Hmm I'm not so sure of the practical applications of this. Afterall you'll then have to bury something as big as you without a trace... It is a nice idea and I'm sure a lot of fun.

I seem to recall a similar idea being tried out during WWII. It was dropped like most of the other mad ideas by mad boffins.

PS. There's not very many original inventions, just old ideas revamped.

[Flt.Lt.Andrew]

Both points are very true.


Mark, I think the idea is it folds up like a back pack, so you dont have to bury it...but what if it gets shot at ? Then you're fucked.
