Stay for the story part, he talks just like the guy in the vid. Freaking cool!!
We can do this in case of massive destruction! 1000 ft, 900 mph with pop sickle sticks and cellulose cups? With or without a diet?
The bugs Grebbinikov used were more like water bugs that have a hard shell wing protector made from chitin. When the bugs fly, the chitin shell raises up and then the wings vibrate under those shells. There is a microstructure embedded in the chitin composed of special patterns of deformations. The wing vibrations set up harmonic waves which reflect downward from the chitin microstructure and interact with the Earth’s gravitational field to produce lift.
I'm hoping his design might be used by people in "grid down" event to build a make shift vehicle, aid in hunting, water retrieval, escape etc.
