For my second blog I will be talking about a motorized body board, it is called the Kymera motorized body board. This body board was invented by Jason woods, which his idea came to mind first when he found that transporting and storing a 16 foot boat was an expensive difficulty, he wanted something that he could take from home at any time and toss it in the water, without the hassle of transporting a big machine for just one day of fun. You are maybe asking yourself how he built this amazing machine. Jason woods studied at Napa’s New Technology high school where he learned to build his own rockets and built battle ready robots, and then he realized that he could build a compact body board with its own motor to go around the lake or river.
You may be asking yourself how it works. Well it expels water to create a thrust and which diverts a small amount of water to cool the engine. The body board may travel up to 15 miles per hour. The Kymera also involves carbon fiber and handle bars to hold on to. Apparently there is a new motorized body board being built which will use hybrid electric propane four stroke engines that will reach up to 25 miles per hour. This invention costs about $40,000, but Jason woods basic model could sell for $1,000.
Were you ever once a kid and like to throw paper airplanes perhaps you still like to do that. Well now I just got the coolest invention for you. This new invention is called Electric Paper Airplane Conversion Kit which makes your paper air plane last longer in the air. For instance when you threw the paper airplane it would only last about five seconds in the air and it would not be so fun. This conversion kit measuring 18.5 centimeters long, the stem device clips onto the front of the paper aircraft, adding a propeller right on the plane's tail to send it flying through the air. The onboard charge can get those blades spinning for up to 90 seconds in a single charge, keeping your paper plane airborne for a lot longer than usual. The conversion kit is a slim stick that has a charging port on one end and the propeller on the other, it is made out of fiber so it wouldn’t weigh a lot when on the aircraft. To charge your conversion kit you need 3 AA batteries in the battery pack for only 20 seconds. The only bad side to this great invention is that you can’t control the planes direction for the entire 90 seconds. The plane would more likely fall down in an indoor environment than an outside, but after the 90 seconds are over you would have to run after the plane. Compared to remote control airplanes, it has no match but it only consists of two things paper and the conversion kit. This electric kit costs $ 20.
