Join Seve (founder of tscircuit) and Matt (founder of atopile) for a wide-ranging conversation on cutting-edge engineering across multiple domains. This episode takes you from the skies to the circuit board as they explore:
The fascinating physics behind Boom Supersonic's quiet supersonic flight technology
How stratification in the atmosphere can redirect sonic booms away from the ground
The evolution of jet engine design and the "suck, squeeze, bang, blow" cycle
The revolution happening in PCB design with modular reusable components
A deep dive into Atopile 0.3's groundbreaking solver that combines SMT and CAS capabilities
Why the "you can just do things" philosophy is driving innovation in hardware
How integrated electronics are transforming everything from rockets to aircraft engines
Plus entertaining tangents into:
The myth vs. reality of sonic booms breaking windows
The debate about using 100 nanofarad vs. 1 microfarad decoupling capacitors
The limitations of semantic versioning in evolving projects
Why are electronics becoming more tightly integrated with mechanical systems
The surprising similarities between Rocket Lab's Electron rocket and modern jet engines
Whether you're a hardware engineer, aerospace enthusiast, or just curious about the cutting edge of technology, this conversation offers fascinating insights into how innovation is happening across different engineering disciplines and why the boundaries between software and hardware continue to blur.
Watch Seve and Matt break down complex engineering concepts while sharing their excitement for the future of technology development.
