Inventiontime: Jetpack

A jetpack is a powerful invention that lets human beings - or anything else for that matter - fly high above the ground. The tanks blast out hot air that moves people quickly when they turn it on. Attached to all this machinery is two handles, and whatever way you turn them, the jetpack goes.

Because such powerful equipment is packed in such a small container, it might not be a surprise to you that is hard to control.  If you see someone flying over a lake at highspeed, they’ve obviously had years of training and practise, indicating you should not try this at home. Also, always make sure your jetpack is on full power, otherwise the battery could pop its clogs any moment.

As well, as Will Smith (right) applied, a jetpack is an extremely dangerous thing to ride because especially if a child rode one, it could easily go out of control, even for grown-ups.

We here at Toby News really hope you never ride a jetpack for the rest of your life. Don’t.

Ask The Pro

Yo, peeps! It’s me, actor and singer Will Smith, who also secretly uses a jetpack behind people’s backs! Actually, though I look like a pro and am one, it took me 20 years to master the art of the jetpack. Also, didn’t I mention its dangerous? Yeah. Once I was up 1,000 feet above sea level rehearsing my act for my famous TV show, Fresh Prince of Bel-air.

See ya!

Exploring The Great Pyramid Of Giza

By
The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) has many mysteries, all of which will be answered today. Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb over a 10- to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC. The original entrance to the Great Pyramid is on the north, 17 metres (56 ft) vertically above ground level and 7.29 metres (23.9 ft) east of the center line of the pyramid. From this original entrance, there is a descending passage 0.96 metres (3.1 ft) high and 1.04 metres (3.4 ft) wide, which goes down at an angle of 26° 31’23” through the masonry of the pyramid and then into the bedrock beneath it. After 105.23 metres (345.2 ft), the passage becomes level and continues for an additional 8.84 metres (29.0 ft) to the lower chamber, which appears not to have been finished. The horizontal passage continues in the south wall of the lower chamber; there is also a pit dug in the floor of the chamber. Some Egyptologists suggest that th...

All About Artificial Animals

By
When you look at a robot, you probably think of hard surfaces, wires, and knobs. But all that  changed when Fuso’s ElectroBird was put on sale on the 21st March 2020. It is used for reaching hard places in the jungle, or flying miles above the Antarctic to spy on penguins. However, as a bird isn’t the best animal on the planet, the ElectroBird needs help from Planex’s BeaverStructure. The BeaverStructure can help collapsing buildings, using a beaver’s architecural knowledge to guide its way. It can also save animals if they’re going to fall off a cliff, be swept down a water current and much more. Another amazing invention is Planex’s SnakeSlither, a machine that can squeeze into tight gaps and spy on anything. The new upgraded version of SnakeSlither, SnakeBio, can shoot weapons and lasers, handy for stopping criminals. Fuso’s OctoGrip can grasp any surface with ease, and also build machines in less than a day, saving time, strength, and work. Planex’s LeafNurse is good at treatin...

David Attembourgh: Meet The Nature-Famous Man

By
Sir David Frederick Attenborough (born 8 May 1926) is an English broadcaster and natural historian. He is best known for writing and presenting, in association with the BBC Natural History Unit. Here are some interesting facts about him. Prepare to be amazed! He was raised on the campus of University College, Leicester, where his dad was the head teacher. Instead of saying he’s an animal lover, David says he’s fascinated by them.Interestingly, Attenbourgh has never owned a car because he never passed his driving test. He’s also not keen on sending emails, and prefers receiving letters by fax or post. During World War II his parents adopted two Jewish refugee girls from Europe. The only animals Dave doesn’t like are rats! Sir David was rejected from the first job he ever applied for at the BBC, the position of radio talk producer. In 1947 he spent two years serving in the Royal Navy. When Sir David got his first job in television, he didn’t even own a TV! His first programme, called Coe...
