When Gali/Hyperchange said he had introduced Mark Frohnmayer to Sandy I rushed out and bought FUV @ $3.01. Unfortunately I didn’t sell @ $36.80. But I have made a few $$ and FUV is my second largest holding, behind TSLA. When Sandy says something I pay attention. Thanks again.

VTOL personal vehicles at around 34:00 marker. The biggest issue with those and especially when we talk about separation, are the forces of nature, namely the air drafts such as heat and wind. The air, unlike the pavement is never solid and if you've ever flown a small aircraft you'd know just how "bumpy" it is. No matter how comfortable you may become with constantly getting thrown about, there is an inherent risk of smashing into structures, particularly in the cities. Take one such as Manhattan or Hong Kong that are full of very tall buildings in very close proximity to each other, and you have massive amount of warm air swirling about. Now, combine that with natural weather patterns and you have a whole heap of challenges to worry about.

Thank you to Sandy Munro and Charged for this presentation. I had much of the basic information floating around in my head, but this put a laser focus on breaking the options down the best way. I specially was interested to find out, (for sure, though I suspected), that there is no ONE best solution for all needs. Cars, and other small vehicles NEED batteries. At the present time, this means Li-Ion. Larger vehicles can make use of hydrogen. Eventually, there may be a viable Solid State Battery available for general use, but to replace Li-Ion may take decades. Hooray for Sandy. He covered all bets while sounding knowledgeable. I'm kidding, of course, Sandy is THE BOSS when it comes to engineering.

46:00 You can make a casting with the crush characteristics you want, and you could make the alternative with desirable crushing as well. The question is how much it weighs. Nobody seems to be putting it in those terms. I think the castings will save substantial weight. It totally makes sense. There are no operations such as stamping, and stamping inevitably weakens a piece of metal to some extent.

Stamping can make metal stronger because of work hardening. Casting produces metal in its weakest form, lacking extra strength from work hardening or heat treatment.

Thanks for doing this. I have the greatest respect for Sandy Munro and his engineering knowledge. As another old guy, I know there's no substitute for having paid attention to everything around me all my life. It's worth remembering and respecting the enormous depth of Tesla from both a management and technology perspective. Elon Musk has built a company that is a magnet for the best talent in the world, and the ongoing result is that Tesla is the most competent and far-sighted company in the world in every aspect of physical transportation, energy production, energy transportation, energy storage, and AI. Every aspect? Invent, research, design, and develop; manufacturing systems; software control systems; user interfaces; user assist systems (FSD, for example). Tesla is now so far ahead in every area of its technology, every aspect is licensable. The scary aspect for every other organization is the Elon Musk corporate model. It's an entirely new model that disposes of the old power heirarchies that exist inside every other company (departments, management structure, etc). This new model gets much faster, better results which means that any old heirarchies can't catch up and will have no choice but to licence from Tesla.

@@markweatherill I must admit that's one possibility I hadn't thought of. It probably could be done. I'm not sure how much advantage that would provide. And one thing that may be a misconception is that it's easy to quickly refill a hydrogen tank. Filling a tank to thousands of bars might require quite a bit of compression energy, and take much longer than just pumping in liquid. One thing to keep your eye on might be the "power paste" I've heard of, which is a sort of hydride goo, consisting of tiny hydride particles. That would already have the hydrogen pre-compressed, and could be pumped in quickly, and you could get the gas out as you drive.

This is perhaps outrageous, but if metal hydrogen (solid at room temp) can be produced with advanced nuclear energy and a method to infinitesimally use small amounts of it, that would blow everything here away. Also, if liquid hydrogen is part of the solution, why can’t liquid oxygen be also. Reason for propelling with precise blending of these two, is that the result is truly water, versus nitrous oxides + water.

Good Show, Sandy!! Mr. Munro, you are Very Bullish on electric powered VTOLS, and while I'm a High School drop out, and really don't want to bore you with childish questions, I gotta try : of course, the weight of batteries or fuel cells and hydrogen tanks are the biggest problems to overcome, but since the most energy intensive part of any flight is just getting the DAMN thing off the ground and into the air, and since this is a very short duration, high energy event, wouldn't Ultra Capacitors be perfect for this part of the flight?? I read that Ultra Capacitors can store large voltages of electricity, but not large Volumes of electricity yet, but I believe they are much lighter than batteries, which means you'd only need enough batteries for the lowest power use, easiest part of the flight, but I haven't seen or read about using them in that type of application, so I guess I'm wrong!!!
