Hovering with 8 motors

Friday, September 23, 2011

A farmer in China managed to hover in the air( about 3.3 feet high ) for 10 seconds with this device he made with 8 motorcycle motors. And I have been asking myself, "why". Seems like waste of good motorcycle motors. But come to think of it, According to this article, China currently allow people to own the same motorbike for only 11 years. After that, you have to scrap it. No vintage bikes in China, y'all!
I guess it is a part of the main reasons why they produce so many motorcycles and coming up with smaller displacement new models there. Harley is having hard time selling bikes there though the market is the biggest.

By the way, did you notice this farmer using so many zip ties? You should have some in your bike tool bags, too. Comes in handy when you have to kidnap someone, you know?
