The Atomic Show #044 – Rural electricity to atomic airplanes

ByRod Adams

Topics on the show range all the way from rural electricity to atomic airplanes.

The desire for electricity and the services that it provides is growing throughout the world. In many places the main source of that power is burning diesel fuel in small generators. Much of the conversation was spurred by an article in the New York Times titled Paying in Pollution for Energy HungerOne of the key markets that the Adams Engine is designed to address is the rural power market, so Shane and I discuss how the system is designed to be very forgiving and resistant to damage.

After solving the problem of rural electrification, we mention the Blue Origin project, the new iPhone, and atomic aircraft. In other words, keep up if you can!
