I think that this is a cool invention. It is amazing that this group of college engineers can accomplish such a hard thing. I also think that it is amazing that with just a few light weight materials and a few hundred tubes of super glue you can accomplish so much. I think that there are a few problems though. One,near the end of the video when the helicopter had trouble landing. I think this is a hazard because if a this product was released. What would happen if there was a storm or an other problem that caused the need for a landing. If the helicopter had trouble landing then this would be bad or the human inside the helicopter. This is one of the few thing that the engineers should take a into part. The second thing that must be taken into part is wind. If there was wind in the real test that would throw the whole thing off. The helicopter is so light that the wind can swoop is up and carry it away. This is a major problem that could cost them the prize. One other thing that engineers should think about is that the actually helicopter is 9.290304 long so there is no room for moving at all. Over all I think that this is a cool invention with a few problems.
That was AMAZING!!!!!!! The fact that a group of students could make such a light and successful device blew me away. Also, to see those athletes in the helicopter made the mile seem like nothing. It is interesting that the students want to achieve that certain goal, because it seems a bit obscure. It was overall an awesome article, though.
Wow!!!! How is this possible? The engineers at the university were able to create a seemingly impossible invention: the human-powered helicopter. It was amazing that these students had a goal and now they beat it. There are a few problems like Sophia said. For now, maybe this will all change, but only light, strong, pilots are allowed to fly this helicopter. What will make it easier to fly it? Can the engine (human) possibly have more horsepower to make the helicopter fly higher in the air? How can the helicopter be smaller and create the same, possibly a better effect?
I agree with Weston. This is amazing. It is amazing that a group of students could invent a device that could fly in the air and that the students could power it. These machines could be used by military people so that they could just hover over an enemy's territory without being detected. It would also just be a hobby to fly around in a helicopter that you could control
I think that it is possible to achieve this goal but I think that it is very hard. I think that the first problem that they should tackle is staying inside of the ten meter box. I also think that they are going to have to make the craft smaller therefor reducing the weight.
This to me was amazing because my whole family bikes and to see that if we practiced enough this is the kind of power I could generate. This Is very dangerous in many ways because if the craft started drifting it could harm the building, people around or in the building and that pilot. The craft did not seem to have a landing which did not seem so smart to me. The most astonishing thing to me is that the whole contraption was only 80 pounds. That could mean that I could carry it. This is also not very safe because it has no way to steer. I agree with Sofia because if this were to go on sale in the future this would make the environment greener but slightly move dangerous at the same time. Over all this was a great invention and was very cool.
I think the idea of the human-powered helicopter is a crazy yet achievable goal. However, I agree with Matthew that they should make the helicopter much smaller and much lighter. Also, I agree with Sophia that there are many problems with this new invention. If this is to be released on the worldwide market at all, the hazards must be resolved. For example, if the helicopter had trouble landing, it could kill someone. If they want to release the human-powered helicopter out on the market anytime soon, they should stay in the ten foot box. Once they have resolved all issues, they could move out of the ten foot box to the twenty foot box, analyze any problems, and try again and so on and so forth.
Also, releasing the human-powered helicopter on the market now would not be the smartest thing to do, if money was needed, because people would at first be scared of terrorists bombing them in human helicopters, and they would reject the helicopter. However, if the human-powered helicopter were to be gradually introduced to the human civilization, people would accept it as a revolutionary idea.
That was amazing! After all, they are just normal students. The fact that they can build a helicopter, let alone build a helicopter that will meet the requirements of a prize that has been unclaimed for 3 decades...Wow. I mean they used ordinary things to make a extraordinary thing. I mean, we all have seen Superglue (or know what it means) and styrofoam.
I think that they might want to add a little padding to the bottom of the helicopter. This might help the landing be a little bit softer. I don't think they have to worry about wind, because that is such a big factor (it would blow the helicopter out) the whole thing will probably be done inside. I also think that the humans should maybe have a little more protection on, just in case. But then you have weight...
I think that one of the things that might be hindering the students is the strength of the human. If the human is not strong enough, the whole thing fails. Maybe they could somehow make it lighter. Maybe. I don't really know.
Overall, I think they have a good start, but this helicopter needs a bit more work before it can fly.
This is amazing because these students have designed a HELICOPTER that weighs less than me! This is really going to be a big change in our electronic timeline because if we are making human powered helicopters in 2012, who knows what we'll be making by the year 2020?? This is going to motivate a lot of other people around the world to make another evolutionary change to technology. I personally think that the crash was helpful. I think that it is helpful because they had to change the structure anyway because it kept drifting, and I don't think they would have if it hadn't crashed. However, because it did, it was inevitable that they had to re-build some of it, which probably benefited them. Overall I think that this is a huge impact for our modern day technology and that soon enough, we will be able to fly without any big, bulky helicopter, or plane.
That was pretty cool, but in my opinion, useless. What does this do that other things can do easily. But along the lines of reaching ten feet, it is obviously doable. But, as it showed at the end of the video, it can crash. The first time, it got to eight feet, and the second, to 8.6 feet. That is when it crashed. If it goes up .6 feet every time, what if it crashes every time? That is fixing it twice. What they are trying to do, in my opinion, takes a little luck. They cannot make it a lot heavier, or it will be hard to get the helicopter high. But then again, it drifts so much that it is a serious problem. Overall, I think that this was kind of cool.
Okay, I think that we can all agree that that was pretty cool. I mean, making a helicopter that only weighs 80 pounds and is even capable of going off of the ground? That is so awesome! And the fact that a few college students decided to do this together and beat the world record just goes to show us that if you really put your mind to something, you can almost always achieve it. In my opinion though, I don't know if these college students should keep going at this. I know that it is their "passion" to beat the record, but it is dangerous. I mean, the contraption crashed and 8.6 feet, and nearly hurt the person controlling it. Imagine falling from nine or ten feet in the air inside a contraption that is hard to get out of. Personally, I think that it is a big mistake that these people are trying to achieve this inside a gymnasium. They should eb doing this outside. #1 Because it is completely dangerous for people to have be inside something that nearly takes up the whole room, and then trying to fly it while there are other people in the room and there are also steep and bleachers and a hard wood floor. Maybe they could put mats down but still...and #2 because maybe if they tried flying on the grass outside, they would be able to go higher, land softer, and not be so nervous about crashing. But, I just read a little portion of Sophia comment and the bad part about being outside is that the wind could probably swoop the helicopter and eventually it would come crashing down.
Overall, like Emilynne said, these college students have come to great start, but the helicopter needs to be fixed.
Also, what was that pink stuff that was on the helicopter? Was it styrofoam?
I think that it would be cool to run a helicopter by yourself. It would also be tough and only the men in the best physical shape could do it. It is very cool to be able to run it yourself. It seems like this was something waiting to happen.
It was so awesome watching a human powered helicopter fly 8.6 feet in the air. This is an amazing scientific break-through and this will definitely be an amazing project once completed. I want to help build it. And it was so light. I can't even think of what you can do with that light material. It was so brilliant.
Unlike some people I think this contraption could be very useful. It is amazing students could achieve this much. I would LOVE to fly human-powered helicopter. Imagine what we could do. We could fly to school on our helicopters. If we make them safer this could be a breakthrough. I don't know why more people don't know about this. This is unbelievable. Overall, this video was amazing. (Go NPR)
Adding on to my last comment, this could have a lot of risks. The helicopter could fall if someone was not 'light and strong'. It could also be very tiring. Like we saw in the video, it could crash. It needs to be safer before we really put it to use in our everyday lives.
I think that the idea of a human powered helicopter is great. If they are able to improve the design so that it is smaller and more portable, it will be great. The human powered helicopter will be an environmentally friendly way to transport people. The makers had a good start, but if they want it to be something that people use when ever they want, it needs to be smaller. The helicopter propellers need to be slightly smaller if they want the helicopter to be able to move around places more. It is a very good idea, because maybe in the future people could use them as exercise. Hopefully, once they have improved the design, they will publicize it so that more people across the country will know about it.
This was really interesting. This can inspire us to make things as amazing that helicopter even though they were in college and we're in middle school. I think that something they could try for steering the helicopter is a lever that the pilot can turn left and right and up and down, kind of like a joystick on a game. It might sound crazy, but if you attach it and wire it the correct way, it could work. I think that their invention could really mean something to the world, but if it was to fly not in a testing area, then I think they would have to change their styrofoam to something more aerodynamic and easier to control. It is a phenomenal invention and I think that it could really go far. Maybe they can try making some parts lighter and smaller so it will be able to fly higher. I feel like if the pilot is trying to pedal the helicopter, but the parts of the helicopter are weighing it down, it won't reach 10 feet, even though they got awfully close with 8 and 8.6. Again, this was very interesting.
I think that being able to make a human powered helicopter is really cool. I love the fact that it wasn't scientists that did this, but students. I think they should have waited for them to achieve the record before they made the report, because I wanted to see the record broken.
This was pretty cool, but why do we need this human powered helicopter? It is useless, like Nick said. I like how this wasn't teachers or scientists, this was students training to be engineers. I think that they can break the record, but I agree with Ian on how they should have shown the record being broken.
Overall this video was cool, but still... why do we need this? Anyway, if we were going to use it as a real helicopter or plane or something, it would have to be able to fly higher, straighter, and it would have to be less tiring.
I don't think that we should ever use this to fly like a plane does and take people almost across the world, unless those changes are made. These students did a great job.
I agree with Elena and we could make something as cool as them, even at this young age because age doesn't matter.
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I never thought in my life that humans can power helicopters! I never even thought that people would show to a place where they would be asked, "Do want to fly a human helicopter?" I would probably say yes. When I first saw it fly up, I thought that something was just pulling it up. When I actually saw the full frame, I literally said, "OH MY GOD!!!!" To build it, they had to use really light wait material. The heaviest thing that they used maybe was the men who were flying. When the last man was bringing down the helicopter, I was so scared because I thought he was gonna die and the whole thing would collapse. Luckily, they had only used materials that you could get from the department store so they fixed quickly. If they had used heavy metal and pipes, they would have had to spend so much more money to replaced the materials and rebuild it. Some of the problems that I have with the craft is that is so light wait and made with cheep supplies, that it could easily brake if someone just bumps it on the ground. I also think that the men were adding a little extra weight. Although, the people asked for light, and strong men. Overall, a very interesting and cool invention.
This is an invention that can not only change the world but change the whole idea of flying. Because of this group of amazing inventors in Maryland they have caused this miracle of flying. Of course these things don't happen overnight. It probably took years and years of planning and construction to get even close to what they have shown in the video. But the fact that it weighs only 80 lbs.? That is a miracle right there and here I am doubting the ability of styrofoam.... silly me. But I can't give all the credit to the builders the controllers took on the physical challenge of this experiment. I mean A you have to be very fit and B you have to be fearless. I mean what if the plane crashed like it did in the video? You would have to be pretty prepared and kept your cool. I love the use of how they used Kinetic Mechanical energy but the humans supplied the energy! But in the video would that be elastic energy because the pedals kinda had a spring to it? I don't know it looked like it to me. But I think this is even better than solar powered cars because it's giving you a workout and letting you fly, but still once they make it more safe we shouldn't be expecting to see these flying around California. Also you have to be strong fit and tall to ride these machines. From the sound of it using glue and styrofoam it sounds like one of my craft projects but this is taking it to the next level. This is also relavent to our robotics unit because it uses many types of energy and it is a machine that doesn't use the usual types of energy like electrical energy. Also, it is just me or is this machine quiet? That is super awesome. So furthermore, this invention is super awesome and super interesting and educational and it is one of those things in life that you should know about.
I think that the fact simple college students can make helicopters is really amazing! That means that they must be very smart. I think that this video didn't have enough information about the invention for me to understand it much, but I still think that it is an interesting and amazing invention! As great as the invention might be, it has some errors. 1. Think about how much it is going to cost them. 2. They need to fix the helicopters so that if two people are flying, they won't crash into each other. 3. Like Sophia said, on a real test outside there might be wind, and the helicopters didn't look strong enough to fly in wind. 4. At the end of the video, it showed how the helicopter didn't go in the right direction because the person who was riding it couldn't control where it was going.
Overall, I think that this could turn out to be a really useful invention, but it really needs to be modified for it to actually work.
I thought that this video was very interesting. The fact that they can make human powered helicopters that can actually fly blows my mind. I wish that it could be an every day thing to do, not just a once in a lifetime opportunity that only certain people in certain places get to do. I just wish that they would talk about the issues if it went to high, or even how high it goes. I would like to have known if it would be possible to use the helicopters for actual things like for policemen so you can see the action better, not out of a tinted window. I think that with further technology and modifications that this product could go very far.
I think that this is amazing. This might be the next step to cheap aircraft. If they could add a part to steer the helicopter, and something to maintain the altitude, this could be a new type of every-day transportation. I would like to see this helicopter reach 100 feet one day. I think this could be a major breakthrough in technology. I wonder what people could do with this new way of transportation. It could help people get around much faster.

I think that this is amazing. This might be the next step to cheap aircraft. If they could add a part to steer the helicopter, and something to maintain the altitude, this could be a new type of every-day transportation. I would like to see this helicopter reach 100 feet one day. I think this could be a major breakthrough in technology. I wonder what people could do with this new way of transportation. It could help people get around much faster.
