"Weird isn't bad" is a philosophy i
strongly believe in. Most people will dislike weird stuff by
prejudgement, but ...sometimes you will have to admid that they
have large benefits once you start to know more about them.
That is why i try here to explain the why and hows of
the weird stuff i had or like.
At this moment section "weird airplanes" is growing slowly
towards the old, but large sites content and "recumbent bikes" is
not included yet. Give me some time to transform those large
sections into this new website-making-program.
Thanks for your patience.
I admire weird airplanes as they are sometimes better than conventional airplanes.
I try here to explain why they are designed that way and what the difference is with "normal" airplanes.
It is not my goal to list all the ones with that weird design. I just want that you understand the concept better.
Henry Mignet designed the "Pou du Ciel" or "Flying Flea" in 1934. And his concept is still being used today! It proofed to be autostable, easy to make and very cheap. Ideal to get the man of the street airborne ...just like Henri Mignet wanted.
Here you find why it is designed that way, what models exist and how you can start your own construction.
I am a proud owner of a Ecomobile.
Here you can read why this motorcycle is such a great design and i will report my adventures with it from buying it, registrating it, learning to drive it and making citytrips with it.
I was the proud owner of a Secma Fun Extr'm 500. It is a microcar, that can carry two and it smaller than a Smart Fortwo.
Here are some video's i made while i had it.
Microcars will come back. They are fun and ... really usefull.
My interest in electric vehicles came when having the idea to make something for myself that was easy to construct and maintain. Electric engines give me that freedom.
Here are stories about what I bought and what projects i designed/construct.
