Topic: Great idea for a business thread: Mark II
Anonymous A started this discussion 8 years ago #76,259
ITT I post all the fantastic business ideas that somebody should do.
Airship cruises. These lost popularity after the Hindenburg disaster and advent of widespread HTA aircraft availability. But as we can see with ocean liners, one could make the trip aboard the luxury airship be part of the adventure.
A two-week adventure in one of these babies could bring in the big bucks!
Some quick calculations:
The coolest sea-ship liner is the Oasis of the Seas, which weighs 225,000 gt, or 504,000,000 lb. An air-liner can lift 60lb for every 1000 cubic ft of Helium gas, which means that for the kickass "Oasis of the Clouds" to operate it will need an inflated area of:
504,000,000/60 = 8,400,000
8,400,000 * 1,000 = 8,400,000,000
For visualization, this is approximately 100 times larger than the pyramids of giza, or a majestic 1200 times larger than the Hindenburg.
When will an entrepreneur see sense and get building one?????

Obviously you'd just float over the hurricane. You could probably charge more for the privilege.
Oh and if there were little hanging biplanes (like in Indiana Jones) you could charge people for Eye of the Hurricane flight experiences.

Sounds like something Elon Musk would bite at in a hot second. You should draw up some plans and try to squeeze some venture capital out of him. If you agreed to call the project Gas-X, maybe you could get some additional corporate sponsorship from GlaxoSmithKline.

They really should make Mark II. Mark I was okay but the graphics kinda suck now.

Just build a tensegrity sphere and have a floating city above the clouds.

Okay so we should demolish all the big cities, rewild them, make aesthetic overground entrances and start making underground structures to live in. Depthscrapers, hyper loops, mandatory vitamin supplements.

A robot that will plant, maintain and harvest a variety vegetables for you in your back garden so you can enjoy a cascade of delicious home-grown vegetables for very cheap. This will help people on the poverty line make that leap to become self-sufficient farmer folks who grow all their own food and save the money for themselves.

Nobody likes getting up early for work. With my new invention WalkPod, now you don't have to.
It's a bed inside a pod, and the pod has robot legs that will walk to work for you.
Just get out of bed in the morning and hey presto, you're at your desk!
