Jetson One is basically a single seat with a frame... that might protect you in a crash at slow speeds... and less than a few metres off the ground... and it has four arms like a regular drone... and eight rotors... Four sets of two... so if one prop has an issue... its partner can take up the slack...![]()

Air One... It's a 2 person vertical lift off and landing aircraft...![]()
![]()
Air One has a fuselage similar to many small planes... with an enclosed cockpit... and it has wings... and a twin tail... and here's where it differs... this sweet aircraft has four arms extending outwards like you see on a regular drone... and four sets of horizontal rotors... so there's 8 all up... and in this configuration one prop can fail and it's paired rotor will take up the slack...![]()
![]()
One feature I really like... Is the cockpit that opens from the front... with the entire roof lifting up... and a window in front of your feet for a sweet view down to the front...![]()
![]()
The aircraft can cruise at 250kph for up to around 177km before the batteries need a re-juice...![]()
![]()
Air One is an Israeli company with full sized prototypes already being tested... and the company is also already taking pre-orders... so we could see them in the sky around here within the next few years...![]()

Unfortunately I have no word on pricing yet...![]()

The Radiant Nuclear Reactor... It's a small nuclear power station that can power about 1,000 Homes... for up to 8 years...![]()
![]()
The Radiant Nuclear Reactor is like a little round tank... that will fit in a shipping container... and uses a helium instead of water to cool itself...![]()
![]()
Each unit delivers over 1 Megawatt of electricity... Perfect for remote communities... ![]()
![]()
Apparently the Radiant company comprises ex Space-X employees who had been working on a similar project for Mars... And obviously they realized there could be more people here on Earth that could make use of a small nuclear power station... or maybe you could call it a large nuclear battery...![]()

The Non Invasive Glucose Monitor... For Diabetics...![]()
![]()
The Non Invasive Glucose Monitor is about the size of a 20c piece... with three extensions that look like little wires... and it all gets stuck onto your arm... and this baby analyses glucose in your sweat... so no more pin pricks...![]()
![]()
There is a strong correlation between glucose levels in sweat and blood... While the concentration of glucose in sweat is about 100 times less than the concentration in blood... the team at Penn State University say that their new wearable can track it without a problem... Sure this first device is just a prototype...![]()
![]()
The sensor has a laser-induced graphene coated sensor with a nickel/gold alloy electrode... The nickel was chosen as it has a robust glucose sensitivity... Via capillary action... sweat is drawn into a small inlet... into a microfluidic chamber... Glucose molecules react with the solution... creating a compound that reacts with the nickel... producing an electrical signal... and the strength of the signal gives you your glucose levels... ![]()
![]()
The device has not been commercially produced yet... but it's a sure sign of simpler testing of blood glucose levels in the future...![]()
