Startup inks $65M deal to help Air Force make ‘sustainable’ jet fuel on bases
Air Company, a startup that turns carbon dioxide into things like perfume, vodka, hand sanitizer and aviation fuel, is now on the U.S. Defense Department’s payroll, so to speak. The JetBlue and Toyota-backed company struck an up-to $65 million deal to help the Air Force capture CO2 and turn it into “sustainable” aviation fuel on […]

Reimagined Jet Ski Brings EVs To the Beach
There’s only one problem: Powered or not, a hydrofoil takes some practice and patience to learn to ride in a standing position, especially for people with no surfing or wakeboarding experience, or so-so balance skills. To solve that, Schlinkmann’s invention adds a boom-mounted canard and rudder ahead of the rider to keep the craft airborne and steady without a rider having to constantly expend energy and adjust body position. Add a trusty set of handlebars, says Schlinkmann, and the HydroBlade handles more like a vehicle with which most of us are familiar: a bicycle. Making the experience somewhat like riding a bike, he says, helps ease the intimidation factor and boost appeal for people of all ages and abilities. […] The design began to take shape around 2020. Schlinkmann pulled the engine and other ICE guts from his old Jet Ski and studied how he could make it electric. He realized a conventional electric Jet Ski might only have a 15- or 20-minute runtime on a single charge, which wasn’t good enough. But after riding a few eFoils, the idea came together. For the HydroBlade, a pair of permanent-magnet radial-flux motors drive dual propellers at a peak 16 kilowatts (21 horsepower). They’re fed by two battery packs, with a combined 600 cylindrical 2170 NCM cells and a total 11 kilowatt-hours of energy — about eight to 10 times the capacity onboard a typical eFoil. A separate 1.6-kW charger can refill batteries in about 4 hours.

Our pick: Acer Swift X creator laptop (AMD Ryzen 5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD)
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
Ultra-thin and lightweight, the Acer Swift X deceptively houses killer specs for creators, including an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, GeForce RTX 3050 graphics, and 512GB of storage. Our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) said it gives you “two-thirds the power of a basic mobile workstation laptop in two-thirds the weight.” It’s also got an 85.7% screen-to-body ratio and a full HD 1920 x 1080 IPS display for a true visual representation of your work. At full price ($949) it’s already decently affordable, but Amazon knocked the price down to an all-time low of $649, making this laptop a steal.

Our pick: Amazon Halo View fitness tracker
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
More traditional than its sibling the Amazon Halo, the Halo View has an actual touch display that lets you view health data and phone notifications. You can track workouts, keep track of your heart rate, sleep, and blood oxygen levels, and even pair it with the Halo app for features like checking your body fat percentage or analyzing your voice tone to see how you sound to others. And of course, as an Amazon device, it’s Alexa-compatible, so you can ask your favorite voice assistant to give you updates on your fitness metrics. It’s regularly $79.99, but you can use the code HALOVIEWFEB to snag it on sale for $34.99, which matches its all-time low Black Friday price.

Best floor care deal

Our pick: Samsung Jet 75 Pet cordless stick vacuum
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
It may not be a Dyson, but the Samsung Jet 75 is a comparable lightweight, maneuverable stick vacuum that gets you a little more bang for your buck. It’s less than half a pound heavier than the Dyson V8 Fluffy, which is our top pick for an affordable Dyson, and comes with fewer accessories. But in just about every other way, the Jet 75 comes out on top (bin size, power, battery life, and of course, price). With this Amazon deal, the Jet 75 is only $249 instead of the usual $399. That’s 38% in savings for a limited time.
