![]() ![]() To fly a man upon the same process would not be quite practical, without a tremendous amount of energy required, so the idea as for now is best left to one’s imagination. One study cites that a sheet of material a few inches long and one tenth of a millimeter would need to vibrate at speed of ten times per second with a an amplitude of 0.25 millimeters, to create a hovering effect. The ripples could actually make the carpet move forward too, using the same principles. The rapid movements could create a high pressure area, somewhat like the wing of an airplane causing the carpet to float short distances above the floor. Levitation could be achieved if the carpet could vibrate by making ripples that push down towards a horizontal surface such as the ground. Modern physics suggest it would be possible to create a flying carpet. Such buyers would be people who believed in the existence of flying (magical) carpets and would ask the carpet vendor if he had such carpets for sale. Even a vendor who grabbed tightly with both hands a square corner of the carpet would not be able at all to hold on.įurthermore, there had to be unscrupulous carpet sellers, who would travel about from town to town travelling salesmen who would sell gullible, superstitious, simple-minded people so-called magical flying carpets that were, of course, fraudulent. Actually, what these people did not know is such a tremendous wind storm would not only cast away the carpet, but also any riders that were trying to firmly hold their place on the carpet would get fiercely blown off. Some people most probably theorized, erroneously, that if someone sat down in the middle of a large carpet, that such a huge wind storm (hurricane or tornado) would propel them through the sky. If such very strong winds are present, as in a hurricane or a tornado, carpets would get lifted up and then sail high into the air, long before the vendors would have the time to move them to safety. Sometimes, there are very strong wind storms that can develop, under certain weather very quickly with little warning. At times any carpets laid out on the ground or on racks would have been highly exposed to the weather. Such dealers would have indoor showrooms, but on nice, warm weather days there are carpet vendors who sell their fabric merchandise outdoors at stalls or on lots. Oriental and Middle Eastern carpets are the most preferred carpets in the world and have been so for many, many centuries. In Asia and the Middle East there are carpet dealers who buy and sell carpets. The idea where miraculously flying carpets came might just be a complete mystery. We know that there are no magical flying carpets, and there mention in many centuries old stories provided a source of entertainment for readers of fantasy, whether or not such readers knew they were reading fantasy. There are stories of other people, in different nations, of various time periods, owning flying carpets and awesome travelling thereupon them. In ancient lore, the famous Jewish King Solomon allegedly owned a huge flying carpet that allowed him to travel to Damascus, Syria for breakfast and then to Media, Saudi Arabia.
