		<description><![CDATA[Fifty years ago, the first hovercraft was invented here in the UK. I travelled on a commercial one in 1976 between England and France. It was fun and fast apart from the rough weather then. Now, this project Steam Boat Willy, named presumably after the first Walt Disney Mickey Mouse Cartoon is a hand built [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a technique called dynamic soaring that birds particularly Albatrosses use to harvest energy from places where winds are changing such as in wave troughs. Gliders use the same technique and radio controlled gliders in this video, to get up to a speed according to the radar gun of 399 MPH. Call me a little [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to love making paper air planes so this idea, although it has been done is still interesting enough for me to feature it and maybe somebody else will see this and run with it. A balloon filled with helium gas took a payload up to 122,000 feet before bursting and releasing 100 paper [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So if you get a high def video camera safely mounted in a protective Styrofoam box and attached to a balloon. There&#8217;s also a tracker in the box and a parachute to bring it down safely. This is the 4th BEAR (Balloon Experiments with Amateur Radio) and the first one with high def video.
