That's pretty cool. Fuel cell? Help me understand this. mk

The fuel is cryogenic? Like -253 degrees centigrade? How does it stay cold?

Or is it just pressurised gas?

Goedendag (a Dutch word),

I would have posted English/American sites if they existed. No doubt this German project will sparc some ideas outside of Germany and we'll see similar sites in the 'language of the world'. Those *&^%$# Germans are just to modest, they need a Dutchman to spread the word. Use

English is perhaps the most commonly used language on Usenet, the Internet, and the WWW. If there is a `universal language' for these things, it would be English.

However, English is *not* the language of the world, and it's incredibly arrogant for an English speaker to suggest that.

And besides, even if you don't understand the language, you can always gawk at the pretty pictures!

`10 bar pressure' suggests pressurized gas.

Looks like a fuel cell too.

Neat concept.

Goedendag ;-)

It can fly for 6 minutes, it is said somewhere in the videos. At 1,1kg the fuel cell is pretty heavy, it can be made much lighter.

It was pretty interesting in German too.

Engllish is an interntaional language, but it's not the language of the world.

You could also try learning a 2nd or 3rd language yourself. It's not quite as easy as you seem to imagine.

It may not be perfect (far from it, in fact) but it's more fun than some TV comedy shows:-)

I was over in your neck of the woods last month Ron. It rained the whole time and I couldn't get out quickly enough, although I did try :-) 148mph along that road they've built in the north of Holland connected to two peninsulars going to Leeuwarden/Groningen. Water both sides, water coming down from above and only lightning to illuminate the way:-)

We are having lovely weather here in September, somebody up there must have switched August and September.

Good thing the police did not see you, you would have had to hand over your car to them. Verrrrry stiff fines ...

Actually no, a bar is 100,000 Pascal's (the SI unit of pressure), an atmosphere is 1.013 25 bar chosen as the average sea level pressure in Paris.

Damn! All my calculations were off by 1.325%. I've got a lot of errrata to publish.

Thanks.

Well, I think the thing is pretty damn good!!

A lot of modellers have enough trouble with their 100 year old technology engines and 30+ year old technology radio gear.

I think the guy deserves full congratulations and top marks for inventiveness, skill, knowledge and practical application!

Very well done indeed!
