The Best 69¢ I Ever Spent.

Look at this thing! It looks like something off of a '30s Pulp SF magazine cover by Frank R. Paul, or like Tom Swift's Ultrasonic Cycloplane. It's gorgeous. What you can't see is the three-wheeled undercarriage, like a sports car version of Bucky Fuller's Dymaxion Car.

If we ever get a big win on the lottery, I'm gonna have one of thse custom-built in Real Life.

Okay, I admit it. There's a part of my that hopes this guy isn't just treated like a loon and hustled off.

Hrm that Cycloplane idea sounds like it would actually work, with a modern gas turbine engine. I dont know how safe a constant bubble of ultrasonic tinnabation would be, however. It would shatter glass and drive pets insane just by being even remotely close.
