It slices! It dices! It even juliennes french fries! Okay, so maybe it doesn’t do all those things, but they’re trying to make it look like something out of a James Bond film. Or at least, the poorly drawn images indicate that. I can’t believe that they’d expect anyone to take them seriously with this stuff, but I can’t find anything on the site to indicate that it’s a gag.
With graphics that cheesy, it’s got to be true!
Sweet! It looks like Anti-Gravity will be an option in the later models. Hmm and my car only offered leather seats and power windows…
This must be a gag, right? I mean, they say they use the “most simplest” engineering theories, it has sensors to “avoid bumping into unintentional objects” (what the hell is an unintentional object?!), and the tires can be changed on all for sides (most cars only have tires on 2 sides, right?). They say the “marketing posibilities are endless”, so much so that you can “make an infomercial about it”. Heck, it even has a parachute for “emergency landings”. Yeah, like that would do alot of good!
Also, in order to hover a car, assuming a mass of 1,000 kg, and an air density of 1.2 kg/m^3, you would have to compress 833 m^3 of air per second!. Assuming four nozzles of .33 m^3 diameter, that equates to pushing the air at 223 m/s (F=ma=1000 kg * 9.8 m/s^2=Cd A rho V^2=1.5 * .109 * 1.2 *V^2). That’s alot of air, moving very fast. I don’t think a motor/generator-internal combustion engine can support that. At least not one mobile enough so the whole contraption is under 1,000 kg. IMHO.
(Please excuse the poor equation formats. Also, 1.5 was picked as a drag coeficient to help the guys out a bit. Anticonservatism, if you will.)
I believe that’s when “penis ensues.”
:rolleyes:
They have just deposed the Moeller Aircar as my favorite aviation crap to dis online.
Woo! they have a rocket too, you know, for space travel:
“The Smith Rocket relies on a combination of rechargeable properties that connect to a motor. The motor is connected to a generator that provides and endless loop of electricity to either a propeller or a compressor for thrust.”
Perpetual motion/free energy!
Remind me again how a compressor or propeller is going to work in a vacuum?
