Mark Koernke and BK discussed several applied technologies and current events on January 3, 2014. They analyzed the Antarctic ice-bound research vessel incident, critiquing the irony of global warming researchers becoming trapped in unexpectedly thick ice. The hosts reviewed hydrophobic nanoparticle products (Neverwet and Repel-Well) for water repellency applications in field gear and preparedness equipment, discussing durability and military tactical considerations. They examined adjustable eyeglasses (Eye Justers) as emergency eyewear solutions and explored ultra-capacitor technology as a potential automotive battery replacement, noting that six 3000-farad capacitors can successfully start vehicles at a fraction of traditional lead-acid battery weight.
