They seem like a neat concept. But seems 60 kph is terribly slow. I imagine a Go-ped would outrun it.

Also, did you read the psi ratings of the tanks? Imagine if one of those were to burst somehow. Be similar to a missile.

I've been thinking of making a little air powered device lately myself, but on a much, much smaller scale.
