Chinese Farmer Builds Homemade Helicopter
Chinese ingenuity shows its head again in 20 year old Chinese farmer Wu Zhongyuan, who has built a home-made helicopter using wood and a motorcycle engine..
Wu built himself the contraption using what he remembers of middle school physics lessons and “relevant knowledge [found while] surfing the Internet via my mobile phone.”
His single-seater conveyance has blades made from the wood of an Elm tree, a frame reinforced with steel pipes and uses an engine from a motorcycle — all for around $1,600. Wu claims the ‘copter can get him as high as 2,600 feet, though it seems he’s grounded for the time being as the Chinese government has forbid him to fly because of safety reasons.
