    There is no way that is for real for a quad that size.  I'd say the biggest battery that would be a 6000mAH battery, and if the aircraft was able to fly around at 6A, that would mean at max of 60 mins.

  • unreal!

    dual dropping of of used batteries

  • Awesome, BUT..... (sunset in Moscow, Russia, for the dates specified is 19:49 (see http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=166&mont... or http://www.timezone.ru/suncalc.php?tid=113), and it looks different from 21:15 (when additional lights were added - at 5:34 on the youtube timestamp.

  • Come on, doubt its fake.....  Just because we can't figure it out lets not cry fake....   I am definitely the first to be skeptical, but there are a lot of things out there that we don't know about..  Looking at the machine itself I would say the props and motors are probably fairly normal, large prop, low rpm, high e, lightweight frame setup... So I think that would leave the batteries as the "unknown".  From what I have been able to play with lately, I figure it will just be a couple years for some really interesting battery technology to hit the commercial/ consumer markets.  He is probably using some very high density light weight battery packs. That is my guess.

  • FAKE. What is the point of posting this if you're not selling anything or sharing. Video Hits? LAME

  • Alexsey, perhaps so. Could have just as easily been powered by the air in your head though.

  • Ch.11 doesn't mean they stop producing cells..  actually Johnson Controls purchased them through the ch.11 filing.  Johnson Controls plans on continuing producing cells for the foreseeable future.

  • The amount of force per watt has been a good measure for me.   

    After seeing a large number of posts I'm feeling a bit hypocritical.  I try to espouse to be an open minded individual, and I came off a little too skeptical.  Rather than criticize maybe we should be thinking just how may this be possible.  Not whether or not he is faking it, but rather if 2+ hours of operation is really improbable.  

    Has anyone ever dabbled with hydrogen fuels cells like this?  Outside of weight and motor/prop efficiency our little drones are in need of better power sources.  I'm thinking it might be time to invest in one of those dev kits.  

  • more likely "doesn't matter" energy

  • Or maybe I helped him crack matter energy ;)
