Hi Joe, Wade,
Just buggin ' in here,
Do either of you know Panamarenko !?
He is a Flemish artist, famous for his pseudo- technological designs
of airplanes, racecars and glides.
All perfectly built according to todays mechanic and gravity- laws, but
I wonder if ever one will fly !
He once made a submarine, built too, but don 't know if the thing sank
or not...
All these things were pieces of art no machines, they won 't work !!
Regards,
Kenneth
