How far-fetched is the idea, to use a propeller or jet engine
(radio controlled type?) to push an in-line skater? How does aircraft takeoff thrust compare to using a conventional motor and wheel to push oneself along the ground? What sort of incline would be achievable at say a skater weight of about 160 pounds? I think the rolling resistance can be assumed to be zero or maybe the same as a small aircraft. Anybody know about Everglades/marsh air powered boats? Maybe I should do a little research on that one. One thing for sure, if there ever is such a thing as a jetpack, it will very easily push an in-line skater before it will lift a person off of the ground. Thanks. -- (Crossposted, please feel free to remove the other group) |
