Science You Cannot Possibly Comprehend, Monday, Period 5
"A simple class for you today," Doom said, kicking things off. And then he rose off the ground while his cloak started to billow.
"In simple terms, my armor contains a jetpack. Strictly speaking, that term is incorrect. The propulsion is not jet-based, else my garments would be on fire at this moment," Doom said. Strictly speaking, that wasn't true either. He fought the Human Torch on the regular and this particular set was made from unstable molecules. It wouldn't have a problem with heat. "If you'd like to turn yourself into a human rocket, due to explode with any miscue, use miniature jet engines. Those of us who intend to live will use safer means."
Doom then launched into a detailed explanation of different propulsion methods, from water to repulsor technology, to whatever the technology he used in his own was. That information was outdated, naturally.
He also spent some time detailing how to work such technology into, sigh, boot form. Just in case you preferred Stark designs to his own. You fool But that was a topic for another week.
"Your goal this week is child's play; create a jetpack, flying harness, or jetboot that will allow you to remain at least six inches above the ground by means of mechanical propulsion for a minimum of thirty seconds," Doom explained. "I suggest keeping the power low enough to hover. If you propel yourself too much, you will break your neck on the ceiling and fail this assignment when your corpse crashes to the ground."
"As mentioned, the assignment calls for mechanical propulsion. Any natural flight or telekinesis is prohibited," Doom said. "I will be remotely measuring the force output of your jetpacks." Because he had that technology built into his suit, people. "If those numbers do not make absolute sense with the results, you will be subject to further testing."
"Begin work. You have the rest of the class period to complete your design and demonstrate its effectiveness."
