reminds me of a Dyson fan!

Dyson fans have many moving parts in the base

so does this thing. I looked at the diagram.. it's a jet turbine in the middle with ducted air.

I'm not a Dyson fan.

Because it is!

You have an internal fan that pushes the wind up into the ring that blows it out the sides and forms a “tunnel” of low pressure that pulls air long with it. There is a link in the article to the inventor of dyson fan who explains it.

Take my money. You beat me to it.

I will say the leap from this to a flying car is somewhat big.

Depends how close they are together.

In a cosmic sense they're basically simultaneous.

I always loved science teacher jokes.

Bernoulli's Principle!

Seattle-based Jetoptera is developing a vertical takeoff aircraft that can travel at almost 1,000 km/h with a radically simplified new type of engine. With almost no moving parts, it uses super-compressed air to create vortexes for thrust.
