387 - Direct Air Capture

Gast: David KeithHost: Markus Völter    Shownoter: Alexander Grote The root cause of global warming is that more and more of the energy supplied by the sun is captured by the atmosphere because of increased amounts of CO2 and other climate gases. One way of fixing this is to make sure that more of that energy is reflected and never even penetrates the lower atmosphere. Solar geoengineering proposes to put particles into the upper atmosphere to increase its reflectivity and thereby reduce the temperature. In the episode I talk with Harvard’s David Keith about some of the technical aspects, which role this technique can play in the overall fight against climate change, some of the political challenges as well as current avenues of research.

385 - Solar Geoengineering

Gast: Marco CalvianiHost: Markus Völter    Shownoter: Kolja Dummann The beam dump is a large graphite block used to take up the energy stored in the LHC beam in case the beam needs to be shut down. Since the energy in the beam can be as high as the kinetic energy of a landing 747-400, designing and operating the dump is challenging. In this episode, Marco Calviani, who heads the group that is responsible for this and other beam dumps at CERN, tells us about how the dump works, and what they have recently changed in order to cope with the higher luminosity in future configurations of the LHC.

374 - Flying the F-22

 Guest: Paulo IscoldHost: Markus Voelter   Shownoter: Kolja Dummann In this episode I talk with Paulo Iscold, a professor or aeronautical engineering at Cal Poly about Nixus Nixus, his most recent project. Nixus is one of the most fascinating and ground-breaking research efforts in the space of gliding. It uses advanced manufacturing techniques to support a very thing wing, plus a fly-by-wire system to control the ailerons and the flaps; the latter are automatically adjusted to the current speed. Here is the Idaflieg presentation I mentioned in the intro.

368 - Nuclear Waste Disposal and Storage

How do scientists uncover phenomena and explain their connections? How do engineers design machines, methods and infrastructure? At omega tau, experts give detailed answers. Over the last ten years, we have produced over 350 episodes in which we dug deeper, until we ran out of questions. Join us on our journey through the world of science and engineering: the closer you look and listen, the more interesting things get.

Podcasts are very thorough, often covering several hours of subject matter.  They take you beyond the usual &#34;popular science&#34; podcasts and present material in a more intensive manner.  I particularly enjoy the physics podcasts on the Alice Detector at Cern.

Omega Tau goes deep, really deep, into aviation, big science, big engineering and technical occupations. After listening to an Omega Tau episode, you are now a casual expert on the topic.  And there is no holding back on the technical content, things that are abstract Markus has his guests explain, so the listener really understands why things are designed the way they are.  Even episodes that I think I will not be interested in I find entertaining and educational because of the great interviewing style and technical depth.

In depth coverage on great topics

270 - Nuclear Weapons

 Guests: Tucker HamiltonHost: Markus Voelter  Shownoter: Thomas Machowinski The Lockheed F-35 Lightning II is going to be more or less what the F-16 and F-18 are today: the backbone of the US and NATO land and sea-based air forces. It is a multi-role fighter, and one of its versions has the capability to take off with a very short roll and land vertically. Tucker “Cinco” Hamilton is a test pilot who has flown all three versions of the jet. In this episode we talk about flying this fifth-gen fighter and about some aspects of the testing program. For more F-35 and Cinco check out episode 78 of the Fighter Pilot Podcast.

We start out by revisiting the breakthroughs that drove progress in fusion over the decades, including understanding stars, the tokamak, superconducting magnets, supercomputers and a number of specific aspects of plasma physics. We then look at the current state of fusion research as well as where it might go.</p> <p> </p><h2>Introduction</h2> 00:02:43<p> <a href="https://people.epfl.ch/justin.ball" rel="nofollow"

249 - Plasma Physics

 Guest: Jason Markzon, Jafet Ojeda    Host: Markus Voelter Shownoter: Bastian Hundt, Jochen Spalding In June 2019 I had the pleasure and honor to fly in an F-16D with the USAF Thunderbirds. The episode covers the medical briefing about how to prevent motion sickness and how to deal with Gs, suiting up with flight suit, g-suit, harness, helmet and mask, the briefing with my pilot Maj. Jason Markzon, the flight itself with commentary, an interview about the Thunderbirds with Jason, as well as a reflection on what the flight meant to me, recorded together with Nora. A small correction: I suspected wrong regarding the code word TIMBER SWEET. In fact, it means that the Link16 data link between the two F-16s works. It’s great to have competent listeners :-) Videos and pictures are available at omegataupodcast.net/thunderbirds.

300 - How Processors Got So Fast

 Guest: Pierre BauerHost: Markus Voelter    Shownoter: Kolja Dummann Superconductivity, the ability of a material to carry electrical current with zero resistance, is a surprising property of nature, which man has been able to exploit in many ways, in particular, for high-performance magnets. Those are used in magnetic resonance imagers, but also in colliders and fusion reactors. In this episode we discuss the basics of superconductivity and its uses with Pierre Bauer, a superconductor engineer at ITER.

324 - Air Traffic Control at Heathrow and RIAT

 Guest: Jan Stahl, John Traylor, Graham Johnson    Host: Markus Voelter    Shownoter: Pascal Becker On the second day of my visit to Nellis AFB we covered the Red Flag, an advanced aerial combat training exercise hosted multiple times per year at Nellis. We started out with a general overview with Jan Stahl; we also covered the role of the aggressors. I then talked with John Traylor who works as a ground intercept controller for the aggressors. Next is a conversation with Graham Johnson about Red Flag from the perspective of a blue force participant; he flies an F-15C out of Lakenheath. We conclude the episode with a look at the historical context that lead to Red Flag, again with Jan.

252 - Red Flag

 Guest: Eduard HeindlHost: Markus Voelter    Shownoter: Fabian Zeisberger With power generation in the grid becoming more diverse and decentralized, energy storage is becoming more and more important. Eduard Heindl‘s gravity storage is an approach to storing electrical energy as potential energy by lifting huge masses cut out of the ground. While this sounds crazy, there are lots of reasons why this makes sense. In the episode we discuss then need, the general approach, the construction process and some of the engineering challenges. We also look at the innovation process, the path from the idea to something that is ready to be built.

299 - Gravity Storage

<p> <b>Guest:</b> Ralf Kleiber, Matthias Hirsch    <b>Host:</b> Markus Voelter<br/> <b>Shownoter:</b> Alexander Grote</p> <p>In our never-ending quest to understand fusion and its potential use in energy production, I visited the <a href="https://www.ipp.mpg.de/wendelstein7x" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wendelstein 7-X</a> fusion experiment in Greifswald run by the <a href="https://www.ipp.mpg.de" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik</a>. We started out with a visit to the experiment hall, while experimentalist Matthias Hirsch gave us an overview over the machine. Next we discussed theory and modeling with Ralf Kleiber. Finally, I returned to Matthias Hirsch, and we chatted about more experimental aspects of Wendelstein.

312 - The Wendelstein 7-X Fusion Experiment

 Guest: Mike SharplesHost: Markus Voelter    Shownoter: Stefan Rillaert Secondary surveillance radar (SSR) is the radar technology used in aviation to query transponders; it forms the backbone of today’s air traffic control infrastructure. Our guest in this episode is Mike Sharples who has been part of the development of the technology and is intimately familiar with the details. We discuss the importance of SSR today, the details of the protocol, the difference between and evolution from Mode A/C to S as well as the relationship to ADS-B.

266 - Secondary Surveillance Radar

 Guests: Friederike OttoHost: Markus Voelter   Shownoter: Thomas Machowinski An important consequence of the warming of the planet due to climate change is that the frequency and/or severity of extreme weather events will increase. But how can we tell whether a particular event can be attributed to the changing climate? Would it have happened in “normal” climate as well, and if so, how would the event have been different? This aspect of climate science is called attribution science, and the guest of this episode, Friederike Otto is a pioneer in the field.

332 - Attribution of Extreme Weather Events

 Guest: Heino FalckeHost: Markus Voelter    Shownoter: Kolja Dummann A few months ago, a collaboration called the Event Horizon Telescope presented the first direct image of a black hole; or more specifically, of the radiation created by accelerated particles at its event horizon. The EHT is a Very Large Baseline Interferometer, in which radio telescopes all over the world are computationally connected to obtain resolutions that are not possible with one telescope. In the episode I chat with Heino Falcke, the chair of the EHT science committee, about the science, the telescope, what it took to get it going, and image reconstruction.

320 - The Event Horizon Telescope

 Guest: Al BowersHost: Markus Voelter    Shownoter: Tim Jurik In this episode I talk with NASA Armstrong’s chief scientist Al Bowers about the research projects he has been involved in during his long career at NASA. We cover deep stall research with a Schweizer sailplane, high-alpha flight and thrust vectoring with the X-29, X-31 and F-18 HARV, aero-tow of fast jets with the F-106, supercritical wings with the F-8, as well as space related projects using the SR-71 and the X-30. This is one of my favourite episodes of all time, since it is a bit of trip down memory lane for me personally, and Al perfectly hits the sweet spot between recounting facts and telling anecdotes. I met Al when I was visiting NASA Armstrong in early 2017; this episode is a continuation of the conversations there about full-scale and subscale research there.

This is one of my favourite episodes of all time, since it is a bit of trip down memory lane for me personally, and Al perfectly hits the sweet spot between recounting facts and telling anecdotes.</p> <p>I met Al when I was visiting NASA Armstrong in early 2017; this episode is a continuation of the conversations there about <a href="http://omegataupodcast.net/257-flight-research-at-nasa-armstrong-part-2-fullscale/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">full-scale</a> and <a href="http://omegataupodcast.net/256-flight-research-at-nasa-armstrong-part-1-subscale/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">subscale</a> research there.</p> <p><a href="http://omegataupodcast.net/omegatau-photo/nasaArmstrong.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a></p> <p> </p><h2>Schweizer Deep Stall Project</h2> 00:06:45<p> <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/multimedia/imagegallery/Schweizer-1-36/Schweizer-1-36_proj_desc.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Schweizer-1-36</a> | <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_roll" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dutch Roll</a></p> <h2>F-18 High Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV)</h2> 00:17:22<p> <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/history/pastprojects/HARV/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">F-18 HARV</a></p> <h3>F-18 HARV Phase 2 - Thrust Vectoring</h3> 00:30:40<p> <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/news/FactSheets/FS-052-DFRC.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">X-15</a></p> <h3>F-18 HARV Phase 3 - Movable Strakes</h3> 00:41:30<p> </p> <h2>X-31 (Enhanced Fighter Maneuverability)</h2> 00:46:05<p> </p> <h2>F-15B ACTIVE</h2> 00:51:06<p> <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/multimedia/imagegallery/F-15ACTIVE/F-15ACTIVE_proj_desc.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">F-15 ACTIVE</a></p> <h2>Oblique Wing</h2> 00:58:40<p> <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/history/pastprojects/AD1/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AD-1</a> | <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/langley/hall-of-honor/robert-t-jones" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Robert T.

297 - Flying the AH-64 Apache

<p> <b>Guests:</b> Jean-François Clervoy, Eric Delesalle, Hervé Normand, Nicolas Barbotin<br/> <b>Host:</b> Markus Voelter    <b>Shownoter:</b> Andy Joiner</p> <p>When I was in Bordeaux with the DLR to <a href="http://omegataupodcast.net/329-forschung-in-schwerelosigkeit-dlr-parabelfluge/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">report about their science campaign</a> in September, I also talked to the team from <a href="https://www.airzerog.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AirZeroG/Novespace</a> about the technical and aviation aspects of parabolic flights. These interviews are in this episode. I chat with Jean-François Clervoy about the history of the company, with Eric Delesalle about piloting the parabolas, with Hervé Normand about the reasons for the potential sickness, and with Nicolas Barbotin about cabin safety. At the end of the episode I also provide some details about the technical problem that prevented parabolas during my own flight with the A-310 ZeroG.</p> <p><a
