GALLAGHER BLIMP

This pedal powered helium blimp was built for the comedian Gallagher way back in the 70's or 80's. He used to fly it inside huge arenas. A friend of mine and balloon enthusiast, Bill Arras, located it and bought it, so we went out to fly it one day.

Because we are an earthbound species in our native state, flying isn't a natural form of travel for humans, therefore we endeavor to defy gravity by accomplishing the impossible!

IS THIS THE SAME HUMAN-POWERED BLIMP I SAW ON THE PLAYA AT "BURNING MAN 2011" ??

I also planned something but where can I build it?

worthless flying shitbag

It looks to be over built. Is all that structure really needed to support one person?

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology:

(1) Why do we love flying?

(2) Why do we like to ride an ariship?

(3) What is the enjoyment to fly on an airship comparing with that of a commercial jet?

(4) If your home is on an airship, will you like to live in the sky? and, Why?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

The heck with that,I'd try and retro fit a small gas powered motor.Too much work for what is achieved.
