interesting video .... from watching it I can see why more detailed info on the components of the Skyze system haven't been made available

I think I get more excited to hear any info from Infinite Skyz, any tid bit is good to hear. Wish they weren't being so quiet about what it can/can't do. Hearing that if someone bumps it, it can send you alert and you can remotely turn on and view the cameras is REALLY cool. I wonder if it would have a 2-way speaker too so you could talk and hear what's being said.

Infinite Skyz is an Apple Business Solutions Partner... cool.

Elizabeth Drake: "Absolutely!"

Jerome agreed with statement that the motors 'bottom end' is
designed to be "strong enough for a turbo".......yea!

Very true, but IAV has been "Turbo Sensitive" from the beginning of their
relationship with Elio....................... http://elioowners.com/threads/the-elio-engine.2588/page-44#post-53716

The 'bottom end' being strong enough for a turbo does fit in with what we have heard before. While we are told that the engine as is currently being developed is not being designed with a turbo in mind and as such may not be able to hold up the added stresses EM has also never shut the door on a turbo version of this engine in the future. We even heard directly from Paul Elio that IAV engineers are working independently on a turbo and that Comau has left space on the production line design for turbo installation.

question from one who isn't a mechanic ... if the bottom of the motor is built strong enough to handle the stress of a turbo, does that automatically mean the top end is also tough enough or does it matter
