Furze is no stranger to building unorthodox inventions. Image Credit: YouTube / Colin Furze
Madcap YouTube boffin Colin Furze has come up with his own homemade drone bicycle that actually flies.
Built from a couple of two-stroke engines and rotor blades, the outrageous contraption is only able to fly a few inches off the ground but is surprisingly stable for something hacked together in a shed.
"It's the most outrageous thing I've ever ridden," said Furze. "Feeling it lift for the first time was such a strange feeling. It only just lifts me off the ground. I tried out all sorts of frames; hacked bits off and added bits on, until eventually I started seeing results."
"Controlling it is a small miracle but with a bit of practice you can learn how to tame it."
Again? http://www.unexplain...e http://www.unexplain...3&hl= hoverbike http://www.unexplain... hoverbike&st=0 This is a completely different device to the ones mentioned in these other articles - different inventor too.
but did you see how pleased with himself he was? He couldn't have possibly looked happier when protected blades almost cut off his legs when he fell....
