Playing hide and seek in the clouds

Cloudrunner is a type of ‘air jet sky’, which uses an involucre full of gas, as its accessorial force, conjugated with support propellers, as helicopters or 'drones' does.
One of the first paradigms that Santos=Dumont had broken, took place on July 4th, 1898, when he flew in his balloon called ‘Brasil’, which used hydrogen for ascensoral power in its 113m3 involucre, with only 19.7feet in diameter, the smallest balloon ever built. After that, he has broken many other paradigms up to the first flight of the ‘heavier than air”, by his14Bis.

Undoubtedly, the airship that Santos Dumont liked most was the so-called 'Baladeuse' (carriage in French), in the year de1903.

It was indeed an 'aerial chariot' with an involucre of 220m3 of hydrogen, driven by a 3hp Clement Bayard engine, this wonder came to 18.6 mph. The goal of Dumont with the 'Baladeuse' was to create an urban vehicle to serve as a practical and elegant individual transportation.

Since then, very little has been developed in relation to the individual air transportation, the autogyro and jetpack are the closest thing to it.

Since science seems to be stuck on this segment, the dream of reaching skies, jumping from cloud to cloud, after 110 years, is still a distant dream.

Order not to lose hope, the team of blog NIMPS in partnership with Blemya created in a fictional way, the 'CLOUDRUNNER', also called 'cloudracer'.
This is a type of ‘air jet sky’, which uses an involucre full of gas, as its accessorial force, conjugated with support propellers, as helicopters or 'drones' does.
Cloudriders playing hide and seek over the moving clouds 

Ascension engines of the 'Cloudrider' are not so demanded to take the aircraft from the ground, since a sophisticated gas mattress with a ‘gas mixing system’ under different pressures, almost does that alone.

It reaches great heights and the flight can be silent on some specific atmospheric conditions, favorable for disengage the engine, and its speed varies according to the wind velocity.

According to our imaginary test pilots, it is impossible to describe the emotion of playing hide and seek in the clouds, like a mischievous young angel, therefore, only a poet like Wallace Stevens to describe the sweet sensations of delight in the clouds.

“The Pleasures of Merely Circulating

The garden flew round with the angel,
The angel flew round with the cloud.
And the clouds flew round and the clouds flew round
And the clouds flew round with the clouds”.

Opportunities for you to change your life in 2015, if you 'LOVE BRAZIL'

01 – Create blockbuster movies that make real money with 100% Brazilian heroes
The Blog 'LOVE BRAZIL - <3>] - has listed 14 business opportunities that can make you a millionaire from 2015 on. The marks shown in the bottom left corner of the images show whether these initiatives have already been made (green) or if it does not exist (red):

01 – Create blockbuster movies that make real money with 100% Brazilian heroes

leia este artigo em Português

For this theme we should mix movies elements such as those that deal with the Japanese culture, as Ultraman and Godzilla, with the spirit of 'love your city' presented by 'Ghostbusters' for New York. So we created the 'Heroes of the Obelisk', 32 superheroes, each with specific superpowers and characteristics of the Brazilian people, defending the city of São Paulo from cruel villains like 'The Anahngá', a terrible monster from Anhangabaú Valley and corrupt forces of flesh-and-bone enemies from the big tropical city.

02 - Build a factory of shirts with motifs of Brazilian tribes paintings

This idea works well for the small entrepreneur, who with little investment ,can get to have multiple variations of several tees, taking into account the 238 indigenous peoples of Brazil.


 03 - Using the fact that Brazil is the country that invented Aeronautics and produce new aircraft.

 03 - Using the fact that Brazil is the country that invented Aeronautics and produce new aircraft.

Thank God that companies such as Embraer, ITA and the FAB, in a joint effort, had this vision (if you do not love Brazil, you probably believe that who invented the airplane were the Wright Brothers, and them, this topic will not make any sense at all)

The KC-390, the revolutionary aircraft intended to replace the already tired Hercules, fully designed and constructed in Brazil, was presented at last November 21, at Embraer's factory in Gavião Peixoto (SP). For the first time, the press and representatives from over 32 countries had the opportunity to see firsthand the largest aircraft ever developed and manufactured in Brazil.

04 - Provide smart solutions and engineering to the ‘Favelas’

The ‘Favelas’ (Brazilian slums) are part of history, culture and Brazilian society, trying to exterminate the slums to make public housing has proved a very mistaken policy.

The solution presented by Blemya blog in 2010 (http://blemya.blogspot.com.br/2010/01/estado-de-arte-no-empreendedorismo.html ) was to create a company specialized in bringing sanitation, comfort and infrastructure in the state of art, at low prices to the ‘Favela’ areas.

Great potential to become a cult (at least it made big success on my blog, I have several emails asking to buy one (http://ameobrasil.blogspot.com.br/2012/11/orixas-em-toy-art.html ). Following inspiration in Blythe doll, created in 1972 by designer Allison Katzman, and gained prominence in 1997, when the journalist Gina Garan began to photograph it in several places, thus giving inspiration to his book "This is Blythe".

The cult chef Alex Atala is the main protagonist of this my article and of course, leads Brazil to the world and to the Brazilians as a 'good thing'. Opened in January 2009, the restaurant Dalva e Dito brought to the city of Sao Paulo, a culture already well entrenched in Belém do Pará, to value our dishes as Brazilian culture.

The Pihin technique (indigenous body painting), seeks to bring urban civilization supreme balance through the ancient knowledge of the art of the indigenous body painting (http://ameobrasil.blogspot.com.br/2013/09/spa-pihin-ou-spa-nova-tupi-uma-nova.html ). Also known as 'the complete therapy', the Pihin technique promotes the improvement of the individual in all its aspects; physical, aesthetic, mental, spiritual and psychological, besides being a great manifestation of affection from one person to another.

Natura is one of the most exciting examples of culture 'New Tupi'. Founded in 1969 by Jean-Pierre Berjeaut and the current president, Luiz Antonio da Cunha Seabra, Natura had the goal of selling personal care products that were produced with natural formulas, high quality and at competitive prices.

The line 'Natura Ekos' uses 14 Brazilian biodiversity substances, the supply and distribution of benefits generated, over the years, more than R $ 8.5 million in funds. Thus, Natura Ekos supports social development, strengthening the economy and taking care for the environment in the communities.

10 – Go surf in Pororoca (longest Brazilian tidal bore)

10 – Go surf in Pororoca (longest Brazilian tidal bore)

As example of the investment made by Red Bull in winter sports, in Switzerland and Austria, Brazil also enters this scenario, with the practice of sports among the forces of nature, also sponsored by the Austrian energy drink brand.

In 2005 Serginho Laus managed to accurately measure what is surfing the tidal bore of the Araguari River; He was 12.18 mph, for a distance of 7.33 miles, which lasted 36 minutes.

The ABRASPO - Brazilian Association of Surfing in Pororoca is the entity that since 1999 years promotes and disseminates surfing the tidal bore. This is also a way to encourage tourism and cultural exchange between the young audiences.

Choose an indigenous ethnic group, then, with the aid of its own members let your customers eat dishes of the tribe, learn their stories and mainly help the tribe to disseminate their culture and raise funds for its own expansion of land in a sustainable way.
12 - Create The Kaüim, a new segment of beverages

12 - Create a new segment of beverages

The Cauim remains a ritual beverage of the Indians produced only in their tribes and the distilled cassava, ‘the Tiquira’, still being produced with bad quality.

I've been doing a series of experiments in order to produce the Cauim (Kaüim in Old Tupi) http://ameobrasil.blogspot.com.br/2013/09/receita-em-tupi-antigo-para-o-preparo.html
and I'm sure this can be a great dinning drink to accompany Brazilian dishes, like the Sake and Sochu.

Inspired by Indian objects, and also in Frank Gehry's Fish Lamps, we see this 'lamp Pirarucu'.
14 - Express your own history

14 - Express your own history

Give value to your Tupi-Pop culture, like the Japanese with the J-Pop and Korean with K-Pop, valuing their rituals, their music, their culture, incorporating urban attitudes of today and being happy with their very own essence. In the photo, woman uses a plexiglass botoque (piercing) window.

——
The good news is that the few Brazilians are increasingly proud of Brazilian products and this generates a great business opportunity for entrepreneurs who 'LOVE THE BRAZIL(in reference to a Brazilian Blog with the same title http://ameobrasil.blogspot.com.br )'. The bad news is that there is much still to be done.

Entrepreneurial brands like Havaianas, Natura, Alex Atala’s restaurants DOM and Dalva e Dito, understood and doing great with this bet.

It would be inconceivable for a Brazilian, in the year 1973, to go to a Brazilian food restaurant, take cachaça, a classic poor ‘Boteco’ drink at the time, using a pair of ‘Havaiana’s’ sandals, spending the equivalent of US$ 450.00 on the tour.

In other hand, Japanese culture insists in supporting Japanese companies. This is why Microsoft has been doing much worse than Sony in Japan. The same sort of thing exists in the US too. Many american like to support American companies, so the 360 demolished the PS3 in the US. But in Brasil, we still believe that everything that comes from abroad is better that Brazilian stuff.

Some time ago, in the seventies, launching products related to Brazilian culture would be a certain failure, today things have changed a lot, but still has a lot yet to change, which means that it we still have a lot of business opportunity ahead.
