1) Real Life Iron Man Jet Suit:
Join the Jet Suit pilots making human flight a reality. Now anyone can experience the thrill.
Gravity Industries designs, builds and flies Jet Suits, pioneering a new era of human flight. The company, which is scaling towards an International Race Series, was founded to challenge perceived boundaries in human aviation and to inspire others to dare to ask βWhat if?β
Founder and Chief Test Pilot, Richard Browning, leveraged cutting edge technology to reimagine human flight, forging an elegant partnership between mind, body and machine. This vision led to the creation of the worldβs first patented Jet Suit.
Priced at around $450,000 US 3 years ago.
2) Autonomous LaserWeeder:
By deploying Autonomous LaserWeeder robots created by Carbon Robotics, farmers can experience the following benefits:
INCREASED CROP YIELD AND QUALITY
Lasers leave the soil microbiology undisturbed, unlike tillage. The lack of herbicides and soil disruption paves the way for a regenerative approach, which leads to healthy crops and higher yields.
OVERALL COST REDUCTION
Automated robots enable farmers to reduce the highly variable cost of manual labor as well as reduce the use of crop inputs such as herbicides and fertilizers. Labor is often farmersβ biggest cost and crop inputs account for 28.2% of their total expenses. Reducing costs in both these areas is a huge benefit.
REGENERATIVE FARMING PRACTICES
Traditional chemicals used by farmers, such as herbicides, deteriorate soil health and are tied to health problems in humans and other mammals. A laser-powered, autonomous weed management solution reduces or eliminates farmersβ needs for herbicides.
ECONOMICAL PATH TO ORGANIC FARMING
One of the largest obstacles to organic farming is cost-effective weed control. A solution to weed management that doesnβt require herbicides or an increase in manual labor provides farmers with a more realistic path to classifying their crops as organic.
Carbon Robotics uses computer vision and a deep learning model to identify different species of weeds and crops. Our independent laser modules operate outside of the visible range at a 10.6-micron wavelength. They destroy weeds without damaging crops or disturbing the soil biome. With the capability of eliminating more than 100,000 weeds per hour, Carbon Robotics provides a reliable, cost-effective, and chemical-free weeding solution for commercial farms.
New models for the 2022 growing season are available for pre-order. Pricing was not found on their website, but they do mention that the machine should pay for itself in about 3 years. (compared to conventional farming methods).
3) Triton Submarines:
Why Triton Submarines?
We are dedicated to building the worldβs finest submersibles
and equally determined that the best experience, for passengersΒ and operators alike, continues to come from a submersible wearing the Triton badge.OUR SUBMERSIBLES
We build submersibles for discerning individuals and demanding professionals.
For a submersible to be worthy of wearing the coveted Triton badge, it must uphold the principles for which we stand:
Visibility β There will be no better view for pilot or passenger than from a Triton
Experience β There will be no better experience for passenger or operator than with a Triton
Dependability β Customers will be able to rely on their Triton to perform, over and over again
Simplicity β Of operation, maintenance and ownership
Certification β Weβll never deliver a submersible that is not certified by a third-party Classification Society
Where we choose to push boundaries with a special commission, be it depth, capacity or luxury, it is always with the intention of bringing benefit to the entire Triton range.
Our partnership with Aston Martin has helped us achieve a level of interior craftsmanship and material finish that is simply unmatched. What we learned engineering bespoke components for the worldβs first Full Ocean Depth submersible has yielded incredible gains in reliability and dependability for even our shallowest-diving sub. Working with the team at OceanX has helped us develop our submersibles as flexible platforms for both work and play.
Little wonder, then, that Triton are the de facto choice for scientists, researchers, filmmakers and explorers the world over.
17 models available in these 4 categories:
4) Recreational all-electric personal vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft
Meet the Jetson ONE. Jetson ONE is an ultralight and extremely fun to fly recreational all-electric personal vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. Test pilot: Tomasz Patan - Founder & CTO at Jetson Our mission is to make the skies available for everyone with our safe personal electric aerial vehicle. Are you ready to experience a completely new and exciting way of travel?
Jetson is a Swedish company with a mission to change the way we travel. We aim to make the skies available for everyone with our safe personal electric aerial vehicle.
Our prototype "proof of concept" was finished in the spring of 2018, and until now we have been very busy working on a consumer friendly version.
That project resulted in Jetson ONE, a commercially available personal electric aerial vehicle that you can own and fly.
Jetson was founded by Peter TernstrΓΆm and Tomasz Patan in 2017. We intend to make everyone a pilot.
Only 3 left for delivery in 2023.
2022 is sold out.
A complete vehicle is $92,000. USD and is delivered to you as a partially (50%) assembled kit for home completion. It contains everything you need, from the aluminium space frame to motor controllers, propellers and motors. You will also receive detailed build instructions. (Whew, Iβd hate to have to wing-it).
