GYROMEGA Unveils The Thrust Powered VORTEX on Kickstarter

HOUSTON, Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Never before has a gyroscope been powered by thrust from an electric ducted fan motor. These are the same types of power units you find in remote control jet aircraft flying at over 200 MPH. This power has now been harnessed and engineered into a compact package that you can run on your desk.

The new VORTEX is a small but immensely powerful package, turning at over 2,700 RPM, while maintaining an impressive stability duration of over 30 minutes on a single charge. To achieve this level of performance, the VORTEX utilizes an electric ducted fan unit, driven by a powerful 20,000 RPM, 6 volt high torque brushed motor turning a 6 blade 50mm high performance impeller. The VORTEX electric ducted fan drive system is combined with four 900mAh rechargeable NiMH batteries to deliver maximum power and achieve exceptional gyroscopic rotational speeds.

"In order to attain this degree of performance, we had to reimagine the way gyroscopes function and create a completely new method of power," said Jeff Helms, Founder and CEO of GYROMEGA.  "We developed our patent pending Vectored Thrust Propulsion System, which is the technology at the center of the action and allows you to experience the power, speed, and endurance that is engineered into our unique gyroscope design."

This level of performance requires a strong design and advanced materials. The VORTEX is manufactured using polycarbonate, which is the material used to create bulletproof glass. For extreme performance with added refinement, there is the VORTEX Elite, which is manufactured in CNC'd aluminum, delivering the precision commonly found in high tech racing engines. For those who demand extreme performance, refinement and exclusivity, there is the VORTEX Elite Limited Edition series. GYROMEGA has taken the VORTEX Elite and stepped it up by plating the major components in brilliant nickel, combining performance, precision, and beauty. For ultimate exclusivity, there is the VORTEX Elite Limited Edition Kickstarter only Gold Series. Only 25 of these elegant gold plated instruments will be made, which creates the most exclusive and exciting desktop display gyroscope available anywhere.

Everybody likes customization, so GYROMEGA has made it simple for to personalize the VORTEX to suit your personality. The unique design of the VORTEX allows you to interchange the intake manifold with different intake designs, creating an even more unique gyroscope. One of the most unique features of the VORTEX is it mesmerizing lighting display. The VORTEX can put on an extreme light show using its 5mW Red Mini Laser and two 5mm RGB Fast-Blinking Color-Changing LEDs. The VORTEX is designed to stand up on either end, which means the intake can pull air in from above and blast it out as thrust toward the surface, or you can flip the VORTEX over and have it spin upside down, casting its laser light show onto your walls and ceiling!
