Rosemary interviews Ivar Knutsen, Senior VP of Technical and Supply Chain at Wind Catching Systems, to discuss their innovative floating offshore wind concept. Wind Catching's design features a grid of small wind turbines that benefit from the multirotor effect and enable easier installation and maintenance compared to traditional large offshore turbines. Wind Catching will also present at the Multi Rotor 2024 seminar June 12-13. You can find more information here: https://multirotor24.zohobackstage.eu/MR24.

I'm your host, Rosie Barnes, and I have today with me Ivar Knutsen who is the Senior Vice President for Technical and Supply Chain at Wind Catching. Thanks for joining us, Ivar. Ivar Knutsen: Thank you for inviting us, Rosie. Rosemary Barnes: Okay, so for those who don't know, I'm just gonna quickly start by summarizing what the concept of Wind Catching is. So basically it's a grid of wind turbines that is floating offshore. So you've got a whole lot of small wind turbine turbines arranged in the grid, and they're benefiting from being close to together with the multirotor effect, which we'll get into later. And obviously there's also, more modularity all the. Turbines are arranged in this grid so that they can all yaw at the same time to face a differing wind direction. And yeah I'll hand it over to you Eva to explain more about what the concept is and yeah, why you decided that this was a, an interesting company to get involved with. Ivar Knutsen: It has become apparent to us that there are fundamental differences Between a bottom fixed and a floating wind turbine and they those differences are so big that you might need to Take a second look at that, you need to maybe consider a completely new approach to the design, but also to the operation. So we find that multi rotors have three or four key benefits. One is that you're actually able to avoid. The infamous tow to port. If the turbines are sufficiently small, you can handle them offshore and perform a turbine replacement offshore without using a crane vessel. You just need to bring people aboard a unit as long as you have the right technology to, to do that. And as, as we see it, there are no options for. Return to port for big single rotor floaters today, there are many concepts out there, but we don't see any of them as being tackling the real problems is that it's going on in an offshore environment with a lot of motions. The other thing we also find very interesting about multirotors is that you decouple the turbine development from the sort of the development, both on the supply chain, but also on capacity. So if you can go from 20 to 30 to 40 megawatts without developing new turbines for every single step, that's interesting. If you can use the same turbine, But you can change your installed capacity by building on your support structure. That is a very interesting part of the multirotor concept. And the other thing is that with a standardized turbine, you can actually enable a much broader supply chain. You can enable local content in each country because the sophistication required to turbine is much lower. And the reason for that, this is that if you now look at the biggest turbines and the turbines expected to come later. With blade lengths of 120,
OverviewJohnathan Smeh has had quite the journey throughout his nine years in the commercial drone industry, but drones weren't initially on the radar when he was pursuing a career in geography, GIS, and manned aircraft. n this interview, Johnathan talks through first discovering the drone industry, its evolving technology, and how it's shaped both his current work and what he hopes to work on in the future (hint: it's out of this world!). He also discusses unique piloting stories from the field that required both creativity and ingenuity to ensure mission success.Today's GuestJohnathan Smeh is a Certified Photogrammetrist and GIS Specialist at Volatus Aerospace and a Certified Photogrammetrist with the Canadian Institute of Geomatics. Since starting in the commercial drone industry in 2013, Johnthan has built and sold two companies, High Eye Aerial Imaging, and Canadian UAV Solution, and has hundreds of flight hours on both Multirotor and Fixed Wing Aircraft. A skilled drone pilot, he is an expert at performing all aspects of UAV service, including pricing, flight planning, data collection, and processing.
The gentlemen close out the guest series for Season One with the one and only Eric AKA Konasty FPV. We sit back and listen to one of the greatest to ever do it in the hobby as a freestyle pilot, an innovator for the brand ETHiX he co-founded with Steele Davis, a professional production set pilot talk about a lot of what drives him to be an essential and valuable member of a team.

The gentlemen reunite this week, and revisit their Terms of Service series. ToS is a series where we look at the more technical, jargon-y side of the hobby. This week, we focus specifically on Tricks and Stunts with FPV drones. The guys share their hardest trick to learn, and discuss how tricks/stunts have evolved over the last few years in the hobby. We also discuss what the difference is between and trick and an aerial maneuver (like a roll). If you like FPV freestyle and tricks, this one's for you.

This week the guys meet up with Doug AKA iAreSquibz to talk shop. You know how we go and fly our little toy helicopters in the field and race around for fun? Yeah, Doug doesn't play with toys - he is an Apache attack helicopter pilot for the US Army. We are grateful for his service and also his ability to absolutely shred a freestyle FPV drone.

This week we talk to Detroit Joe aka Joe Engalan. He catches us up on what is going on in Detroit and what new frames he is working on. I think we convinced him to try a long range setup and we get his take on the MultiGP 6s setup and the upcoming race in India.
On this episode, Joe Engalan, founder and CEO of the Detroit Multirotor Company, drops by the Quad Talk Podcast studio to chat with us and tell his story of how he started a Miniquad Racing Frame company and named it after the "Motor City" itself, Detroit. What some of you may not realize is how long Joe has been around in the FPV hobby and all of the iconic drone racing events that he has attended. And keep listening, because at the end of the show, we are "bum-rushed" by Jeff Orta when he swings by Joe's shop to get some gear.

Trent Palmer of Copter Kids has been shooting aerials with UAVs for about 10 years; all the way back to the days when this kind of work was done on single rotors. Chances are, you’ve seen his work. He’s done aerials on music videos for Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, countless car commercials, and he’s worked on feature films including ‘Gangster Squad’, ‘The Nice Guys’, ‘Chasing Mavericks’, and others. In our interview, Trent talks about the world before multirotors and how flying drones has led to him overcoming a fear of flight.
Owner Joe Engalan talk about how he created the Detroit Multirotor Company. Race Engineered. Detroit Tough. Multirotor racing is all we do and we do it well. The Detroit Multirotor Company designs and builds the fastest and toughest FPV racing machines around. We don't just sketch out a pretty design. We engineer, analyze and refine to get the highest performing frames and components. If you're a serious FPV racer, talk to us. We've got the best FPV craft for you.
