WOW! People commenting here are truly amazingly idiotic. Go and build your own human-powered helicopter and post a video before you talk all that smack about this effort. No, wait... First go to college, study engineering, get a degree, go to grad school, understand advanced concepts of physics, THEN build your own and tell us all how awesome you are. Dumbasses...

I think that this entire story could have been told perfectly adequately in about 90 seconds.

Please note that Windows MovieMaker ships for free with your PC. Check it out. It's pretty easy to use. You just split the clip and throw away the eight minutes of footage of people standing around.......

oh right, its a record because the engine was female? It's impressive, like the last one I saw that was up for 40 seconds? It's still just a ground effect flight not true flight BUT it's an impressive piece of machinery. Lot better then our concrete canoe races but I bet a lot more expensive too. Probably less beer as well. Good job and all.
