    Sky infrastructure for drones and eVTOLs

    The problem The numerous urban air mobility startups are struggling to create eVTOLs that would be (a) practical and (b) accepted and adopted. The former is primarily limited by battery capacity and range, and the latter – by regulatory barriers. Various solutions have been proposed and tried, but what if they’re looking in the wrong…

    🔦 Flashlight UX: Stop Overloading the Button

    Problem Modern LED flashlights are incredibly powerful — and strangely hard to use. To turn one on or off, you might: Under stress or in the dark, users don’t want to remember interaction patterns. They want certainty. The root issue isn’t electronics. It’s interface overload. 💡 The Core Insight A single button is doing two…

    ONE VTOL

    This is the first post produced by Inspiradrome’s prototype AI pipeline. The original user’s prompt is as follows: Upon observing the recent eVTOL craze, I thought: it looks like all the numerous startups are, to use a sci-fi analogy, firing their blasters randomly at the shield (i.e. trying to surmount the bureaucratic/financial/social barriers), without any…

    Founder Defence Force

    Founders are not just after getting rich – they are trying to change the world for the better. Often being young and inexperienced, they face significant and often unnecessary challenges on their journey to make our lives better, and so deserve support!

    Ethical Inbox Assistant

    In today’s hyperconnected world, it is easier than ever to reach out, but it is hard to get the message across. You pour effort into outreach – a thoughtful email, proposal, collaboration offer – and then… silence. Not rejection, not acceptance, just a complete lack of response. We’re not complaining, we’re going to fix that!…

    Empathetic hiring AI assistant

    Ever looked for a job? The process has arguably improved over the years, but we can still do better! Generic rejection emails (or a complete lack thereof), undecipherable job descriptions, selection criteria impossible to address while retaining one’s sanity – all of that could be improved if recruiters got help from a dedicated AI assistant.…

    Car-sized personal ekranoplan project

    A team in Russia has developed an ekranoplan prototype (Russian ekranoplan – that would be new!) that can make waves in the industry! It is robust, and just the right size to appeal to private buyers. It’s powered by an automotive engine and has 600kg capacity, 150km/h cruise speed, and folding wings for easy transport.…

    Hackathon Notebook

    Hackathons and innovation workshops generate a burst of creativity – countless ideas fly, but only a few grow into working projects. Most ideas fade away, not because they’re bad, but because they’re forgotten. A centralised repository (like Inspiradrome) helps, but there is also an effective low-tech solution: Hackathon Notebooks distributed to participants in gift packs.…

    Global Atmospheric Laboratory

    We’ve had space stations in orbit, we have the Castle in the Sky… oh wait, that one’s fictional! But what if it wasn’t? Introducing Global Atmospheric Laboratory – an airship laden with scientific instruments, it harvests moisture from the air and uses solar energy to hydrolyse hydrogen and stay aloft indefinitely, roaming around the globe.…
