Yes Sir James Dyson's air multiplier is a fairly snazzy piece of engineering. It involves a brushless motor which takes in air and feeds it through a combination of technologies used in turbochargers and jet engines resulting in a powerful airflow 15 times greater than the original airflow which entered the machine.
But Mr Dyson I'm afraid you have been out done by the magical minds of the Mabel Love boys. Using technology first explored in 1985 by Dr. Emmett 'Doc' Brown in Back to the future we have created something quite special.
Ladies and gentlemen may I present to you the 'Hover Coat'
Richard Rice showing off the Mabel Love 'Hover Coat'
The coat works on the loose principle of the 'Flux capacitator' instead of needing 1.21 giggawatts of electrical power to make it run our coat needs the skins of nine bananas, 2 cans of cherry coke, 1 snicker wrapper and the bun from a weatherspoons gourmet burger. Mash it all up into a paste then apply to the flux capacitator and boom, we are floating.
The Mabel Love boys are currently in talks with a major retailer about mass production and the coats should be on the roofs of all major stores by winter 2010. The coats will be available in 3 different colours and be priced around £120.
Keep your eyes pealed for further engineering firsts.
