Thankfully we've moved beyond the old, lame joke.

You can know everything I do by following the link. I suspect it's a college student's project. You can do a lot with 3D rendering. But I like the overlapping, highly optimized blades. Imagine a pet turtle with that strapped on as a rocket-powered back-pack. "Gamera is really neat..."

And I was thinking charge while parked, consume when driving. Isn't that what full electric cars do? With a light wind-week you could just take a pass past the gas station to taunt them; but with a monster supercapacitor on a trailer in the driveway, after a tornado you could go on vacation.

You have to start with a washing machine.
