“What happened you guys!?” is a quote from Southpark character Eric Cartman when he opened up the  Lunocet website this morning. Change is inevitable isn’t it? Especially after listening to an interview with GM vice chairman Bob Lutz who do not subscribe to the global warming theory but also happens to be the project manager of the chevy Volt fully electric car. Humm…let me think about that for a sec. As Stephen Colbert mentioned you can still plug in your chevy electric car for a charge into your Hummer cigarette lighter if you do not believe in global warming.

On the other hand our beloved Lunocet has zero emission and at times zero gravity. So what’s with the design change? Instead of two sections for the trailing edge ,we now have one single piece of silicone rubber, we also increased the durometer to have a more rigid piece which translates into more power.

The newly designed “center jet” (the piece that links the footplates and the silicone trailing edge) lower the footplates resistance and makes for better hydrodynamics. Foot pockets now come closer to the end of the toe plate allowing a better power transfer. Faster,better,stronger.

There are more tricks to it than this but I feel some mystery shall remain until we release the new video.

Stay tuned for more!

First apply 7500 psi of pressure to a carbon fibered waterproof foam, heated at very high temps. Then pull the piece out of the top secret aluminum anodized mold. Wait a few minutes to let the piece cool down. Delicately apply the silicone to the trailing edge area of the carbon fiber hydrofoil. Press it again at high temp in the next mold. And… voila! your Lunocet hydrofoil.

Repeat operation twice to obtain one serving for one adult lunosapien.

A brand new mold got machined today for the modified Lunocet design. The fine-tuning continues …..
