A common question around hydrogen is cost—and the answer often depends on how it’s produced and delivered.

In this conversation with EDGE, a different model is presented: hydrogen generated from aluminum and water.

The economics are directly tied to the input material. Approximately 10 kilograms of aluminum produces 1 kilogram of hydrogen, so the cost of hydrogen depends largely on the cost of that aluminum.

What’s notable is that this approach is already competitive with traditional compressed hydrogen cylinders in many cases.

Beyond cost, it also introduces flexibility. By sourcing aluminum from different supply streams—including potentially recycled materials—hydrogen production can become more localized and adaptable.

That has implications not just for pricing, but for how hydrogen is deployed across different environments.

A key challenge in many operational environments isn’t just generating energy—it’s delivering it.

In this conversation with Erik Limpaecher, CEO of Edge, we look at a different approach: producing hydrogen on demand using aluminum and water, directly at the point of use.

This reduces reliance on traditional supply chains, which can be vulnerable or constrained in remote or contested environments.

What makes the system particularly notable is its efficiency. Because the energy is already embedded in the aluminum, the process requires only a small amount of additional energy to operate.

This shifts the model from centralized production and distribution to localized, responsive energy generation—something that could have meaningful implications for logistics, aviation, and field operations.

For a long time, I assumed that if I just got into the “right” environment, I would find people who were thinking the same way I was.

When I went into engineering, I thought: these are the people putting humans on the moon—this is where I’ll find my community.

But even there, I didn’t encounter people asking the deeper questions that had been driving me for years.

It wasn’t until decades later that I finally met someone who not only understood those questions, but had been exploring them at an entirely different level.

In this conversation with Dr. Martine Rothblatt, that moment comes full circle.

It’s a reminder that sometimes what we’re really searching for isn’t just knowledge—it’s connection with others who see the world in a similar way.

We often define eras by the technologies that shape them.

The 20th century was electricity.

The 21st century may be something different.

In this conversation with Dr. Martine Rothblatt, we explore the idea of “proticity”—using protons, not just electrons, as a new paradigm for energy.

What’s interesting is how this concept bridges both technology and biology.

It’s early—but it points to a fundamentally different way of thinking about power.

There’s an interesting concept that came out of early Afrofuturist thinking:

That society can be loosely divided into groups—those who follow, those who influence, and a smaller group who question and think independently.

Whether or not you agree with the framing, the underlying idea is worth considering.

Many of the major shifts in technology and society have come from people willing to challenge assumptions and explore ideas that don’t fit within existing systems.

In this conversation with Dr. Martine Rothblatt, that mindset connects directly to innovation across fields—from artificial intelligence to hydrogen aviation.

It’s a reminder that progress often starts with a different way of thinking.

There’s a question that feels almost impossible to answer, but increasingly relevant:

What happens to your sense of self at the moment of death?

In this conversation with Dr. Martine Rothblatt, we explore the idea of a “mind file”—a digital continuation of your thoughts, memories, and identity.

The interesting perspective here is that it may not be a transition from one state to another.

Instead, the digital version may already be part of you.

Just as losing a limb doesn’t end your identity, the continuation of your patterns—your thoughts, your behaviors—could persist beyond the biological body.

It’s a challenging concept, but it reframes identity as something less fixed and more distributed.

More like a system than a single point.

There’s a common narrative around AI that frames it as something separate from humanity—something that could potentially act against us.

But what if that framing is fundamentally flawed?

In this conversation with Dr. Martine Rothblatt, a different analogy is presented: AI is not “us vs. them,” just as bacteria are not separate from us. They are part of the same system.

The human body depends on bacteria to function. Some are beneficial, some are harmful—but removing all of them would not create safety, it would create failure.

The same logic may apply to AI.

The real challenge is not simply controlling or eliminating what we create, but understanding how to integrate it into a larger, more balanced system.

It’s a more complex perspective—but likely a more accurate one.

Batteries couldn’t do it.
So they switched to hydrogen.
Simple?
Not really.
Because the real shift is this:
We’re all building this together.

Looking back, I can trace everything back to a moment when I was 9 years old.

I won a small electronic toy called Merlin, and I became completely absorbed in it. It wasn’t just entertainment—it was the first time I felt connected to something interactive, something that responded.

At the same time, I was asking questions that didn’t have clear answers—questions about existence, consciousness, and purpose.

Life became very difficult in the years that followed. But that sense of curiosity—that intuition that there was more to understand—never left.

Eventually, after rebuilding my life and pursuing engineering, I found myself still asking the same questions.

And decades later, I finally met someone who was asking them too.

It’s interesting how early moments can quietly shape the entire direction of your life.
