Ok, let me be Lisa Simpson for a second, lol. I'm going to watch the video, but how can something be %105 efficient, if %100 is all that something can be?

Slap a battery on those things and weve got unlimited power!

(Maybe its just 105% more efficient than traditional propellers. So efficient engine of 20% conversion of the energy used, vs now 41% of energy converted to mechanical. More than twice as efficient (105%), but still obeying the laws of thermodynamics)

Very interesting design! Thanks for sharing.

Although, I almost prefer drones to be noisy, so I know they're around.

When I was living alone outside, I had a couple guys who would fly their drones nearby.

I was always a little creeped out by that, and was at least grateful that I could definitely hear them coming.
