This isn’t just from The Avengers movie, it is in the comics also. Here an image of the S.H.I.E.L.D.’s helicarrier. Could something like this really fly? Let me see if I can use my approximation from the human powered helicopter to estimate the amount of power needed to fly this thing. First, some assumptions. I will use the helicarrier shown above from the recent The Avengers movie. There are other variations of this thing in the comics. The expressions for force and power from my previous post are mostly valid. I know that some people freak out over that estimation – but it isn’t terrible as far as estimations go. There are no special aerodynamic effects to help the helicarrier hover – like ground effects. The helicarrier in the movie is about the size and mass of a real aircraft carrier. The helicarrier stays in the air just from the rotors. It doesn’t float like a lighter than air aircraft. I think this assumption does along with the movie since they show it sitting in water floating like a normal aircraft carrier. Just as a reminder, for a hovering craft I estimated it the force from pushing the air down (and thus the lift) would be: La te xi t 1 16 (via Could the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Fly? | Wired Science | Wired.com)

Miyamoto on Zelda Wii U (interview with Entertainment Weekly)

Mon, 11 Jun 2012 06:09:44 -0400

EW: Last year when the Wii U was first introduced, a standalone Zelda battle scene was created to showcase the system’s high-definition graphics. What about the Wii U intrigues you for what you could do in a Zelda game?
Miyamoto: Obviously we started that experiment last year and used that to sort of showcase some of the HD visuals. And obviously when you look at that, you do get a positive reaction to how simply having the HD visuals in a Zelda game can really make the game look wonderful and give it sort of a high-quality feel. But one thing that’s interesting is we’re seeing how the way that tastes are broadening in video games and you have some people who prefer more casual experiences, and you have some people who prefer sort of those more in-depth experiences. Obviously, as a company that’s been making games for a very long time, we tend to be more on the deeper, longer game side of things. But really what we continue to ask ourselves as we have over the years is, “What is the most important element of Zelda if we were to try to make a Zelda game that a lot of people can play?” So we have a number of different experiments going on, and [when] we decide that we’ve found the right one of those to really help bring Zelda to a very big audience, then we’ll be happy to announce it.
EW: So you’re sort of in the R&D stage?
Miyamoto: Yeah. With the last game, Skyward Sword, that was a game where you had motion control to use your weapons and a lot of different items, and I thought that was a lot of fun, but there were some people who weren’t able to do that or didn’t like it as much and stopped playing partway through it. So we’re in the phase where we’re looking back at what’s worked very well and what has been missing and how can we evolve it further.

There is a pair of weights that sits in my living room, staring me down every day. When I eventually pick them up for ten minutes, I'm like:
