Launch A Kite

When I was a child flying kites I never heard of a kite launcher not even on television.  But that soon changed when I found that running with the kite was and is not now my special talent or gift now that I have Parkinson's and cannot run with the speed and agility of a rated and ranked tennis player in the small local tennis tournaments.  But I can still fly kites and enjoy it as much as when I was a young boy running about  the fields like a jack rabbit.  With the way I rigged up a kite launcher in my backyard not  knowing if such a rig or device existed since I googled for one at the time but found none I proceeded to design and make my own essentially a twenty foot tall flag pole but with a kite instead of a fly with the attached line for string or rope depending on the size of the kite.  Large kites pull so hard a rope is more desired for gripping.  Such a kite launcher already was invented not by me as the configurations for the information as I was told had not been worked out exactly.   But use a kite launcher if you can't run anymore and be happy observing all the safely rules avoiding  power lines and mean old neighbors who don't want you trespassing on their property trying to retrieve down kites.  In my other blog It Never Takes A Genius I drew an illustration of a Harrier Jet and showed a bomber could be outfitted with the jet propulsion thrusters turned in the same way a Harrier jet has their jet thrusters positioned.  The ideal is to get a bomber off the ground without the need for a runway much in the same fashion a Harrier jet takes off from the ground like a helicopter.  Now go  ahead launch a bomber with a jet launcher and be happy but  watch for enemy  incoming craft and missiles waiting to take you down.  But  don't do this home alone the military branches of the United States of America are equipped to do this.

As for cars that will fly when and where I   have no ideal.  But they will fly it is just right  now such news isn't big news not just yet.  I already discussed this flight of cars on the air with Dr. Bill Wattenberg a   former physics professor at UC Berkeley and this was not a joke.  Yes I  can write about science fiction I am not the first to do so tell me about the movie "Back To Future" starring Michael J. Fox  and that was a long time ago.  It is time we start thinking again and get our vehicles out of the rut and into the sky just anywhere but the ditches!  Are the inventors and designers of such craft listening?
