A couple of more videos…

Two more Space Elevator themed videos I’ve found on YouTube…

The first is an interview with Jason from Team Skyhook.  I think they were going to compete in the initial Power Beaming competition, but as I wasn’t there, I’m not sure.  The video is recent (April of this year) and talks about an Engineering Expo last year and the SPACE ELEVATOR PROGRAM at the University of Idaho.  Really?  A program dedicated to this?  I will be sending him an email, for sure.  The video is basically a promo piece for the University…

And the other video I have for you today is one from (I think) Israel.  I think this is a beam-powered climber, but I’m not sure.  It’s about a year old.

It’s amazing how many videos are on YouTube that are found by using the term Space Elevator but are not really related to what we’re interested in…
