If you ’re wondering how this snowboarder is travel so fast on flat ground , the response is simple . He ’s holding powerful jet thrusters in his hands . Yes , jet thrusters . This is awesome .
Now that rechargeable battery technologies have modernize past the point of being abysmal , they ’ve allowed a company calledDreamscienceto make this Seth of handheld electric jet thrusters that make everything from snowboarding to Rollerblade immeasurably more awe-inspiring .
Because they ’re not quite ready for primetime just yet , Dreamscience is n’t exactly forthcoming with technical detail on its foundation . But it credits late advances in Li polymer stamp battery technology as making it possible to actually power four eight - kW motors that in turn twist sports fan blades at speed of up to 30,000 rpm . And all without creating so much eat as to scorch whoever ’s using it .
In tryout run on Charles Percy Snow , the Dreamscience thruster has prompt a snowboarder to speeds of up to 50 mph in seconds . And that ’s on a altogether unconditional runnel , no inclines to help it along .
The party is nowhere near ready to go selling this to the public , but it ’s hoping to first get it out the room access for around $ 10,000 . Certainly expensive , afford how many lift tickets that could buy . But eventually they ’re desire to get the cost down to around $ 5,000 , which is comparable to what a Segway will cost you , but so much more fun . [ DreamscienceviaGizmag ]
