Fans powered by a backpack battery fill your pantlegs with air. Possibly with enough air passing through, and bellbottom pants (or suchlike) one might possibly be able to hover over the ground. Of course, that means a lot of air, but mount the fan on your back instead of a battery and plug it into a high-voltage outlet and see what happens. The pants would have to be non-aeropermeable for the hoverpants to work, but the air would keep you cool.
Or maybe a jetpack style affair blowing down the back. Cool exhaust would be needed, or armored underwear.-- DesertFox, Mar 01 2005 Suckpants SuckpantsThe opposite!

[ConsulFlaminicus, Mar 02 2005] I can just imagine what FJ's drawing of this would look like. Some jetpack strapped to a guy's back with the air blowing down his back.-- DesertFox, Mar 01 2005 I mean reaaaaaalllyyyyy big pant legs, at least 3 feet wide each, to provide good stability.-- DesertFox, Mar 01 2005 That would avoid the head-dumping.-- DesertFox, Mar 01 2005 Can you flip a switch to go from hover to Hoover?-- robinism, Mar 01 2005 Is it possible to co-author an idea? Maybe both have names up there?
Posting an idea about that now.-- DesertFox, Mar 01 2005 HoverSuck PantTrous-- wagster, Mar 01 2005 MCHammer could use these to resurrect his career.-- UVApostrophe, Mar 01 2005 I think a skirt would be more appropriate.-- Worldgineer, Mar 01 2005 Blow pants?-- bristolz, Mar 01 2005 Naturally, [Bristolz]. I was gonna post the very same thing. Placed right next to SuckPants, of course.
