The Project

The project "Dream of Flying" is a Zeppelin inspired personal air transportation in the year 2031.

The problem we face now is that we are so limited to this two dimensional transport network, everything is on the same level, sharing the same road with thousands of other people, pushing, squeezing trying to find a way out. There is a simple solution - give people wings to fly.
I believe flying is the next evolution of transportation. We will step into an age when we take all that messy trails of tail lights and set them free into the sky.

Week2 Day1

Made this on Sunday, it's a "flying wish lantern". Same principle as a hot air balloon.
It didn't work as I expected. Reason being the size was small, the whole thing was too heavy to lift on hot air, and the shape is a little off too. Now I understand why the real one has a larger top and a smaller openning, it is to trap hot air inside. The one I made was straight so the hot air keeps tipping the lantern upside down. The paper I used was a bit too heavy, it needed paper that is very light for example tissue paper or a very thin plastic bag (plastic bag might not be able to with stand the heat).
Overall, I found this test pointless.
