Title: I have an idea,
Post by: Jasper on March 05, 2010, 10:13:11 PM
but I don't have much engineering under my belt. 

First off:  The "Air Ray"

http://www.festo.com/inetdomino/coorp_sites/en/22ff224c0cba8e40c12572d60033d076.htm

It is a robotic manta ray BLIMP.

I want to invent one that is big enough for people.

Help?

that's sweet...
i imagine it would have to be pretty damned big to carry a person, though...

Hundreds of feet wide, at a guess.

Problem?

Also think you would have to fly it when there is about zero wind.


plus you would have to get peewee herman to provide the voice of the on board robotic navigator's assistant...

I was thinking it would need turbofans and extra fins, but the robotic wing action stays.

Also, that can be done.

Kinda reminds me of this (http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/flight_of_the_navigator_ship_in_sf.gif).

Also, I think it's funny that everyone in the building is just walking around like it's no big deal.

yeah, you missed that movie by a few years.....

i just got the same dissappointed feeling as when one of my cousins friends said something in a story and i responded that it was like that scene in teenwolf when he goes to the store and his eyes glow red as he tells the cashier "i want. a keg. of beer..."

the girl looked at me like i had bird shit on my face.....

oh well...

Divulge the name of the film.  I will watch it.  Anything with Peewee is gold.

It's in the URL:
Flight of the Navigator.
Watch and be horrified at what we used to wear!

Thanks.


If anybody who has any idea how to make this sees this thread, I still need input.

I did not realize Paul Reubens was involved with that film. I haven't seen it in years. Is it as good as I remember it?

I'm 23 and I've seen both of those films. He's just not up to date on culture.

Ah, flight of the navigator.

I'm very surprised you missed that one, Sig. It would be right up your alley.

prepare to be disappointed...
i watched for the first time in a couple decades last year, and the only thing good about it is being reminded of the horrors of men wearing short shorts and those color banded sport socks that i wore when i was about 4 or 5....

I am always prepared for that.  I'm just watching it to assimilate more "cultcha".
