It is bright, and filled with many new inventions inclueding the reality that within a few years you will be able to buy and drive a flying car.
Paul Sandner Moller (born December 11, 1936 in Fruitvale, British Columbia, Canada) is a Canadian engineer who has spent over fifty years developing the Moller Skycar personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle. The engine technology developed for the Skycar has also been adapted as a UAV platform called the “aerobot”.[1] The rotapower engine itself has been spun off to a separate Moller company, Freedom Motors.
Moller was a professor of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, from 1963 to 1975, at the University of California, Davis and lives in Davis. He was featured in Popular Science’s January 2005 issue[9] and appeared on the radio show Coast To Coast AM
