Anonymous Coward User ID: 35040876 United States 02/24/2013 07:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A lot of people think this is a hoax, but it is absolutely real! Here is one of his videos showing the blueprint and how it is powered: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25781251 The man himself admits it was a hoax! "Now Smeets, or shall we say Floris Kaayk, has admitted it was all an elaborate hoax. Wired reports that Kaayk gave a tell-all interview on a Dutch TV show where he said he is really a filmmaker and animator by trade — not a mechanical engineer as he is described on his blog. He also said that this project was part of an “experiment about online media.”" [link to www.theblaze.com] |

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world." "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1545100 United States 02/24/2013 11:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is this is a hoax? No one in the hoax camp has offered explanation for how this was done. Agreed that man doesn't have the energy required to produce enough lift for flight. But if you take 1 man's energy and store that energy for immediate re release does make flying like a bird extremely possible. If it's a hoax then offer reasons to support your claim. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34779146 Remember the original aliens movie ? Actors would get into robotic assist gear that resembled forklifts with arms and legs. The big fight scene in the movie avatar ? that technology exist. Pneumatic and hydraulic systems triggered why human responce. |
