Gravity industries are known for their jet suits which uses kerosene to fly through the sky. Their jet suits are being tested for military and rescue mission around the world, but now they are trying to make an electric jet suit using batteries and electric motors!
Special thanks to Archie Sandberg from Gravity Industries for taking time to answer my questions!

Tony stark made it in a cave ....

While watching this, all I can think is, how awesome are flying animals.
-
While technically you could do pure electric, limited flight time is a major problem. Batteries don't yet have even close to the energy density of fossil fuel to compete.
-
Thank you for covering this. π
-
This is so cool - can't wait til we're all zooming around with these
-
Thanks for the info and your time Itβs well presented and appreciated π
-
Flight time and cost are going to be the real limiting factors here. 5 minutes still really limits the possible applications.
-
just having a protected futuristic cyberpunk city and tethered jet suits would be a MONEY amusement ride
-
I like the drone building footage π Yeah we need more motor and battery technology give it a few years im sure we can get there.
-
Can't wait until it can be used for morning commutes. :)
-
Excellent channel, subscribing!
-
Things are moving VERY FAST in this Field..good luck to all involved.
-
They should use this with a high voltage wire when training on the tether, would save a load of fuel and emissions.
-
This flight works close to what it does in my dreams. Put me in coach. Literally lucid dreaming this for my whole life. Nobody's going to be better than me. Think about it.
-
If they could make it quieter that would be huge because one of the current biggest disadvantages is noise level
-
wow what a awesome video this channel is a good find
-
The Hacksmith and his team from Canada were trying to create an electric jet suit years ago as well but they failed at the cost. They wanted to use the "Schubler electric ducted fans - EDF" that were shown in this video and which are used by Gravity as well now. Great to see that the Hacksmith was on the righ track and the technology is now coming together.

Awesome I want oneπ

You crack a cell your going down in flames MR!

The many times more power of superconducting motors does not come from higher efficiency. Efficiency is above 90% in all cases anyway. Advantage of no electrical resistance is high amps which means high magnetic field. The motors are strong for a given diameter and therefore mass which also additionally helps a little in flying operations.
