How to build your own Coanda flying machine

Coanda, Tesla, and Navier-Stokes

Hey, Mr Rot, that was really inspiring that you mentioned the Navier-Stokes equation. You got me on a roll now. FCP GUT time!

The Coanda helmet

Coincidentally, the helmet was invented in 1910, the same year the jet engine was invented.

Soviet tank zapped by the Coanda railgun

In 1968, the Warsaw Pact invaded Czeckoslovakia and wanted to do the same with Romania. But incredibly they didn't do it, even if Soviets alone massed at least 25 divisions at the borders, not to mention a few Hungarian, Polish and Bulgarian ones. Some kind of “laser” or “plasma” gun was used against them. When Soviets sent their first tank over the border, it was either “melted” or “vaporized”, so they stopped the invasion in its tracks. 1968 is the year when Coanda returned in his native country Romania, bringing with him lots of his personal papers.

Beats the Grosse Dicke Bertha (effective range: 12.5 km) hands down.

In 1910, when Ely was flying this contraption into the water, Coanda was testing the first jet plane

MIT builds the Coanda sub

MIT has overcome the mathematical impossibility through both its innovative design as well as something called the Coanda effect. So what is this miraculous Coanda effect the company has employed? It is a phenomenon where a jet flow attaches itself to a nearby surface and remains attached even when the surface curves away from the direction of the initial jet flow. Run a stream of water over the underside of a spoon and watch as the water follows the curve instead of dropping straight down – that’s the Coanda effect. [..] Preliminary market research, carried out by MIT, suggests worldwide sales of the vehicle may go beyond 1 million units. MIT is seeking investors to fund the building of a prototype UV before establishing manufacturing facilities. Once in production, MIT expects to produce 10,000 vehicles a year.

Questions nobody is asking: Does The BAe 146/Avro RJ Use The Coanda-effect?

Answers to questions nobody is asking: Ehm... basically all aircraft make use of the Coanda effect. It is a large part of what keeps them in the air.

Hilarity ensues.

I am at the wheel, of course. Wouldn't trust der Rotter with the jet engine. He's just sitting there, in the snowmobile, seething.
