Ultra-Beanie
Note: This has nothing to do with bean-stuffed toys. | |
As I harken back to my youth, my salad days as a young Cedar, I remember fondly the beanie, a multi-coloured skull cap, with a plastic propeller protruding from its top. Many an afternoon was spent, head tilted forward, running around pretending I was an airplane. But I progress...
I no longer have
time to run around, making airplane noises and watching the propeller spin.
The Ultra-Beanie is a variation on the Beanie theme. Connected to the pinnacle of the skull cap is a shaft, about pencil length. Mounted to the top of the shaft is a small plastic airplane, with a motorized propeller. The battery is located in the hat portion, and the plane uses an light electric motor, to keep the weight down. Also included in the hat is a digital recording of a propeller plane flying. This sound can be switched off for telephone calls and office conferences.

Could you have an F22 stealth
(with
the all glass canopy) and jet
noises? |
|
|
I don't want one. It's silly. |
|
|
But I'd want to be the first one to
have one, if it had small butane
lighter engines out the back. |
|
|
Ooooo, ok, bun. + Darn you
human. |
|
|
Oh, Oh! I forgot a key point of the description... |
|
|
The plane 'flies' around this little pole. I figure it needs a stiff supporting rod connected to the pole, and armature-style contacts to supply the power to the plane. (See illustration in [link]). |
|
|
You will probably have to have a little elastic strap to keep this on your head. |
|
|
That's actually really neat. |
|
|
How do you see the propeller spinning if it's mounted to the top of your head? |
|
|
Wait 'til it does a nose dive. |
|
|
Dangit! Never thought of that; my "Halo Generating Hat" could have been done with a vapor trail! |
|
|
For balance, I think maybe I'd want a Fokker DR1 and a Sopwith Camel on opposite sides of the pole. |
|
|
Who doesn't want a good Fokker? |
