So, we – team Hydrolift, are stepping up to develop a progressive drone powered by this product. With this integration, we aim to solve the “headache” of confined space, delicate weight, maintainability, and demanding power output for enduring flight time. This application will mark the start to scale our product into more sectors. However, right at this moment, having a hydrogen UAV has already opened various opportunities for a sustainable future.

Can you imagine using energy from thin air to fly? You don’t have to, since our product is bringing that vision closer to reality than ever. Come meet us at our booth to experience this breakthrough!

What happens when a satellite deploys a tether in space?

On Earth, gravity makes this difficult to study. Our team built a system where two objects, connected by a tether, can move freely across a surface using air bearings, resembling motion in space.

This setup is used to test the deployment of a plasma brake, a charged tether used to slow satellites through interaction with space plasma.

Watch a satellite spin up, release the mass, and deploy the tether in real time.

Office buildings account for 40% of energy-related emissions, yet most people inside them have no idea how they truly perform. For facility managers, the data is buried in complex dashboards; for others, it’s simply out of sight.
