‘Flying fish robot’
British researchers have said that the flying fish robot can use water from the environment (such as lakes, ponds, rivers, oceans, etc.) to launch itself into the air.
The flying fish robot is capable of traveling up to 85 feet through the air, and researchers believe it can be useful for collecting samples in hazardous environmental conditions, such as during floods or a nuclear attack.
The best thing about the flying fish robot is that it requires only 0.2 grams of calcium carbide powder in a combustion chamber and a small pump that delivers water from the environment in which the robot is to be launched.
In the combustion chamber, water combines with calcium carbide powder and produces burnable acetylene gas, which then pushes the water upward as a jet, allowing the robot to launch out of the water and into the air.
The flying fish robot is extremely lightweight, making it suitable for flight. It can even be used in harsh conditions, such as floods or nuclear accidents.
