Finally, progress in creating a real Jet Suit! Gravity Industries designs, builds and flies Jet Suits, pioneering a new era of human flight. The company was founded to challenge perceived boundaries in human aviation and to inspire others to daretoask,“Whatif?" Launched in March 2017, the business secured $650,000 investment within the first two months from Tim & Adam Draper. Tim is best known for his early investments in Baidu Inc., Tesla and Skype. FounderandChiefTestPilot,RichardBrowning,broughttogether cutting-edge technology to reimagine human flight, forging an elegant partnership between mind, body and machine. This vision led to the creation of the world's first patented Jet Suit. The Jet Suit currently can perform speeds in excess of 80 mph and is technically capable of reaching an altitude of 12,000 ft (although for safety purposes it is flown lower). The company’s focus is on the relentless evolution of the technology and bringing this inspirational spectacle to live audiences all over the world and scaling the numerous professional applications of this technology. Gravity has built a successful business spanning Search & Rescue, paramedic, entertainment and defense applications, as well as a flight training school, which is now welcoming clients to experience the unforgettable of learning to fly a Jet Suit (on a safety andat tether)at Gravity’s theworld-renowned locationsintheU.S. GoodwoodEstateintheUK At Future Lab 2021 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Gravity Industries presented their brand new eSuit concept – the world’s first electric Jet Suit. Made from carbon fibre, aluminium and 3D printed polypropylene – to achieve great strength and minimal weight – and delivering 150 kg of thrust, which consumes 105kW when at full throttle, the eSuit uses high-discharge LiPo batteries capable of outputting immense power at a moment’s notice. The Gravity eSuit is a raw prototype, right at the edge of innovation. This is a starting point for Gravity Industries, which will embrace ongoing advances in battery and motor technology. Most recently, they showcased the eSuit for Jeff Bezos personally (March 2022).

The Gutenberg Printing Press - 1440

Gutenberg didn't actually invent printing as we know it. The unsung heroes were really the Chinese and Koreans with their moveable type. However, the Gutenberg Bible, for which Gutenberg is known, was printed in Mainz in 1455 with his associates, Johann Fust and Peter Schoeffer. Only 48 copies are known to have survived, of which 12 are printed on vellum and 36 on paper. Twenty are complete, two of them at the British Library, one printed on paper and one printed on vellum. One could argue that it was truly a time of enlightenment.

The origami-inspired design makes the device thin and sleek, perfect for the savvy traveler's carry-on. Made from recyclable plastic and leatherette parts (not paper). The device clips onto an existing armrest with 'clamps', and the screws adjust the width to accommodate a wide range of armrest sizes. Savvy insiders will know that the device can be turned around so the smaller side is facing the user; this allows for more space around the mid-section, which is always welcome!

CANADIAN TRIVIA

Here's a bit of trivia for our Spencer readers. Over the years, Canadian ingenuity has shone brightly on the world stage. Let's start with Peanut Butter, created in 1884 by Canadian pharmacist Marcellus Gilmore Edson. And how about basketball? Yes, inventedbyCanadianJamesNaismithin1891.Imagine the world without telephones! Scottish-born and immigrant to Canada, Alexander Graham Bell imagined it first by inventing a practical telephone in 1875 while working in Boston. Think about this the next time you paint yourhouse: Norman Breakey invented the paint roller around 1940 in Toronto, Ontario. And we bet that you didn't know this: the ugly, yet indispensible green polyethylene garbage bag was invented by Harry Wasylyk and Larry Hansen in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1950! Are you old enough to remember pagers? Invented by Alfred J. Gross, a wireless communications pioneer in Toronto, Ontario in 1949. He also invented the CB radio, the cordless telephone and shares credit for inventing the walkie-talkie with fellow Canadian Donald Hings in 1939.

Below: Cover of Superman #1 (summer 1939). Art by Canadian Joe Shuster. On June 4, 1838, a year before Abner Doubleday was credited with inventing baseball in Cooperstown, N.Y., two teams from Oxford and Zorra townships did battle in Beachville, Ontario in what’s now recognized as one of the first documented game in North American history.

1876: Alexander Graham Bell Patents the Telephone

In 1870, Bell arrived in Canada with his family, purchasing a farm near Brantford, Ontario, now known as the Melville House. Setting up a workshop in a carriage house on the property, Bell experimented with electricity and sound, leading to his revolutionary invention of the telephone. In 1877, at just 29 years old, Bell and his investors formed the Bell Telephone Company.

The Green Garbage Bag

The first green garbage bag was invented in 1950 by Canadian inventors Harry Wasylyk Sr. and Larry Hansen. Their invention relied on a low-density polyethylene material. They successfully created their first green garbage bag in Wasylyk's home in Winnipeg, Manitoba. About 10 years later, Wasylyk and Hansen agreed to sell their invention to Union Carbide, manufactured under the brand name Glad Trash Bags.

IMAX: Image Maximum

The Canadian-designed IMAX (Image MAXimum) format was created by filmmakers Graeme Ferguson, Roman Kroitor, Robert Kerr, and William C. Shaw. IMAX was able to record and project images in a much larger format and much higher resolution than conventional film systems.

CANADARM

Anthony Zubrzycki, a design engineer at DSMA ATCON, while seconded to SPAR, originated the concept for the Canadarm End Effector, inspired by an elastic band around his fingers. Zubrzycki formally presented this concept to NASA officials. Think of it as a 15-metre human arm with a wrist, elbow and shoulder.
