Another of my crazy inspirations struck the other day: The Personal Airship.
Being stuck in traffic is a stupid way to spend time and contribute to global warming. Being able to travel through the air is the obvious solution. The major problem with personal aircraft is safety. This is a solvable problem. How do you minimize the risk of air travel? Make yourself lighter than air. How do you still achieve useful speed and agility? Supplement with jets. Can this be a sustainable method of travel? Yes, through fuel cell power.
As with my Geothermal Steam brainstorming, a little research revealed that this idea is not new, but not yet fully realized. Once again, perfect fertile ground for further exploration...
