    BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
    Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
    Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
    British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984.

      Another version of the jet pack was developed a few years ago and while it worked perfectly indoors it was highly susceptible to wind currents and they tended to try to fly close to the ground because there was no safety mechanism for the flyer if the engine cut out at 200 feet. So it looked good, but was not practical.

      @maxkronader5225 Před 3 lety +1

      The problem with the jetpack is endurance. The fuel runs out in less than two minutes. Carrying enough fuel for practical flight times would make it too heavy for a person to use. Unless they solve that problem, it will remain just an interesting gimmick used in movies and publicity stunts.

    It is always interesting to think of people's misguided thoughts on how to use a new invention. For instance, The telephone was first viewed as a "voice telegraph," and "idle chatter" was discouraged since they thought of it as a business-only device. Other odd ideas included using Television during World War II to guide bombs or (in the US) thinking of a 1939 RCA "home fax machine" where the user would set it to receive a newspaper facsimile from midnight to 6am. [They forgot to consider that it was a lot cheaper to have a normal newspaper delivered rather paying hundreds of dollars for a machine to give you a poor copy. And let us not forget that "someday, everyone will have a helicopter in their driveway." [I sure would hate to live in LA or London if that were so -- crash, the traffic!!] Just look in old copies of Popular Science or Popular Mechanix to see how we saw the future....

    Jetpacks are still around but what makes them impractical is that they only carry about a minute of fuel. A recent variation is essentially a large firehose taking the place of the jetpack with unlimited water thrusting the person into the air over a lake or ocean

    Thank goodness for _Grand Theft Auto; San Andreas_ because it's the closest I'll ever get to flying a jetpack. With regard to flying cars, a modified four propped drone should take care of that, surely?

    I like the "South Park" version of the mono wheel. For its send up, not for the self desire for such things. ;-)
