Solar Powered Airship

by Kevin Humphrey on January 27th, 2006

Solar Powered AirshipIs it a bird? An airplane? A giant flying dildo? No, sorry…it’s just a 26 foot long Solar Powered Airship! And according to the web site, you’ll be completely amazed with this totally incredible device.

Basically, it’s big black balloon-like apparatus. There’s an ‘envelope’ on one end which you run around with open, and that fills it with air - no need for pumps, puff, hassle or gases. Once that’s done, you leave it in the sun for a moment or two and it will then magically take to the skies in an incredible demostration of solar energy. Also known as watching hot air rise.

Apparently it looks like an UFO in flight, so it should do well for freaking that old guy down the street who you saw wearing a tin-foil hat once. The Solar Airship can be enjoyed all year round, as long as there is some sunshine, but they advise that it does works best when there is no wind.

(Oh, man…sometimes these stories just write themselves!)

Yours for just £14.99 from BritishEco.com in the UK. Product page here.
