Hope Springs Eternal

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest:
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

-Alexander Pope,

An Essay on Man, Epistle I, 1733

 

 Meet Bob.

 Bob has a dream-- that someday he'll float amongst the clouds.

 So Bob buys an Acme brand personal helicopter.

 He assembles it and straps it on.

 He inserts the chargers into the fuel pack.

 And gets ready to launch.

Hope springs eternal.

Watch a video of the helicopter in action. Motor circuit wired into a 3-12V transformer. Placed on a flat table it actually rumbles around the table pretty quickly.
