hi all, I am new to the forum as you've probably guessed. this is probably the last thread i'll ever start, and I am probably about to make a tit of myself cause i don't really know anything about physics but..
im starting to wonder why nothing seems to be available to buy, that will simply allow you to travel through the air, not too high up, not very fast. just gentle flying. I've looked up flying bikes, all I find is things similar to gyro coptors. all big structures that seem expensive..
would it not be relatively simple to have something you grab onto, press a lever, and you're propelled forwards..? do rocket packs and backpack propellers actually exist? or are they just from cartoons?
i was watching a documentary once with a guy traveling around a desert. He had a bike with propellers that spun when he peddalled and allowed him to hover a good few feet off the ground whilst traveling about 15mph. but ofcourse there was no emphasis on this in the programme, i rememeber thinking wow, where could i get one of those?!
cars are so inconvenient and you have to stick to roads, not to mention all the laws with it. planes and helicoptors are too big and you need licenses, lots of lessons, and a lot more money.
i just want a simple way to cross 4 about miles of cornfields between me and me girlfriend instead of having to drive the road route which is about 8 miles with my car that's falling to bits and costs too much in petrol.:uhh:
and don't say walk.:tongue: i look forward to any responses/discussions raised
