screw that, i want a feckin airship!!....helium for safety, but carrying chemicals to fill it with hydrogen if its needed, would only need an envelope of 12.6 metres diameter if i could make the whole thing weigh 900kilos when fully loaded, otherwise its easy to scale up, double the volume to lift double the amount, 12.6m diameter sphere holds 1024m^3 or 1million litres and can lift 2318lbs of weight or 918kg, 10million litres can lift 23180lbs or 9180kg, nice n simple!....if filled with hydrogen it would be a bit more explosive but lift an additional 7% (although helium has 4 times the atomic weight of hydrogen it gives 93% of the lift of hydrogen, its a bit counter-intuitive but ive done the math!)
if an airship is out the questions im going for a mountain bike, quick light and powered by an unlimited resource, me. (well once i get in shape that is xDD) or a nice all terrain motorbike
