Someone came up with this idea a couple of years ago and were posting YouTube videos about it, which were thoroughly debunked as being "unrealistic" by numerous other YouTubers. So to find out that someone has ACTUALLY done this, given the amount of people demonstrating how it will never work is something of a surprise... -- Best Wishes Simon Taylor |
