Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted April 1, 2009 Aerosoft Share Posted April 1, 2009 One of the products the lab deep in our basement is working on. The first prototypes now work but we got to find a nice way to refill the thing. Estimated price is $24.95 and it should be available a year from now. When you plug it into your USB port it will detect when a simulator is running and will start to spread the lovely smell of half burned avgas. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick C 110 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 If the girlfriend/wife knocks it out while cleaning, does that constitute a "bird strike"? (Not being sexist, slang doesn't work otherwise ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesChams 108 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Have you decided to sell a legal form of "Drug sniffing" (like hair spray) to pay the bills ... ??? ? They must be real hard up for cash; after MS' ACES went bust. PS: Nice one Nick! LMAO Does it actually make noise or just do odor? Just curious; not really interested. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LufthansaPilot 4 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Isn't it dangerous to smell such burned avgas??? How much capacity have these USB's; How long does they linger?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airbusfreak 8 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 why should it be dangerous? it isn't the real avgas. I guess it's only a chemical smelling like the half burned avgas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Golding 159 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yes but the smell only stays around on April 1st, so the danger is not too big.I supose the next thing you'll be saying is that this project might never get completed? Mind you, from some of the comments above, I wouldn't mind betting that some people have been getting affected by the dodgy levels of smell produced during early beta testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airbusfreak 8 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 it's a pity.. deep inside i assumed the joke... but i hoped it would be real... could you please accomplish it anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C 110 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yes but the smell only stays around on April 1st, so the danger is not too big.If you find the insurance department are banging their heads at your product marketing, you could always try to harvest spaghetti:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyUvNnmFtgI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton 97 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 could you please accomplish it anyway?All you need is a flame resistant container, couple drops of Jet-A, and some matches. Seriously, folks... don't try this for real unless you're looking to rebuild your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEA-JHD 1 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 although this was an April 1st joke. Those would be some ultra cool USB storage devices. The design is great Ditch the Avgas and release them as usb storage devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB 11 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Move to a home near an airport...Nice one Mathijs! Could be a good device to really go and invent. Paraffin wax might do the trick - if you don't mind imagining the "Coconut Airways" home base... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanB2 5 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Dang!! Thought it might be real for a minute there!!Would be great as a USB memory stick anyway!Best regards,Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
