i know next to nothing about helicopters, and yes, i posted this video in another thread. i could not find anything else about it. there does appear to be a similar japanese model. he doesn't seem to get it out of ground effect so the actual utility of the thing is unclear. please bear with me while i ask silly questions, but the apparent utter simplicity of this thing just intrigues me.

so here goes:
how complex is the coaxial rotor arrangement? are there off-the-shelf components?
would longer rotor blades help it get out of G.E.?
does this design have real potential? flying car replacement?
