His job wasn't to design practical mechanisms that would actually be built and work as advertised but to sell magazines. And I guess in that respect he was probably quite successful.The guy might be a great illustrator and artist, but he's clueless as an engineer.
I think OBB simply indicated he is one of the fellas here who like futuristic projects - and mildly disappointed with not being recognised as such. Could you please post the images again?Farewell.
Эм... зачем?good saying - do not throw pearls in front of pigs. so I have now removed all illustrations from my four posts:
Well, I tried to communicate with him on Russian, and frankly, I couldn't figure out what exactly his problem is. He seems to be assuming that he is persecuted because we (including me) did not want him to share information. He also accused SecretProjects in launching DDOS attacks on Russian web libraries and sci-fi forums. I'm... puzzled, to say the least.I cannot help the feeling, that this thread went out of control, because of misunderstandings.
Maybe that was at least partially, because not everyone here is a native English speaker, and
perhaps because rhetorical devices like irony sometimes are hard to recognise, even for native
speakers.
Personally, I'm glad to see it. I was becoming afraid that that sort of personality is an American Exclusive; glad to see it's worldwide.

Interesting design. Those Air rafts would be something Those things would be noisy as hell...
Much appreciated. Had been wondering what that beast's cross section was since seeing surfaced image as a chapter header image in Cold War Submarines book bought several years ago.Images.
That name is very familiar but I can't remember why. Some kind of designer in Britain? Will have to plug it in to Google.Barnes Wallis
