They wrote to me today from Brazil(below) Where H202 is bought?:noidea::
Hello Ramom, is my pleasure contact you in regards of the tip jet, right now we are accepting potential costumers and the list is growing quite well, the basic price will be $ 50 K, but the final price depending in the personal customization, the tip jet is powered by H2O2 ( 50% peroxide and 50% alcohol ) or liquid gas propane.
Options: Avionics auto pilot, where you can plot up to 20 way points to fly and landing, and the HD camera with auto control in the helmet as a option, those equipment costs are not included in the basic price, neither the customized installation.
Here are some details:
Uses environmentally friendly rockets in its rotor tips to set them spinning, no maintenance required.
H2O2 is organic, made from the atmosphere and its emissions are pure, just water.
No engine, no emissions, only steam, any untrained person could fly it after 24 hrs instruction.
Requires no complicated cooling, intake, exhaust, ignition, or hydraulic systems.
The steering system is very simple, as a joy steak.
