Hi Carl , I said that can be "part" of the solution ...not the solution ..but that, with improved software/hardware might do that ..
this can be part of the solution ..http://www.maxamps.com/Lipo-11000-148-Pack.htm along with suggetions like those from Georacer
vis.asta Since you bothered to comment, why don't you tell us more about your setup. Otherwise, its a waste of time to post all this here :P

with the time of 1:20 on the clock (6:30 on the 10x video)

@Sgt Ric,
No, I was referring to news posts such as this one: http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/turnigy-9xr-transmitter
which is closed source, if I understand correctly.
Anyway, it's not an important matter.
More importantly, I would like to explore the conditioning of the throttle signal to reduce costly power spikes, one day.
I believe there is much to be gained from that.
I think is not a fake, with Mikrokopter hexa the record is 45 minutes, without special hardware.
While I agree that sharing infos is good, I have to agree with Georacer. We see daily posts about universities being able to fly 10 multirotors at the same time doing very impressive stuff, but never seen any specific details about it. But when it comes to singles being able with research, time and big money to achieve same impressive results, then suddenly this becomes annoying....
The info we need is in the video, hand made motors, hand made propellers, super expensive components (probably military based) and very expensive high Ah batteries.... maybe a fuel cell battery......
and maybe a regenerating ESC with a very efficient control software...
My two cents.
This is fake.. this guy has created videos like this for a while now, and never once mentions anything that is believable as to how... for all I care he created the video using a video editing package but using the main scene and adding the quad copter elements to it. It is amazing how much you can do with a grainy looking video and computer graphics.. just look at things like the movie District 9 and what they did on a pretty limited budget.. and how well the CG blended.
This is a open source community.. stop posting these videos vis.asta.. if you can't explain the math which in all accounts does not add up.. then don't post on here. Take these seemly fake videos some where else.
You simply can't make the math work.. even with one time use batteries, dropping them as you use them, etc... it just doesn't add up what so ever.. sorry. Prove me wrong with real facts and how it works and have someone outside of a grainy video that is most likely fake confirm the results and do the math.
With no info on how it is being done and nothing to learn from it as a result, I have very little interest, If it were true, and info given on how, then it owuld be interesting if only as proof of possibility. But without any additional information, it doesn't even rise to curiosity.
This is highly stimulating ..this put us all thinking on how to go further and further ..I like this ..and in the cold the batteries last less ..much less.. right ?
