The Cavity Magnetron, key to the success of WW2 airborne RADAR
Following the independent development of radar in many countries from 1934-9 there was a need to efficiently achieve high power microwave energy to enable the transition from land based into airborne radar. The presentation will feature cavity magnetron based radars as used in naval corvettes, B17 flying fortress bombers as well as introduce the British H2S radar.

Hydrogen for long-haul road freight - a realist retroductive assessment
This lecture presents a study which focuses on arguably the most contentious energy supply choice for decarbonizing general-purpose long-haul road freight: hydrogen. Ten requirements for an energy supply choice to be feasible are identified. It is concluded that it is very unlikely that hydrogen will become feasible in the lifespan of a truck bought today. This means it can be disregarded as a current vehicle purchase consideration, as hydrogen vehicles will not undermine the competitiveness or resale value of a vehicle using a different energy source bought today. There are two principal innovations in the study approach: the consideration of socio-technical and political as well as techno-economic factors; and the application of realist retroductive assessment."
