or where to buy something that can melt metal


If he can't even think of what to call an instrument that melts metal... He can't use it. Aside from the fact his 'plans' are ridiculous. Funny link there, Aga.

you can take them off a bigger jet to use it as a model for a smaller jet to put on the bottom of a jet board the flame from the jet can come out about 3 to 6inches off the ground. in the jet you can put co2 and a propane bottles on it to shoot out together into a small flame the co2 is for take off it evens the fire out that way you won't start a fire on the ground when you get to about a foot the co2 stops coming out and it's just the fire from the jet


The man deserves a Nobel prize for that!

The more I read the posts, the more I'm hurting myself with bellowing laughter..

I call it the jet board but its the sky board its just an idea that I had. you put small jets on the bottom small jets on the sides to turn. small jets on the back to go foward. small jets on the front to stop.
you could put one or two depending on how fast you want to go and your feet mount on the board with straps that way you dont fly off the board.
have a control that straps on like a watch and it has a mesure ment of how high
you could go. you could go up to 8 feet that way you don't run into somthing and you could go above it. you control the speed by pressing the way you want to go like you push forward twice to go two miles an hour. you could set your speeds for how fast you want to go and you can go as fast as you want without it breaking the board into pieces but the top speed is like 15 to 30 miles an hour. it would have a stop botton to slow down then if you press it again it stops. but you have to wear a helmet knee pads and elbow pads to ride the jet board

i think people would like the board but you have to be 16 and older to buy it and have a drivers licence and I.D to get it.

if scientist can't make hover boards that would be another idea that they could try.

A lot of plans that look like this:
quote:
Take a leaf blower, and remove the long tube.
Make a platform out of plywood - maybe use tyre inner tubes.
Attach the leaf blower to the plywood.
You can't go further than you have extension cords for the leaf blower.

He'd need to stick one in his mouth, to light off when he wanted to slow down.

Probably not. In many instances we used words of more than one syllable.

Agreed! Proper punctuation is not just your right, it's your responsibility, especially if you're using it in a post poking fun at someone else's lack of it;

I didn't know that the thing was on display in SF.
