  • OK, Technocreep, how does this vehicle that is so dependent on air, travel through space, where there is of course no air???

  • Who ever said this was meant to be a SPACE vehicle??? Not I...

  • I thought after 'super jet fighter' these videos cudnt get any more rediculous, I was wrong. Lets consider the forces in the vehicle in the vertical direction, the fan sucks air in, the channels blow air out! These 2 forces would be more or less equal, and since they are opposite forces it means they cancel each other, IT WOULDNT GET OFF THE GROUND! The classic example of this is hypothetically standing on a boat, blowing into the sail, it is impossible to get it to move

  • FAIL!!! Nice try though. You already have vehicles that operate on this principle, pulling air in from the side and blowing it down toward the ground.. called a Helicopter. This is simply an advanced design... Dont think I'm wrong just b/c you didn't understand the video... LOL @ crossey83 (even your username says you're crosseyed, cant see clearly..) LOL

  • ok, so what's to stop the compressed air coming out of the jets from just going right back into the fan? Wouldn't it be more practical to have the air intake in the top, thus creating a helpful vacuum above the ship?

  • okay...

see all

  • Just as a prop pulls a plane through the air, this prop would pull this craft DOWN, at best it would neutralize the air leaving the holes around the edges, no lift! It would be better to have the fan pull air in from above and direct it out the smaller holes around the edges, that might work. A helicopter pulls air from above and pushes it down, not from the side.

  • Why don't you just fuck off and stop being a moron, how the fuck does a helicopter pull air in from the side!? It sucks air in from the top, and blows it down. Centripetal forces are actually created by outward sideway airflow, hence a stabiliser on the tail (what happens when a helicopter loses its tail, it spins!) All you have done in this vid is; take the principle for a hovercraft and tried to get it 'not' to work. Fucking imbecile, once again stop wasting people's time!!!

  • My last response to you was kinda harsh! Sorry. @1unread

  • If you truly hated freedom of speech, you wouldn't be exercising it, as you've done here!!! IDIOT!!!
