This is a quick short showing off our 3d printed high altitude helium valves.

I’ve been experimenting with creating a Logo/Banner for our submarine. It’s not quite there yet, but this is where I’m heading. This was done with all the tools: Midjourney, MS Paint, Paintshop pro and finally Canva. Yes, no?

The gang got the first inner helium cell for the Ellipse airship complete. The vehicle will use four. Will did a test inflation with air. it just fits in the room.

This is a quick walk through of our MiniQuad rocket engine. It’s just 14 inches long, but it’s the next step.

Yesterday we cut and marked film for the Ellipse airship helium cells. The next step will be joining the panels.

This is what the inner helium cells will look like when done. This is an inner cell for the Ascender 36 airship. The Ellipse airship will have four.
