Howdy folks!
I’m pleased to unveil the newest Vortex-Star development! We are now printing and binding our own tear-away, specially-formulated Vortex-Star booklets! Take a look!
P.S.
There are plenty of opportunities for advertising and custom printing with this new design.
We have been busy creating new artwork for the Vortex-Star! The new prints include numbered lines for folding, a QR code, and several warnings (that are covered-up after folding).
The outside of the Vortex-Star now sports a spiral pattern. Let me know if you like it!
Meanwhile, the hunt is nearly complete for the perfect Vortex-Star paper! Just a few more steps and we will have the first test prints on the 100% official Vortex-Star paper! Believe me folks, the difference between Vortex-Stars made from ordinary paper versus this Inventor-approved paper is the difference between it flying 5 meters or 35 meters! The paper must be heavy and stiff, yet hold a steady arc (rules-out most regular notebook or printer papers). The paper must crease along a straight line, not crumple (rules-out most card-stocks and construction papers). It must also be slick to reduce friction.
We have begun testing new materials for the Vortex-Star! This first prototype, made from 3D printed plastic, appears to be too heavy to fly effectively. Perhaps at enormous speeds it would fly, but my arm cannot throw it that hard!
It’s been a busy few weeks at Vortex-Star HQ. We have been filming footage for the next steps in the funding process!
Here is a quick sample from the raw footage! 😀
Many thanks to Joe Trey for being so patient while I threw these things at his face!
The hunt is on for the perfect location to film in high-definition sloe motion! These are all filmed on a phone so far…
These shots are my favorites from the last week.
Greetings!
It’s been a busy week! The website got a make-over, and the search for the perfect Vortex-Star paper is down to two choice specimens. One is perfect, but proprietary and pricey. The other I found after exhausting nearly ALL of Denver’s printing supply stores (and demonstrated many times).
The prototypes for the first print just arrived!
Howdy folks! Check out these slow-motion videos of the Vortex Pentagon in flight! Nothing else flies quite like it!
