I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

Backpack Flight
I was wondering if you had a personal flight system, what it would look like. I imagined you would have a backpack with a folding stack of wings. They extend telescopically and form a stack of wings above your head. The propulsion system would be inside the wings, you would have fan blades inside the wings that generate a gust of air. There would be no exposed moving parts. I also imagined the fanblades would be nested inside a ring structure and it would have magnets nexted inside it, electro magnets would then push the outside of the ring with the fanblades inside.
