That's cool. Crazy how technology is advancing and Australian :-).

If i can make one smaller enough to power my jet with 10 pulses a sec

There is an MAAA MOP for operating pulse jets
But they won't run under the 80 dB noise limit

Interestingly enough the engine on the V1 was rated at around 600 HP

Had to share this one with you all.
Those Chinese are clever thinkers!

Clever idea but I can see lot of problems with that !!
Perhaps some of them can be overcome.

You could write a book on the problems with it, but I don't like to be negative when someone comes up with a good idea!

I wasn't trying to be negative, I was just thinking about how to get a semi trailer or a cement mixer underneath it.
It could be an interesting excercise.

It was a very nicely done animated clip and I thaught the design of it was asthetically pleasing. It may well work in China but out here we have a lot of high vehicles. I guess you could just make the thing higher.

It would be extra interesting in places like the bridge or windsor rd where lanes change from being north bound to south bound. Imagine old farmer fred in town, visiting from out Cobar way and suddenly seeing that roaring towards him at 80ks comming up Windsor rd. It's be a classic ! He'd be shaking the chunks out of his trouser leg after that one!!

Sorry mate, I was not suggesting you were being negative.
You could always reverse the concept and build a bus with an up ramp at the back and a down ramp at the front, that way we could just drive over the the top of bloody things ever time they stop, that way they wouldn't need their own friggin lane then. It would certainly make travelling to work a bit of an adventure... personally I would drive in the left lane so I could scream over the suckers.

Here we have a new 3d printed lipo battery . the size of a grain of sand . video included in link .

Always wondered why they haven't developed systems like this, Would save a stack of fuel in the morning queue for the runway!

a series of short 4 min videos on time , from 1 second on earth to deep time and beyond .well its on the same site as the chinese space flight .
