Hardware to Save a Planet

Welcome to a very special episode of Hardware to Save a Planet. It’s the first time we will be talking about fusion technology as a solution to the sustainability crisis. Joining Dylan today is Robin Langtry, Co-founder and CEO of Avalanche Energy, a company producing the world’s first fusion microreactor.

Join the discussion as they delve into the world of fusion energy. Robin shares insights on the potential of fusion technology, the challenges it faces, and the significance of fusion in decarbonizing industries. Discover how fusion could revolutionize the world and pave the way for a carbon-free future. Don't miss out on this optimistic and informative conversation!

Robin has a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with 15+ years of experience in executing complex research and design projects at Boeing and Blue Origin. Avalanche is a VC-backed fusion energy start-up based in Seattle, WA. Robin is designing, testing, and building fusion batteries small enough to hold in your hand with power output from Kw to Mw. Carbon-free microgrids, long-haul trucking, maritime shipping, and aviation are just some of the applications of micro-reactors.
