OddHat Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Fusionman, Fusionman This totally rocks. That it is completely impractical doesn't bother me at all; it remains deeply groovy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Fusionman, Fusionman This totally rocks. That it is completely impractical doesn't bother me at all; it remains deeply groovy. Impractical... I think the fuel costs would be more than made up by the time to and from work... Not to mention the win factor of being the only guy who parks on the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusterBoy Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Fusionman, Fusionman Fusionman said: "I just showed that it is possible to fly like a bird." H'mm, I'd amend that to "Exactly not like a bird at all". Most birds I've seen fly by, y'know, actually flapping their wings, not having a fixed wing on their back and landing by 'chute. Nevertheless, that's really cool - until I get my actual rocketpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Fusionman, Fusionman When I was a kid, we were all supposed to commute by rocketpack by the 21st Century. And where's my flying car?! (But seriously, this guy's flight was majorly cool.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawknight Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Re: Fusionman, Fusionman Go to youtube and try rocket pack. He has a few vids showing him using the pack from a regular parachute drop. Ultimately cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeropoint Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Re: Fusionman, Fusionman It IS cool, but I'd be a lot more impressed if he could take off from the ground under his own power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
