Hand-held motor operated turbojet thrusters, you forced to fly you!

Last year late of one interstellar through, let countless people followed hero together trapped time of trap, cry have that called a cry--but acting in the guest were can does not easily moved, they said, this Department claims history Shang most science of sci-fi movie, actually point also not science, most obviously of point, they of spacecraft and various single aircraft, on obviously beyond has human of technology capacity......

Well, cut off the questioning could not say no, but man's technological capacity is not so easily looked down upon--for example, when it comes to Jetpack, United Kingdom Dreamscience bring this portable power turbojet thrusters, it is want take you take you:

Straight to video. Simply put, this is the electric ultra small turbojet engine, can be used in extreme sports such as snowboarding, surfing, paragliding, auxiliary power-but how sturdy is it? Just like a small barbell, balance bar is made of aluminum alloy material and fan are carbon fiber, whole system lightweight enough to use hand held, could actually help people without their own power forward, even in the measurement of ice created people speed up to 80-kilometer/h top speed!

Why is it so tough? Because the turbine is the bunker. According to data provided by the Dreamscience company, this handheld electric turbojet thrusters, twin and four in two specifications, but whatever kind, are equipped with 8-kilowatt Super motor, rotating 30000 revolutions per minute, driving the turbine, in four conditions, maximum output 100 pounds (45 kilograms) of thrust! If a little girl here, regardless of the weight of the battery and propellers aside, this could almost reach 1:1 thrust to weight ratio, pretty amazing!

Such a cool motor, will certainly be a heavy energy users. Dreamscience says, the current bottleneck of the whole propeller lies in the batteries, even though they are already using the latest lithium polymer battery, but within the acceptable range of battery weight, at best, only a 5-minute battery life ... ... Not too happy right? But if you're on a paraglider, this 5 minutes 5 minutes will be free to fly; and if you are on a skateboard, then 5 minutes will also be lightning Super exciting 5 minutes!

At present, the Dreamscience companies still trying to improve the entire propeller, so that it is stronger, lighter and more durable. Research of decision but this hand-held thrusters do not come cheap, and is expected to cost $ 5000~10000 so-OK, looked at the wallet, which really is the next level of technology ... ... iPhone 5S Otterbox
