    Default Flying Hovercraft intended in New Zealand

    Thought I'd share this video.



    The inventor calls it The W.I.G. or “Wing in Ground”
    The vehicle can become airborne once it reaches a speed of 40 mph. I am not sure how safe it is though. Especially since it is home built!!

    Pretty cool concept though.

    Thumbs up

    I think it will be greater if it will also work on land so if you’ll travel it would be easier because it will work in three ways: water, air and land.

    If you want to get rid of pollution/congestion don't look to flying. I love to fly but know the most enviro-friendly transportation is mass transportation. Think trains, monorails, bicycles. Planes/helicopters/etc. don't get good gas millage unless a lot of people are on them. Look at Al Gores trips on his G-4 jet to promote his movie. He was dumping tons of carbon dioxide into the air for just a few people to jet-set around.

    i don't know that sim card can be directly used with pc or not. but u can send sms from pc to phone without internet.
    this can be done with the help of pc suite. but for this to work you will need your mobile to be connected to the pc.
    you can type the message on your pc and send it via your phone.
