Hi,
My name is david and i was wondering if you would be able to see if my theory works. I don't know anything about physics but i do have a good inventive imagination.

I want to know if you had 8-10 air compressors at maximum pressure and a 7m hose and nozzle fore each compressor attached to you feet and some sort of thrust system would you be able to fly? I have put a lot of thought into this and just wondering if you would be able to correct me in this theory.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
FYI, air compressors and fans are fundamentally the same thing, but with a slightly different focus (one emphasizes pressure, the other flow rate). A fan used to lift a person is a helicopter.
 
Um...its called Iron Man lol (awesome movie btw)
