    Ep. 6: Gas Turbines are Awesome

    Ep. 6: Gas Turbines are Awesome

    Did you know that a gas turbine sucks in enough air to fill a Goodyear blimp in ~10 seconds? Our guest Dr. Jacqueline O’Connor, Director of the Penn State Center for Gas Turbine Research, Education and Outreach (https://sites.psu.edu/gtreo/) at The Pennsylvania State University, explains the main components of a gas turbine and how these amazing machines manage one of the most extreme environments that human engineers have developed.

    Ep. 5: Electricity, Hold the Carbon

    Ep. 5: Electricity, Hold the Carbon

    We don't have to invent new technology to begin to combat climate change today. Gas-fired generation is flexible, affordable, reliable, and produces less than half CO2 of coal, while coal-to-gas switching represents a fast and effective win for emissions reduction. But, what technology options exist for gas turbines to reduce carbon emissions.  

    Jeff and Brian talk about the use of hydrogen as a power generation fuel and the potential for carbon capture technology to be applied to power plants.

    Ep. 4: Key Terminology to Measure the Journey

    Ep. 4: Key Terminology to Measure the Journey

    What do terms like carbon neutral, carbon negative, zero carbon mean? What are the implications of various scope levels of emissions? What is carbon intensity? Want to know more? Jeff Goldmeer and Brian Gutknecht explain what these key terms mean and why it matters.

    Ep. 3: Renewables Need Friends

    Ep. 3: Renewables Need Friends

    Decarbonizing power is a team sport. Today, there is still a billion people in the world without electricity. A tremendous amount of power is needed to electrify the world, and it grows about a 1.5% growth rate yearly. By 2050 the world will need approximately 42,000 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity, adding about 400 TWh of additional power every year: twice as much electricity as California generates today. 

    Can this all be done by renewables? Renewables over the last 20 years have seen a massive growth. This continued growth could lead to wind and solar being 50% of total electricity generation by 2050. But where will the other 50% come from?

    In this episode Brian and Jeff explore this paradox with Vic Abate, GE's Chief Technology Officer and the CEO of GE Research.

    Ep. 1: Climate Change: The Everything, Everywhere Problem

    Ep. 1: Climate Change: The Everything, Everywhere Problem

    Global climate change is real.  We have a limited time to take action to limit the impact and to prevent massive long-term global changes. A conversation with Brian Gutknecht, GE Gas Power's Chief Marketing Officer, will put the challenge of climate change into practical and accessible terms.

    Mainframes: The GE 225 and the Birth of BASIC

    Mainframes: The GE 225 and the Birth of BASIC

    The computing industry started booming after World War II. General Electric’s CEO refused to enter that market. But a small team of rebel employees bent the rules to forge on in secret. They created the GE 225. It was a giant leap in engineering that pushed computing from a niche market to the mainstream—sowing the seeds for today’s tech industry. Before the creation of general-purpose mainframes, computers were often built to perform a single function. William Ocasio recalls how GE’s first specialized computers, the ERMA, helped banks process thousands of transactions per day. John Joseph recounts how a few key GE employees hoodwinked their CEO into creating a computing department. Tomas Kellner explains how their work resulted in a revolutionary machine—the GE 225. And Joy Lisi Rankin describes how engineers at Dartmouth College adapted the GE 225 for time-sharing and used it to create BASIC—major milestones in making computing more accessible.

    105 - Nikola Tesla: A Strange and Beautiful Mind

    105 - Nikola Tesla: A Strange and Beautiful Mind

    Nikola Tesla. The prototypical "mad scientist". He slept only a few hours a night and devoted his life to science like none-other. A rags-to-riches-to-rags visionary who was a giant in the field of scientific invention, he created the first alternating current (AC) motor and was a pioneer in the field of wireless information transmission. He helped build the world’s first large-scale hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls. He even pushed scientific rival Thomas Edison into electrocuting pets to prove that his direct current technology was better and safer than Tesla’s alternating current. It was a AC versus DC, War of Currents nerd fight that lasted over a decade. He was also a strange man who fell in love with a pigeon and once claimed to have created a "death ray". And he gets sucked today, on Timesuck!

    Podcast 041: Diving into big data as IoT of aviation takes flight

    Podcast 041: Diving into big data as IoT of aviation takes flight

    First, GE Aviation has launched a Configuration Data Exchange for the aviation industry, working in partnership with Capgemini, for which Michael is affiliated. This exchange aims to drive asset productivity and maintenance optimization across the aviation ecosystem, which in turn will have knock on benefits for the passenger experience. Michael explains why, as more aircraft data is moved across any channel – on the ground or in-flight – operators need to know how to process the data and make it meaningful.

    Next, satellite operator Iridium is hotly anticipating the launch of its NEXT generation constellation in a couple of weeks. It believes NEXT will “lead the way” in helping airlines meet the Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System mandates outlined by ICAO. Co-hosts Max Flight and Mary Kirby ask Michael if airlines will show a preference for “position report” flight tracking solutions supported by Iridium NEXT or gravitate towards space-based ADS-B, which will be facilitated by payloads on those satellites. Michael also discusses the market share race between Inmarsat and Iridium in providing safety services for the cockpit.

    Last but not least, Delta Air Lines has banned a passenger for life after he engaged in a loud, vulgar tirade about Donald Trump in front of passengers. The passenger’s rant was caught on tape, and so too was the crew’s lack of action. Max, Mary and Michael share their thoughts on Delta's response to this unfortunate event.

    Podcast 040: Will Trump affect travel and tourism to the US?

    Podcast 040: Will Trump affect travel and tourism to the US?

    Welcome to Episode 040 of the #PaxEx Podcast. Our guest for this episode is Chris Kjelgaard, an aviation and travel-industry reporter and editor with more than three decades of experience. In addition to serving as Editor of various print and online magazine titles, he has written for dozens of aviation trade and consumer magazines and websites and has been interviewed many times by television, radio, print and online media on aviation and travel topics. He is also a contributing editor to Runway Girl Network.

    First, some British travellers vowed to boycott travel to the US if Trump won the election, according to The Telegraph newspaper. Now that Trump is President-elect, #PaxEx Podcast co-hosts Max Flight and Mary Kirby join Scotland-born Chris Kjelgaard in considering the impact to travel and tourism.

    Next, we discuss one of Max's favorite topics – aircraft engines. Chris has written a piece for Runway Girl Network about how CFM International is concentrating on making sure that the newly developed successor to the legendary CFM56 – the new LEAP engine - will be just as successful. Having interviewed GE Aviation’s LEAP manufacturing program director, Cristina Seda-Hoelle about the ramp up - following entry into service on the A320neo - Chris brings listeners up to speed on how CFM is pumping up the volume for this remarkable program.

    Last but not least, Copa Holdings’ brand new Colombian subsidiary Wingo is positioning its passenger experience, sales and ticket-distribution strategies to appeal to travelers who it believes “want to enjoy a fresh, friendly and unpretentious flight experience”. Chris interviewed the airline’s general leader Catalina Bretón about the carrier’s plans. We consider whether Wingo will be able wing its way into the hearts of passengers.

    Ben Heineman Jr, The Inside Counsel Revolution

    Ben Heineman Jr, The Inside Counsel Revolution

    Ben Heineman is a legendary and transformative figure in the field of corporate law. He is also a published author and professor at both Yale and Harvard Law schools.

    In this podcast he joins host Mark Wahlstrom to discuss his recently released book "The Inside Counsel Revolution: Resolve the Partner-Guardian Tension" In this book and interview Heineman discusses his experience in the corporate law field and what led to the writing of his latest book. His decades at the right hand of first Jack Welch and then Jeffery Imalt at GE gives real life wisdom and experience to the pressures facing corporate counsel in all manner of cases. 

    Given the subsequent troubles that GE has faced in the time since this interview was conducted and the book published, GE watchers, lawyers and management professors will appreciate the contrast as to the perception of GE from then and now.
