Congratulations to Amprius Technologies, Inc.! Amprius has some of the most promising silicone anode batteries available. Typically, certifications are more common for already established technologies that have a historical track record. The fact that Amprius was able to obtain this certification is a testament to their product and manufacturing capabilities. At Devorto we're looking forward to working with Amprius, to employ their batteries on the Tethered Uni-Rotor Network (TURN), our solar-powered High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) aircraft. #devorto #turnuav #solarpoweredaircraft https://lnkd.in/eScThqAi

A novel concept aerial platform, designed for persistent flight.
关于我们
The Tethered Uni-Rotor Network (TURN) is a novel aerial platform, which is 10X more efficient than fixed-wing without sacrificing vertical takeoff.

Right now, SpaceX is about the only rocket launch service available. The European Space Agency - ESA doesn't have a suitable rocket solution for space missions. While the Space Launch System holds potential, it still lacks enough history to instill a high degree of confidence. Like it or not, SpaceX is really the only game in town when it comes to reusable rockets for human?space exploration. Is this a bad thing? Perhaps not. NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration held the position that their mission was to?deliver?good science, so they decommissioned the space shuttle because?they were heading into an "Uber for Space" type of arrangement. Cutting ties with the space shuttle may have been the plunge needed to refocus on the longer term science and human exploration objectives. The main qualm is that launching rockets is still not a scalable process. SpaceX has increased their launch frequency, but is still limited by the number of launch?sites, and can be hindered by the weather which may scrub a meticulously?planned schedule. To service Starlink, which needs 42k satellites with a five year serviceable life, SpaceX will need to run about four launches per week to maintain that constellation. That's a lot of time/money/effort which will produce an astronomical amount of space debris. Instead, SpaceX should maintain a singularity of purpose delivering Elon's vision of humanity becoming an interplanetary species. But using satellites to deliver broadband Internet is not the most practical or responsible?solution. That's better left to High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS), like the Tethered Uni-Rotor Network (TURN) from Devorto. #devorto #turnuav #solarpoweredaircraft https://lnkd.in/eMHrCyT9

Why not airships? At Devorto this is a pretty common question when discussing the Tethered Uni-Rotor Network (TURN), our solar-powered aircraft. Since airships float, they don't need any power to stay aloft. While that is true, it doesn't address the whole story. For the vast majority of applications, High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) need to remain in one location to perform their service. As wind moves them off course, they need to power their motors to stay put. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) spent over $750M on both fixed-wing and airship HAPS designs, and concluded that pushing the large airship volume through winds, negated the amount of energy collected. That being said, airships still have a ton of potential applications. The ATLANT project is looking at blimps for emergency response situations. If you need to deliver food, equipment, and medical supplies to a region that might have inaccessible roads, then an airship is a very attractive solution. #devorto #turnuav #solarpoweredaircraft

Rockets for interplanetary travel. That's much more exciting than rockets for satellites. #turnuav #devorto #solarpoweredaircraft https://lnkd.in/eYjJfS7E
