From thermonuclear weapons that helped stop the Cold War, to a Le Mans 24 Hour Eco Car, and now pioneering a revolutionary battery, today’s guest has a truly remarkable career path.

We're revisiting one of our top episodes from 2022 featuring a real, actual rocket scientist - Michael Burz, the CEO and Co-Founder of Enzinc. His startup is is commercializing a truly innovative zinc-based battery that promises the power density and re-chargeability of lithium at lead-acid prices. Michael's journey from designing cruise missiles to creating eco-cars at Nissan's Design Studio showcases his exceptional ability to innovate across industries.

In this Flashback Friday clip, you’ll discover:

  • How Burz's upbringing and his mother’s aviation background influenced his career.
  • Michael’s work designing Cruise Missiles at General Dynamics and engineering thermonuclear weapons during the Cold War.
  • Michael's leadership in designing and building an all-carbon composite race car for Le Mans in record time and under budget.
  • The collaboration with the US Naval Research Laboratory that led to defining and designing their zinc battery technology.

If you’d like to hear more than just this snippet, then I’d encourage you to queue up episode 448 and learn more about how one engineer's relentless pursuit of innovation is shaping the future of battery storage.
