Colin Furze, Engineering genius, showcase for English talent
Discussion
When are we going to put Colin Furze in a position of real power/influence?
https://www.youtube.com/user/colinfurze
The man is an engineering AND inventive genius
We need him on HS2/The new Concorde/GB's Space Effort/Cold fusion
He is too good for Lincolnshire, too good for youtube, too talented for 70000shot mushroom fireworks....
Seriously, can someone start a viral sensation vote petition phenomenum thingy.......
Random example to win you over: https://youtu.be/KO25JYAaJC0
. He makes a killing from Youtube, not just the revenue but his tie ups with Marvel etc that he's recently had.

I think he needs to be used for something more than mobility scooters with hydraulic arms at the back, now.
Someone give him a Research Dept in a University
Or something
We're English, we invent and build things, this is what we're good at.

While it is skillful and funny to build a 80mph mobility scooter one does wonder what practical benefit such a thing has?Someone give him a Research Dept in a University

And I suspect the lad is doing it for fun. Once you start getting paid to do it and told to push out a new project every month it soon becomes not fun.
I love Colin, the most entertaining thing on youtube 
But it's a stretch to call him a genius. He just has time on his hands to do this stuff. It's mostly pointless, silly stuff, but that IS the point. I'd like to think that, given the time and money, I'd be doing this stuff. There's a lad also on youtube, Tom Stanton also doing mad inventor bits, but goes more into the maths and theory. Not quite the scale of Mr Furze but getting there.
PS the hydraulic arm on the invalid scooter, I'd have done a parallelogram mechanism so the seat raises and stays horizontal....

By the way : Furze means fart in German: I wonder if he knows that? Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
