They need to make a belt that doesn't release until props stop spinning, save for emergencies, or a prop extender on landing so people aren't getting their necks chopped off. Nice to see.
Ok, now mass-produce them with a cage around the blades and a reserve parachute for extra precaution, a muffler so it's not so loud, a bigger fuel tank for extended flights and a more comfortable seat. You can probably even build a plastic dome around the pilot, making it safe for flying through the rain and for better comfort. Then sell them at an affordable price, and you got a new company worth billions.
I've spent hours trying to find out where this man got the parts to build this. Looks to me like a counter-rotating blade assembly and a large leaf blower engine of some sort... kinda dangerous, but it's awesome and I'd feel safer in that then a sport bike!
I like a lot of things about this one. The counter rotating blades keep you from spinning out. All the weight is at the bottom, so you can't get it way out of shape. It needs a blade guard though!
you're so right i've seen many of these personal choppers and they never come out of ground effect. also no one seems to have the balls to actually go fly the thing somewhere. i can get the same result as he did on a tarzan swing.
u know to make this more user friendly?add a guard that stops objects as big as the helmet type you require already with the craft.if this could last a lot longer and have like a sac hooked up for cargo with like a wirechain and enough slack to land a few feet away if you need to.antimatter powered?it may be a microscopic crumb that equates to like as much fuel to travel 40 miles.i know people think if itll be too dangerous,but itll be above people between a column of steel to reflect into space
Very cool! I wonder what happens in a hard landing? Slip to the left a little right before hitting and your head would be thrust up into the blades. Yikes.
Gees the head would be buzzing for a few hours after that flight. Concept seems plausible. Personally I would prefer three (triangulated) dual-rotors. More stable. And seat the pilot lower for even more stability. Oops the cost just jumped 4-fold. If a motor blows I'm screwed either way.
Cau'se these guy's didn't have enough money to develope their idea, and didn't get a grant because, they've done crashed their original, and probably dead.
No it doesnt, There isnt one point in this video where the blades have more than idle power except when his right hand is on what must be the throttle lever on the right control post, and he stears it by moving the two control posts which angle the whole engine and blades. thats why it isnt ridged. He is the pilot.
Wonder why all these one man helicopters don't go higher than 5 feet? I'd love to see these guys with their flying one man helicopters do a autorotation :-
naw! too crazy! the vibrations on his head must leave him with a head ache that lasts for weeks after each flight. not to mention one false move and your left without a head!
Smallest of these I have seen yet. Interesting, but it seems to struggle to get out of ground effect. I can only imagine the noise level for the pilot. (Could you autorotate in one of these if the motor failed??)
apparently more problematic in terms of swashplates... but coaxials are sick. I am currently looking into building a similar device and am still trying to figure out the physics behind it. This thing looks like a lawnmower hat. I am confused how such a small engine can provide the required force to overcome the 800 N needed to lift a human being from terra firma. If anyone got some ideas or knowledge hit me up ... it would be appreciated
Wait!!! I can see your house from up here!! Why is it getting bigger???? WAIT, IT'S MY HEAD FALLING TOWARDS EARtH!!!! If I cut power maybe I can catch it before it hits the ground :)

Basically hang glider control bars plus yaw. Brilliant design!

I had this crazy dream last night where me and my brother were flying around with these.
I have a Popular Science from the 60's and 70's where a French man built one of these....it works.
Dude got to watch his head... hope that's one hard-ass helmet.
It's like a lawn mower, only it mows little kids playing in the street instead of grass.

Like fire marshall bill says: Are Ya jokin? I wouldn't be near that thing for a second! it's a potential hazard! very..... very...... DEADLY!!!!
He must be wearing some seriously heavy duty ear plugs!

thats the future of moving from point A to point B
I'd probably put a wire cage around the blades and the noise there right next to his head must be ungodly - but I still want one!
Who needs a ticket for Glastonbury with one of those things?
strings? oh yeah strings coming down from the sky- nice one buddy
All he has to do now is design one that pops out of a hat like the one inspector gadget has
OMG a helicopter that goes 15 feet into the air!! That's awsomeness right there
you're so right i've seen many of these personal choppers and they never come out of ground effect. also no one seems to have the balls to actually go fly the thing somewhere. i can get the same result as he did on a tarzan swing.
That looks nice, safe and- OH MY GOD I HAVE TO BUILD ONE FOR MYSELF.
Except I'd make a chair.
The "Fantacopter" by Franquin, this is a belgian comic's drawer idea, from the album "Spirou et les héritiers", 1952!
Search it in google!
This is a very dangerous way to get a haircut
Gotta be a one-off. Notice the proximity of the kill switch to the rotor blades...
That is an awesome ride to work!
he looks lide a fly in the fan!
There is no tail rotor, as you can clearly see in the video. The whole point of a coaxial helicopter is that you don't need a tail rotor.
NO FREAKING WAY !!! I want one so bad. Atlanta traffic SUCKS!
omg thats scarey!!!...one nasty gust of wind is going to put that thing on its side, and that REALLY wouldnt end well for the pilot.
If you mass produced, it would be cheaper then a scooter.
u know to make this more user friendly?add a guard that stops objects as big as the helmet type you require already with the craft.if this could last a lot longer and have like a sac hooked up for cargo with like a wirechain and enough slack to land a few feet away if you need to.antimatter powered?it may be a microscopic crumb that equates to like as much fuel to travel 40 miles.i know people think if itll be too dangerous,but itll be above people between a column of steel to reflect into space
the pilot is standing on the ground, with a remote control.
secondary effect: lost capacity to hear
Possibly the world's noisiest hat.
A True Propeller Head!
If you crash this thing, you surely have got a bad hair day..
If he were tilted to one side when he landed, oops...
"Off with your head."
Very cool!
I wonder what happens in a hard landing? Slip to the left a little right before hitting and your head would be thrust up into the blades. Yikes.
real life inspector gadget
Engine failure=Major headache.

Lighter pilot and bigger tank would beat the rush hour at least. ;-)
looks like the Inspector gadget lol

That guy will chop himself to shreads if it crashes....
The problem with those is if out of fuel or engine fail at height -your dead....
great for stealth missions
Looks like a death machine, what happens if you hit a gust of wind? there goes your head
Until the wind picks up and throws you into a building. No thanks... : /
But, funny enough, on a calm day, I would try it. :)
Superb ! But needs safety gadgets put in place.
hand up and wave dad!
that'll last me from work and back for a week. lol.
id get it!
thats one hell of a beenie!! lol!!!!!
Wonder why all these one man helicopters don't go higher than 5 feet? I'd love to see these guys with their flying one man helicopters do a autorotation :-
if you shift your weight too much your're screwed.. damn noisy too!!
naw! too crazy! the vibrations on his head must leave him with a head ache that lasts for weeks after each flight. not to mention one false move and your left without a head!
wow! If the straight bars were bent foward and then bent back to the pilot with a cross bar it would be easier to control!!!
this will have to do untill they make an efficient jetpack
@Versgolem No harness either. It looks like it would be ridiculously easy to fall off of that thing.
NOW INTRODUCING THE HEADACOPTER
EUREKA!!!
honey, ive built a CHOPPER for you!!!
how much does everything plus man weigh together?
Introducing the decapi-copter!!!
Orville and Wilbur would SHIT THEIR KNICKERS!!!!
yao ming wouldnt want one
Smallest of these I have seen yet. Interesting, but it seems to struggle to get out of ground effect. I can only imagine the noise level for the pilot.
(Could you autorotate in one of these if the motor failed??)
dear santa....
SPEACIAL: buy this helicopter and get free hair cuts for life!!
hmmm, interesting. Your head is the swash plate.
@Spxder I believe that's already been invented. IT'S CALLED AN ACTUAL HELICOPTER......
looks like a helicopter hat... hmm... got to get to work on that
Gives me a headache just watching it....
That guy is fucking awesome...
In Soviet Russia, lawn mows you.
Inspector Gadget
personal HeadChopper
that looks fun!
Cool & small & simple. Practical? I'm not sure... it's more like a toy
that would be impossible there is no place the "strings" could be mounted with out the blades slicing them
do you see any controls in his hands? the throttle flips before he even touches the thing.
Go go gadget copter!
where to buy the helics/blades for the rotor?
I made a 1-hz aerocicle and do not know where to buy now X:
Patricia Teixeira
looked like he was hanging by his head
this sounds alot like a lawnmower engine:P
Only bad thing is that his head is to near the blades...
it's the beanie hat from hell lol
its like dropping a rock
That is too cool!!!
apparently more problematic in terms of swashplates... but coaxials are sick. I am currently looking into building a similar device and am still trying to figure out the physics behind it.

If anyone got some ideas or knowledge hit me up ... it would be appreciated
Yeah man I LIKE that .......
hahaah that looks very safe!
autorotate? where did you get that information from? everyone knows its coaxial.
En voila un qui n'a pas peur de s'envoyer en l'air! Wow!!!
Wait!!! I can see your house from up here!! Why is it getting bigger???? WAIT, IT'S MY HEAD FALLING TOWARDS EARtH!!!! If I cut power maybe I can catch it before it hits the ground :)
he's using the bar that he is sitting on to control the pitch of the blades right ?
Ah remember the Beenie copter??????
Does anyone know what engine that is or where I can get one?
Holy-Terrorist:>*=* Very cool technology !
anyones know what RPM this would be running at, and what kinda engine ?
Amazing helicopter. If the engine run out, may it land on auto-rotation?
