% tuzuvuzu% - the world's first university, where officially develop jet packs
An idea came to my mind.
It so happened that there is no university in the world where they are systematically engaged in flying jetpacks / hoverboards / wings.
The project from Arizona State University for the competition DARPA for "runners" four-minute mile .
2019 is the year of the 100th anniversary of the filing of the patent application for a jetpack by a Russian engineer . This is also the year of the HYIP turbojet personal gizmos, the whole world is watching the pioneers in this field. Frankie Zapata (Zapata Racing), Yves Rossi (JetMan), Richard Browning (Gravity), David Maiman (JetPack Aviation), Glenn Martin (Martin Jetpack) - private companies that do mostly for their money, which they earned from another business (water scooters, real estate, etc.) ')
My hypothesis is this: What if there are universities that are still the place where the future is created? A place where crazy engineers are happy in crumpled t-shirts with glowing eyes?
During my life I managed to interact with several universities, I will try to give them my subjective assessment. I'll try to reach them. 27 days ago sent requests. Someone answered that someone could not. If anyone has something to add, or who knows what university can / wants to be the first in the world , write in comments or in a personal.
FEFU
My native university. Nowadays, the PR is actively promoted in the media, feeding the cyborgs, conducting farm experiments, doing underwater drones and even want to launch a satellite. Present in social networks, respond within a week. Said fly in - let's talk. Hmm ...
MIPT
Of course, the smartest people on the planet. But the thinking of the administration, to whom he was able to reach - for the most part sovkovoe. They are present in social networks, those who answer, they said that they are ready to let me go to them with a lecture at the university, if I pay them 100,000 rubles. I could not reach other decision makers.
Moscow Polytechnic University (MAMI)
Strong young modern team. Developed the NTI Olympiad, sheltered the project of crowdsourcing satellite "Mayak". There is a positive case with the initiative of the engineer Romance Pablo Emilio Iturralde Baquero , who created the Formula Student laboratory there, where they make racing cars with their own hands.
MAI
Probably the most "specialized" university. There are even teachers there, as from the book Monday begins on Saturday. A sweater, black slick jeans and burning eyes. Some "managers" said: "Let's talk in September." Others said, “Is this a combat plane? Not? Go nafig! "
HSE
I am experimenting with neural interfaces in HSE in 2012 .
The most timely. Present in all communication channels, respond within a day. But how and where to fasten jet packs? To urbanism? To design? To management?
I see an awesome boost to the image of the Tower, if you release the sweatshirts "And we are doing jet packs."
Skoltech
It seems the most innovative. Sent request. Waiting for
Innopolis
“I clarified with our colleagues, unfortunately, they are not interested.”
KAI
Kazan National Research Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev
“In KAI for such projects there is no funding at all”
VyatGU
It seems to be interested, trying to set a date phoned.
And I already came up with the slogan: “From washing machines to jetpacks!”
University 20.35
27 days waiting for a response in the FB.
Foreign universities
Maybe there are chances abroad?
Singulatity university
Not really a university. Dohrenischischa bubble, a bet on public relations, have already invited the Englishman Richard Browning:
Maybe I'm overly skeptical, but I have not seen a single standing project that came out of the walls of SU for 11 years of its existence. "Ambasadors" SU otmazyvatsya so, they say, "we think for thousands of years."
Tell us about your favorite universities, maybe there is hope?
Maybe Singapore, Shenzhen or India?
I see an awesome opportunity, as with a budget of 2-10 million rubles a year, you can haipitate to the whole world, disrupt millions of views on YouTube and increase the attractiveness of the university for applicants. I would like to be proud of my high school that they are developing jetpacks in the canteen, talking with jetpack engeneers in the dining room, and on an open day or September 1 to enjoy flying around the main building.
Houston, I have a problem ...
PS
For those who are for the first time, we have been developing for a year and a half, there is a ready-made working sample with half a burden, we have been conducting human tests since December 2018.
