trying to figure out how him peddling drives the blades

If the individual shots were longer than a quarter of a damn second, you might be able to see.

Looks like it winds/unwinds a spool around the pedal axle which rotates the blades, one spool per blade. Based on that, it's a single 'cycle' of energy before more potential energy needs to be generated for another flight.

The dude pedaled his ass off for that, so it looks like straight kinetic energy.

My favorite is not on there there, but it's the Motorola i530 with nextel. Thing was small durable and the direct connect was awesome.


Ahh I remember the beeps of the direct connect. It's now better done as texting.

My first phone was a motorola C333. It was absolutely horrid. Piss poor battery, flimsy case, reception so bad it probably put more RF in my head than in the air.

After this thing I learned to be much more demanding of my phones. Went Nokia and didnt get another Motorola until The Droid came out on Verizon.
