Hi guys,
this is an opportunity to put in a dream of mine which I've been fostering for over 25 years. Long story short: How do you feel about a vehicle which basically maneuvers like a helicopter, using four small rotors, and which is floated with helium tanks to a degree of about 80% - making it a heavier-than-air "mini-blimp", whose weight is reduced by the helium tanks to such an extent that four modest rotors, powered by only one, centrally mounted pressurized-air driven motor and a motorcycle chain, suffice to lift it.
It would be like the Jetsons, but come true with low-tech available even to the Victorian age - well, not quite, but make it Edwardian. So, this is not difficult to do. I'll try to add a pic to make it clear (may take a while, it's at home).
