Meet Aqua Ray

Posted by Ali S. in Arts & Crafts, Science & Tech, Video Clips on June 2, 2008 at 7:09 pm


Ok, now we we’re all acquainted with Air Ray, right? Well, meet it’s baby watery cousin Aqua Ray by Festo! Mimicking the movement of its larger real life counterpart (the Manta Ray) the Aqua Ray has the ability to realistically swim, dive, and turn like the real thing. From the video you can gauge the size of the Aqua Ray when you see the diver next to it. Tiny and adorable! I want to buy a carton full of these and put them in an Olympic sized pool and swim in it.

    Cute, but somehow doesn’t project the graceful majesty of the real thing.

    Having swam with the real thing in the Great Barrier Reef, I agree with elfi21.. save your money and come down to Australia.. you’ll be much more impressed when you see a 5 meter Manta swim underneath you!
    I’ve got pix if anyone is interested!

    It’s remote controlled, not free roaming… bummer!

    @ elfi21 and R00B0y

    Oh, I would love to travel to Australia to see this stuff. Just need the cash? ;)

    @ Ashley

    Don’t worry one person can swim and one can control it! While Strauss’ “Blue Danube” plays.
