Look, I didn't say nobody was allowed to laugh at this idea. :cool: It's just that batteries are so heavy, and I want to cheat my way into an...
I'm not sure what this would solve, but I "dump" it in here anyways. Helium is too expensive, so we use hydrogen. Hydrogen is not safe, so we...
Kewl.
Why is that a copy-cat design? Many coanda aircraft ideas have two bent wings. In fact, many aircraft have two wings. Are all aircraft...
Daiquiri is right. (And too funny! :P) Inventors really need to be able to explain their thing in the simplest and clearest ways. Simple...
Well, he pasted "CCCP" on his design, so... But few people know he's actually German (not Italian, as you might think).
For sure I like Soviet-WIGs, especially this one, designed by Luigi Colani: [IMG] But sadly my pocket money isn't all that impressive. I'm more...
Mm, I'm not going to move at night. A full day of cruising would be 10 hrs. So average speed would have to be 75km/h (46.6 mph), two days in a...
I thought jetski's swallow fuel. And they're not really made for endurance, right?
Why is it not a viable design? Replace the exotic prop with a normal one, increase wing-length a bit, and add floaters under the wings. Could...
I can refuel after 600km. Are air-cushion types efficient?
Ok, so I have this problem: I have a rather long commute. 1500km from my home to my jobsite. Where I work, we take airplanes. But I don't like...
Jehardiman, again, you're not talking about the coanda effect. The coanda effect only appears when a jet travels over a curved surface and...
Thanks man, this helps.
Why are barges for goods like coal or corn stumpy square boxes, instead of nicely shaped vessels? Does anyone know the exact reason? Is it...
I have my own reasons. I'm in a program to cut deforestation. All the alternatives to wooden canoes are too expensive or too complex. The...
This is only true for aircraft which are entirely based on the coanda effect. What I am suggesting is to use coanda merely for lift. There is...
I've cruised the internets a bit for ferrocement, but a lot of that literature is unreliable, amateurish or very outdated. Does anyone have...
Dude... Neither Ekranoplan nor WIG have anything to do with the Coanda Effect.
Why isn't anyone using the coanda effect to generate lift (like a hovercraft), and to then push forward into ground effect or to hydrofoil? The...
