court. Equinor, SSE, Vårgrön own the neighboring 3.6-gigawatt Dogger Bank wind farm, and they have filed for j-judicial review. Their argument is technical, but the price tag is not. They say wake effects, where one wind farm steals the wind from another due to turbulence, could cut their output and cost them between €500 million and [00:25:00] €669 million over the life of their project. That’s a lot of money, Matthew. A half a million euros is not something to ignore. It looks like this is headed to some judicial court or maybe arbitration. Wake effects, which are actually not that well understood from what I can tell at the moment, there’s a lot of discussion and argument about, uh, how real are they or, or what effect they can have on power output. Uh, there’s a lot of money at stake, and the location of some of these wind farms is pretty close to one  another  Matthew Stead: you know, we always, always talk about, you know, AEP loss and, you know, the, the challenge is actually measuring it. And, um, you know, I’ve heard different numbers, but, you know, plus or minus half a percent of AEP loss, um, appears to me from what– in discussions, you know, the, the limit of what you can actually ever measure on a good day. Um, I just wonder, I mean, while those numbers, you know, €500, um, [00:26:00] million is a, is a big number, um, but what is that as a percentage of the overall output of that, of that facility? Um, I, I don’t know the answer, but, you know, if, if it’s, you know, half a percent, I think you’d be struggling to, um, struggling to justify that, that wake effect loss. I mean, you know, going back to what you said, Allen, you know, there are wake effects of some sort, but it’s a question of how much. I mean, that-that’s why aircraft don’t take off, um, too closely, isn’t it? Because there’s wake effects. Um, so it’s definitely a given, definitely a given. Um, but, you know, how much of an impact it truly is. Um, and I mean, there’s always other variables, you know, variables in the weather, you know, wind patterns, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, and how much do this– does this actually compare to those other, other variables?  Allen Hall 2025: Yolanda, how would you even mitigate wake turbulence on an adjacent wind farm? Are there ways to do that today?  Yolanda Padron: I think the, the aerodynamics, Allen, would [00:27:00] be a lot more in your court than, than in mine. Matthew does have a really good point. I mean, what are we… With the UK wanting to ramp up offshore as much as they want to ramp up, right? They’re not going to just cancel a large project, and they need to… I mean, it’s not, uh, there’s a finite amount of space, right? So what, I mean, what, what are you, what are you gonna do? It’s like, it’s what, like, what happens in onshore where you, you really hope maybe that you don’t get a wind farm that’s really, really close by. Um, but you might also want to plan for it. I mean, I know of sites that have le- that lease a little bit of extra land so that way no one else can lease it, or that they can, they can use that to, to travel between turbines. Um, and it’s, I mean, it’s, it’s kind of… Isn’t it kind of just part of it, part of the trade? Allen Hall 2025: it has to be, right, at some point. [00:28:00] The question in my mind about all this is how much wake is there? Is it directly impacting the adjacent wind farm? Is there– are there things that can be done to minimize that wake turbulence? I think the answer is yes, but as wind turbine blade designers, I haven’t seen the same level of wake reduction that we have seen more recently in aerospace. It’s complicated to do some of these things on a wind turbine blade. You’re mass-producing. You’re making a blade a day or a blade in a day-and-a-half timeframe. Are you gonna design this really aerodynamic tip to go on to reduce the wake on a particular wind farm? Probably not, right? So it’s, it’s– is it worth doing that versus the, the cost it would be? So it’s gonna cost 500 million euros in loss to an adjacent wind farm. Do you put that 500 million into the design effort and the molds and [00:29:00]everything else to make these blades different? Uh, it’s a tight trade-off, right? It– from the engineering side. It may be better settled in the courts, honestly. Just it may be cheaper to do it that way. Matthew Stead: Uh, I, I was gonna go down a different avenue. I mean, obviously there’s always curtailment. There’s always curtailment due to grid congestion, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, maintenance. I mean, if they, if they just– when wind is coming from a certain direction, they could just de-rate and, uh, just not absorb as much energy, um, out of the wind when the wind is coming from that sector. And so that would be a way of, um, not modifying the turbine, just de-rating it under a certain wind condition. I mean, the same thing occurs with noise curtailment all the time. Um, so there’s, there’s noise modes. There could be a, a wake loss mode. We should trademark that Allen Hall 2025: Well, you know who’s gonna make money out of this no matter what? The  lawyers.  ​ Allen Hall 2025: [00:30:00] Well, in this quarter’s PES Wind magazine, there are a number of great articles, and you can download the entire magazine and all those great articles at peswind.com. There’s a nice little article from Enerpac Tool Group, and if you’re not familiar with them, they make a, a number of tools that are handy in the wind industry. Uh, and, you know, routine torque checks is kind of a pain, right? And the problem with a lot of those checks is that you have to haul around a heavy hydraulic pump to do it. And so if you’ve ever been to a trade show and seen some of these [00:31:00] pumps, it is a pain. And if you h- have to move around, especially on a w- wind site a lot, you really don’t wanna have a heavy pump that maybe is made for something, uh, more robust. Uh, and you need something that’s portable. That’s what you really need, right? So the Enerpac Tool Group has really created this, uh, LU series they call. Which is a lightweight, portable, hydraulic pump, which is for intermittent work, which is what happens on most wind sites. It’s intermittent. Uh, so the product line director, Angie Wallace, uh, talks about this and says technician feedback has shaped this new tool, uh, from multiple carrying handles and an upward-facing gauge. And that is a big thumbs up from me. When you put the gauge on the side of the tool where you can’t see it, such a problem. It’s like they’ve never used it. Well, obviously, the Enerpac has been talking to technicians, and they put the gauge where the technician can actually see it. Uh, and it’s designed to go through towers and, and tight [00:32:00] spaces. Uh, so this is made specifically for offshore conditions. It’s ruggedized, and it’s a great tool. And a lot of times, Matthew, when you s- see the technicians about and some of the tools they carry, you’re like, man, that is not a good tool for this. That is, that is too much to be hauling around, particularly uptower. It’s nice that we can see some tools that are designed job Matthew Stead: I, I’m completely convinced. I, I don’t have much to say. Um, I mean, my, my day job is, um, you know, designing products and working out what products we’re going to, to work on, and, you know, the customer is the main voice you should listen to, um, at least in the first step. So always listen to the customer first, and I think from what you’ve described, customer first, and then develop the product to suit the application. Yeah, so yeah, I’m convinced  Allen Hall 2025: Yolanda, you’ve seen Interpack on sites, haven’t you? It does seem like I run across them once in a while at some of the US sites  Yolanda Padron: Every once [00:33:00] in a while. I do gotta say I love the idea of when, like, actual, like, boots on the ground people’s feedback is taken into consideration for, for anything really. And so this is, this just makes me really happy because I think a lot of times, like, as engineers, like, we love the idea of just, oh, I’m gonna do this really cool fancy thing, and then it’s just it- no one can use it, or a very specialized person has to be able to use it. And so actually doing, you know, modifying a product so that it, it makes sense for the people using it, and I know we’ve, we’ve all talked about it a lot internally and, and we continue to work towards making it easier and easier on, on the people actually installing the product. Like, this is, this is really exciting. Allen Hall 2025: So if you need a lightweight pump for tightening some bolts uptower, particularly if you’re offshore, take a look at this Enerpac line of LU lightweight series tools. It’s well worth it. And at that same time, you should check out PES Wind magazine. Just go to [00:34:00] peswind.com That wraps up another episode of the Uptime Wind Energy podcast.

Shannon Miller is Co-founder and President of Mainspring Energy, a company developing a new category of power generation technology called the linear generator. Mainspring's systems generate electricity through a low-temperature, flameless chemical reaction that converts fuel directly into electrical power. Shannon has been at this for about 15 years. She started the company on technology she developed while earning her PhD in mechanical engineering at Stanford, and took it from a lab experiment through commercial deployment to hundreds of megawatts in development and running in the field. Mainspring closed a $258 million Series F in 2025, led by General Catalyst and has raised more than $800 million to date. In this episode of Inevitable, Shannon explains how Mainspring's technology differs from traditional gas turbines and fuel cells, why modular and fuel-flexible generation is becoming increasingly valuable, and how the growth of data centers is reshaping energy infrastructure. The conversation explores the urgent demand for faster power deployment, the advantages of dispatchable generation, the role of hydrogen and other future fuels, and why flexibility may become one of the most important characteristics of the future electric grid.  Episode recorded on June 2, 2026 (Published on July 7, 2026).  In this episode, we cover:  (0:00) An overview of Mainspring Energy  (1:47) What a linear generator is and how it differs from traditional ones (3:57) Behind-the-meter power and the race for faster time-to-power  (5:47) How Mainspring converts fuel into electricity  (8:18) The benefits of modular power generation  (10:34) Comparing linear generators to fuel cells  (12:32) Where Mainspring fits into modern data center energy stacks  (13:48) Transitioning from prime power to dispatchable grid support  (14:42) Why fuel flexibility matters  (15:27) Use cases for propane and hydrogen switching  (18:57) The economics of power generation and cost competitiveness  (20:44) Scaling from laboratory technology to commercial deployment  (22:49) How utilities evaluate new generation technologies  (25:00) Shannon's vision for the future power mix Enjoyed this episode?

On this week's episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with Paul Barattiero, ND, founder of Echo Water, for a fascinating conversation about molecular hydrogen, gut health, inflammation, recovery, and the future of hydration.Most people hear the phrase “hydrogen water” and wonder the obvious question:Is this real science — or just expensive water with a fancy name?Paul takes that question head-on, explaining what molecular hydrogen is, how hydrogen gas differs from the hydrogen already bonded inside H₂O, and why he believes hydrogen-rich water may play an important role in how the body manages oxidation and inflammation.  The conversation dives into:What hydrogen water actually isWhy Paul believes the colon functions as a “hydrogen ecosystem”The connection between gut bacteria, inflammation, and oxidative stressWhy so many people may struggle with gut dysfunctionHow hydrogen water may support energy, recovery, sleep, and overall resilienceWhy athletes and older adults may be especially interested in this technologyThe difference between hydrogen water, alkaline water, filtered water, and standard bottled waterHow Echo Water systems are designed for home, travel, and daily usePaul also discusses the relationship between gut health and the body's ability to produce hydrogen naturally, why he believes modern food, chemicals, antibiotics, pesticides, and environmental exposures have disrupted that process, and how molecular hydrogen may help support the body's natural systems.  For athletes, Paul points to research and real-world use around fatigue, recovery, inflammation, and performance. For older listeners, the discussion expands into joint health, energy, hydration, mitochondrial function, and what happens when chronic inflammation becomes part of everyday life.This episode is part science lesson, part health conversation, and part challenge to rethink something most people take for granted every day:What if water isn't just about hydration?Support the show

This episode has a fun personal twist: There's a counterfactual world where I was employee #1 at Genesis Molecular AI, the company behind today's episode. A certain introduction happened a few weeks too late and I had already happily signed at Atomwise, another ML-for-drug-discovery startup. Same problem, different company. I was certain ML was going to transform small molecule drug discovery. Early results were underwhelming. Useful at times, but nowhere near revolutionary. In the last year I've seen signs that ML is finally ready to deliver on my convictions from a decade ago. Genesis is one of the places that might have finally cracked this problem. I was super excited to come full circle and catch up with co-founder Evan Feinberg and CTO Sergey Edunov.If you are at all interested in small molecule drug discovery, we think you will find this fascinating!In our nearly two hour chat we cover:* What is small molecule drug discovery, and why is it hard* Structure prediction as a hotbed of innovation in AI algorithms* How advances in AI elsewhere have enabled stepwise improvements in predictive power* How the community benchmarks are essentially calling AI slop good enough* The Genesis flagship model (PEARL) can routinely hit a threshold that is necessary for real-world applications* New agentic workflows enabled by these highly accurate modelsRead on for more, and also some personal thoughts on the future at the end.The coolest diffusion research is happening at GenesisSergey Edunov came to Genesis from Meta where he led Llama 2 training and Llama 3 pretraining. Sergey was a former physicist who thought he was done with physics after many years of training LLMs. Then, he discovered Genesis, and was blown away with all the novel architecture work they've been developing.It probably surprises no one that modern LLM research has not resulted in fundamentally novel or exciting updates in architectures since almost the advent of the transformer — the entire field is using variants on the same idea that came out in the original “Attention is all you need” paper. Sure, some were quite useful (mixture-of-experts in particular allowed for the massive model paradigm we're at today), but there was very little conceptually exciting.“We sort of had to wait for the right primitive to get created, and that turned out to be diffusion… Actually, some of the most innovative diffusion research that's happening in our field is happening in 3D structure prediction right now.” — Evan FeinbergThe field of 3D structure prediction on the other hand has been a hotbed of research. Genesis' recent model PEARL (Place Every Atom at the Right Location) is able to understand protein flexibility, and model not just where the ligand goes, but also make small adjustments of the protein so that the two fit better than either alone. The field knew this was missing for a long time, but it was really hard to model until now.Agentic DiscoveryWhat makes this problem so hard? As Sergey points out, there are 10^60 possible drug-like small molecules. You'll never be able to search them all, and trying to find the good ones is something like finding a needle in a haystack — except everything except your needle is dangerous.“There are 10 to the 60 drug-like small molecules in the universe… it's like finding a needle in a haystack, where everything except your needle is very, very dangerous.” — Sergey Edunov“Or finding hay in a needle stack might be a more apt analogy.” — Evan FeinbergTrying to solve the multi-parameter optimization problem is even worse. What makes a strong binder and a molecule with good “ADMET Properties” are oftentimes at tension with each other. For example, a good binder is likely greasy, but a greasy molecule is likely insoluble so it won't enter the bloodstream and get to where it needs to go!Genesis' advances in generative AI have now pushed them beyond the threshold where they believe agentic drug discovery loops are finally possible. We all remember the early days of LLMs. They were great chatbots but terrible agents, as small errors compounded rapidly into uselessness. As LLMs got better, the usefulness of agents rapidly improved. Evan and Sergey argue that their models at Genesis recently passed a similar threshold. Their internal agentic drug-discovery system (code named SAPPHIRE) can now iterate like a chemist: look at and reason about poses, form hypotheses, read literature, use internal tools, create candidates for the next iteration. Combining this with automated lab partnerships like the one Genesis has with Incyte, we're rapidly approaching a time of drug discovery agents running 24/7 making/testing new molecules. Exciting times!Benchmark crisis: Everyone's favorite benchmark is slopOne surprising point that isn't talked enough about: the academic field of “co-folding” has settled on a benchmark value of “2 Angstrom RMSD” as a metric for a “good pose”. Evan does not mince words: this threshold is just bad. Perhaps even deceptively bad. For many strong binders, there's a very clear pose, one that you can even directly resolve in the PDB electron density! And yet, with a 2Å RMSD threshold, you can get the pose quite wrong in ways that might even mislead a medicinal chemist. For example, flip around an aromatic ring, and everything looks reasonable, but you're no longer modeling the right interactions.Evan makes the strong claim that 1Å RMSD is really the threshold necessary to ensure the core of the molecule is sitting where it needs to be, and models all interactions.“If your model is sitting at 1.8, 1.9 Angstrom RMSD, that's slop, most likely.” — Evan FeinbergAs a simple example, he points out hydrogen bonds which are responsible for many of the most important interactions in protein-ligand systems. Hydrogen bonds only have a 0.6Å range to be valid! Clearly if you're accurately resolving all H-bonds, you generally have to be doing much better than the 2Å threshold.This is clearly a hard-fought lesson for Evan and Genesis. In their opinion, the community is stuck on these benchmarks because academics developing methods were not users. Evan does see signs of life, with the use of new metrics such as lDDT for co-folding. Hopefully soon the community can agree that “1.8Å RMSD is slop”, and start hill climbing on this much harder task.For a more thorough exploration of the weaknesses in conventional benchmarks, see the PEARL technical report.PEARL tops OpenBindWhich makes what happened next all the more striking. Near the end of the podcast, we talked about a recent “proof-is-in-the-pudding” moment for Genesis — evaluating their PEARL model on a recently released OpenBind benchmark. This benchmark featured 802 never before seen co-complexes on a target protein EV-A71. This target seems almost custom-chosen to give most classical docking methods a problem. When a ligand binds to the main binding site, the protein moves around to close off the path the ligand used to enter the binding pocket. This process, known as “induced fit” is notoriously hard for traditional methods to model. The tradeoff is easy to understand: treating the protein as a static structure, it becomes difficult to place a ligand in a binding pocket. Treat the protein as dynamic, and now you have to simulate complicated processes that take a long time to resolve.PEARL was able to model the induced fit of the ligand without running long MD simulations. Across the different evaluation metrics, PEARL came out not just ahead, but oftentimes well ahead of any public model. A truly impressive result.“Where PEARL was exceptionally good is figuring out how to move this loop. We are basically correct for every single pose.” — Sergey EdunovEven more exciting, this was done without any fine-tuning, or using any data on the target or homologous targets — the template PDB was released after PEARL's training cutoff.Where does co-folding go now?As someone who has followed or participated in ML techniques for protein-ligand interactions for almost a decade, I was genuinely impressed with the results that Genesis has released recently. This has been many years in development, and I'm sure Evan and the team had many sleepless nights trying to get to this point. I also think other teams are making similar progress — both Isomorphic and Deep Origin have released results that seem spiritually similar and combine computation, wetlab data, ML, to achieve genuine predictive power that seemed impossible a decade ago. Sadly, all of the above are closed source so there's no way to honestly compare them. Looking at the results I think there might be a time in the not so distant future where we can consider protein-ligand binding “solved”.I sincerely hope that the academic community can take inspiration from these developments. Once you know something can be done, it's much easier to execute. Still, I believe that the key enabler in all of the above was the tight integration of ML, large-scale computation, and real-world drug discovery applications. Sadly academia is just not structured in a way that makes such a development easy.With those parting thoughts, we hope you give the podcast a listen! This is a public episode.

Don't miss the free live hydrogen workshop with Kashif. Save your seat at https://midlifeconversations.com/hydrogen  What if every biohack you've tried has been missing the one piece that actually makes it work? Red light, peptides, cold plunges, NAD, wellness IVs. You've tried some of them. Some worked. Some didn't. And here's the maddening part: your friend is thriving on the same protocol that made you feel worse. That's not random, and you're not broken. There's a reason, and it's rooted in your unique biology in ways most practitioners never explain. In this episode, I sit down with Kashif Khan, founder of The DNA Company and someone I genuinely call my health guru. Kashif healed himself from a cascade of chronic conditions including eczema so severe his eye was sealed shut, psoriasis, gut issues, migraines, and depression, all by going deep into functional genomics rather than accepting diagnoses and prescriptions. He now runs what may be the largest functional medicine clinic in the country by volume, working with the most complex cases imaginable. We cover what red light actually does inside your mitochondria and how you can completely overdo it, the real reason peptides cause side effects when used without proper sequencing, why 89% of your cholesterol score has nothing to do with food, and the one molecule Kashif keeps coming back to no matter who the patient is. We also go deep on why hydrogen tablets and bottles are not doing what you think they're doing and what the research actually shows it takes to move the needle. This is one of those conversations that makes you rethink everything. Listen all the way through. WE GO DEEP ON:  Why the same biohack transforms your friend but wrecks you What red light really does inside your cells and how to overdo it Why peptide order matters more than peptide choice Why 89% of your cholesterol score has nothing to do with food Why hydrogen has peer-reviewed studies on every chronic disease Hydrogen tablets vs. breathing: a tablet equals about 20 seconds How to rebuild the 70% of mitochondria you've lost since your 50s Cold plunges, saunas, PEMF, and wellness IVs: what's worth it and what isn't   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Kashif Khan Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/kashkhanofficial  Website ➜ https://midlifeconversations.com/hydrogen    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

A recent study simulated the extreme temperatures and pressure of the Earth's interior by squeezing a sample between diamonds and heating it with a laser. In those simulations, researchers found that the Earth's core may contain vast amounts of hydrogen, locked away in alloys with iron and silicon. Planetary scientist Anat Shahar joins Host Ira Flatow to discuss what this tells us about how the planet formed, and where water on Earth may have come from.  Then, another kind of deep history: Paleontologist Arnaud Rebillard introduces Host Flora Lichtman to “regurgitalite”—fossilized vomit. Rebillard studied a sample of regurgitalite some 50 million years older than the dinosaurs. Guests:  Dr. Anat Shahar is a planetary scientist, and vice president for research at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C. Arnaud Rebillard is a PhD candidate in paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Berlin. Other episodes you may enjoy: Could Underground Hydrogen Reserves Put Clean Energy Within Reach?
