Yeah.....I'm calling BS on this one

The Iranian inventor that invented the floating shoes, has now built a propeller-less propulsion system ideal for flying taxis

Mohsen Bahmani is an Iranian-born mechanical engineer and a man with a dream. When he was just 17 years old, he made a pair of floating shoes that ...

So if you take a heavy object and throw it up in the air and then before it gets a chance to fall you pull yourself up by a rope and then try to throw it up in the air again and keep doing it over and over again you can fly? .....Um ...nope

I noticed that the article says the inventor was extremely careful about releasing any video of the actual working machine because he wanted to protect his trade secrets. Lol....

In my opinion he was careful about releasing the video because this machine is bullshit.

I get the idea behind the principal but somehow I don't think there are any working models out there because it defies physics.

Is just another fake science scam.

And I actually had a laugh at their list of "Awards".

• Gold Medal – Brussel, Belgium, 2009
• Silver Medal – Moscow, Russia, 2008
• Gold Medal – EUREKA, Romania, 2008
• Bronze Medal – London, UK, 2007
• Silver Medal – Inventors Championship, Switzerland
• Gold Medal – Inventors Championship, Iran
• Silver Medal – Moscow, Russia, 2008
• Best inventor in Iran – Iranian Youth Organization (2008, 2009)
• Iranian National Champion Inventor – Tehran (2008, 2009)

Uh, when people are actually giving a list of awards, they generally include not only the item they won it for and the category, but also who actually awarded it to them.

As in "Gold Medal for the 100 meter dash, IOC, Paris, 2024". I actually spent some time trying to verify those "awards", and could not find proof of any of them. And in one place he claims he got his degree in Iran, and in another he claims he got his degree in Germany.

I think what amazes me the most is how often I see people actually believe crap like this.

Well, at least we finally know who invented the flywheel and gyroscope.
