Would you ever build your own flying saucer?

I guess they give the money in pounds because it is a UK newpaper? But the guy is actually from Clinton, Michigan and he is building it in his garage. Wow! Even NASA wanted to meet him and they fear that the thing will rip apart when he goes to power it up to sped. So, if we ever hear about an explosion in Michigan from a guy starting up his invention, we will know that the invention failed. I just hope two things. 1. The invention will not fail after how much time and money he has spent. And 2. That if it does fail, that no one will get hurt! Maybe the Mythbusters should get involved. They are all about safety and figuring out if a method will work or not. :)

Wow! What fun! We could all act like kids again. I used to just love the jetsons. Seriously though, I have never dreamed of flying in a car. I am afraid of heights. LOL

I have always been impressed with that level of dedication, but I doubt if he has a hope of seeing his dream come true. There are just too many factors spanning a vast array of subjects for one person to accomplish, and the only chance of success would be for a specialist team to be involved. He is almost certain to appear a fool when the system fails to work. Although in years to come when some of his ideas are incorporated into a working model then he may be accredited with his share of the work and of having introduced a new concept.

I think it would be cool,not sure bout the price of fuel though, can barely afford to run the car now. lol But the idea of being able to fly to some secluded beach and set up for fishing and camping for the night in a area you wouldnt normally be able to reach would be unreal. Hope it happens in my life time.

thsi is a very interesting topic for me as i am related to ar craft and stuff.I had a craze to fly air cafts and see how they flies secially fighter ones.As i am already surving in Air Force so i donot need to spend money for flying.. even they pay me for flying so i thin its kool haan

I think that the spaceship was the result of a wild imagination. That is sometimes the kind of people it takes to come up with the things that we really need in our society, becuase nobody else would come up with the ideas. Even 30 years ago it was amazing concept to build anything that flew by itslef, not to even think of consider it to be the future for society.

I love it. I would like to build my house that looks like flying saucer. All round made of steel and alot of round windows. I wouldn,t have to install windows treatment, all glass will have special coat that absorbs solar energy and is frosty. I am working on my models. Back to the future:)

Not too far from here we had a gas station that was literally in the shape of a UFO (flying saucer). The lights around it would blink. It was pretty cool as a kid! LOL Unfortunately as years went by, not sure why it ever was erected anyways, but it lost its charm to the small town it was in and has since been left to just more or less fall apart. I haven't been in that area in a while so I'm not sure if it still is around.

I think some of the ufo footage we see is man made. There are probably very rich people who just like us, like a good gag. I know that there are people out there who try to build their own spacecaft. Infact one guy was on David Letteman. He bought most of the parts from nasa and russia. There used to be a multimillion dollar contest to see who could be the first private citizen in space, but I forget who was runing it. Most people don't know realize what others are up too until it is on the news, so trust me, There are lots of guys working on flying cars, and eventually, most people will travel that way.

There already exists a flying car. It is not a flying saucer, but an actual aircraft intended to be a family aircraft parked in your garage at your home. The problem with this concept is the amount of accidents which would occur if everyone was just zipping around in any direction whenever they felt like it. It would be a slaughter. Before this invention can be utilized fully, computers are going to have to establish virtual pathways for them in the air and have onboard computers control the vehical. This is further away than the vehical being finished. You can see the protoype and read about this at: http://www.moller.com

Yes!! I always dreamt of building a flying saucer, to fly across the space and explore the space, to befriend aliens and so on... Just before i saw this, i was thinking of a space craft, how could it be built as quickly as possible with all features, so that i could atleast see it in a lifetime. I`m always interested in such things like space travel. Well, keep that aside. I have also dreamt of riding a flying car many times!! What a coincidence!!. But, in my dreams, i travelled through space with an open window car. It was an amusing adventure in my dream. I really could see the speed at which i was taken to a distant unknown location. Wow!, it`s a pleasure to even think of it. Seemed like a Time-Wrap. I also did built a small motor for myself about (1cm x 1cm x 2cm). It was fun to build. I had to wind copper coil slowly, using my engineering calculations... It also worked fine.. some 1000rpm. :-)

I think i have seen that thing on the TV which u r talking abt and i m really very amused by this concept ,i always wanted to fly ,i wanted to be a pilot since from my childhood days ,so i really do get interested in stories like this ,hope so that he manages to build one and that comes into mass production and i earn enough money from mylot to buy that machine.LOL

I would definitely like to build my own flying saucer. But I wouldn't want to spend that much money on it. In fact, I have this idea about electromagnetic propulsion...

ok...i hate the thought flying cars, saucers or whatever flying me in the air. i really really hope this will never be true.

I simply think he is loosing time and money! :D USA already tried an flying saucer like propulsion...it's simply impossible to realize with our technology (maybe aliens can do it..). Flying saucers are so instable, to fly is not a simply thing. The most advanced thing to fly is helicopter or harrier militar plane. Both are so complicated that you can't imagine! My brother is an aeronautical engineer and know all of this very well! To fly is a really difficult thing. How to go on if it it's rotating fast? You must always follow existing physics laws! You need something go behind you that brings you in the opposite direction to advance. Flying saucer can lift only. But it's to difficult to think how they can move in all directions! This is the reason they are stability problems!

Hi There, If i had the means i would build a saucer..I would then use it to fly aroung the world and take my girl friend to all the awsome island on the planet. Wait if i had a saucer i would rather go to the and visit another galaxcy and try and chat up one of the ladies there.. Jokes. have a good day. Kind Regards, Ironmike

Hmmm...interesting...Well he has a very creative mind that's for sure. But, I don't know if I wanted to see people in flying cars...I'm creative but not that creative to build something...

I have been successful in making a small biscuit making plant some 33 years ago & at that time it was the requirement of my family business. The expenditure on it was very little which too was managed with great difficulty.

i tried but not succeed

if i had unlimited funds so hey why not. or i should rather spend my unlimited funds on something that would and could benifical for all mankind of course. dreams dreams, we got to keep our dreams alive eh?
