The Homocopter is a small helicopter which can fly due to the human power only, i.e. the pilot who is "riding" this vehicle is realizing the rotation of the rotary wing of the helicopter using a pair of pedals and a gear system, through which the rotary wing rotates with sufficient revolutions per minute to create the lift, necessary for the motion of this vehicle through the air. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The Homocopter looks like a combination between a monocycle and a helicopter, being a small and very light vehicle, enableing one to fly, rotating its rotary wing (a propeller composed by a hub on which are fixed two or more blades and the whole system rotating on an axel) by using the pedals, acted by his feet. The junction between the pedals and the blades is made through a pair of gears which has a double roll: To transform the vertical rotation, given by the motion of the pedals into a horizontal one, necessary for the motion of the rotary wing. To multiplicate the low RPM (revolutions per minute), given by the pedals, into a higher one, enough to create the lift and flight. The invention has, at least, two main advantages: Scientifically, i. e. it proves that the human being has the possibility to fly, using his own natural muscular power. Practical, i. e. it can be used for many purposes like: a new kind of sport, now-a-days public transportation problem, etc.
