    Right, a helicopter.

    Gasoline is no match Rob. 

    How many engine cuts you got, what is your system MTBF?

    electric has the best reliability.

    I have a copter that costs $4000, and can fly for 5 hours with a payload. :)

    Wait - wasn't this the same copter that was 100% powered by fuel cells? Ie no hybrid?

  • James Wright June 27, 2015 at 8:03am
    Euan Ramsay, what do you mean? It's powered via a conventional battery, however this battery is constantly being charged by the fuel cell so there isn't any latency in the power.

    Lol, TC.

    I'm interested to hear how they overcame the latency issue of the cells. I see it's indoors and likely running a low PID loop...I wonder how it would cope outdoors, actually flying about?

    Hi Rob,

    I believe that there have been two posts and with each post the duration becomes longer:-)

    I think this is the third time this has been posted in 1-2 weeks? ;)

    Actually working out of Canada. The folks behind it are Israeli :-)

    Only only byproduct is pure water! Only thing id worry about is the compressed hydrogen tank flying about. I would imagine though, that chemical storage could be used, such as a metal hydride.
