This is cool, but it sounds very far from having a meaningfully helpful prototype, not to speak of a product moving towards production. Very interesting but I don’t think it’s happening soon


Oh this again? Yeah, not efficient enough to beat out fans in non-vacuum based environments. Come back to me when there is a research paper outlining how doing so is better by any of our understandings of physics first, than some startup trying to raise.
