Energy's Internet: Beaming Power Globally
Mark Pavlyukovskyy and Hendrik Remigereau host TechMates, the NZVC podcast. The guest on this episode is Billy Jeremijenko, Founder of Aquila, and it went out on 31 July 2025.
Billy Jeremijenko, the Australian founder of Aquila, is building wireless energy transmission with lasers, starting with beaming power to drones. He describes a childhood fascination with physics, the engineering and regulatory hurdles of launching Aquila, and his contrarian view that transmission beats storage. The conversation covers infinite drone flight, defense applications, and global energy transmission.
- Revolutionizing energy transmission with lasers.
- Achieving infinite drone flight.
- Energy transmission vs. energy storage.
- Engineering and regulatory challenges.
