..."All you do is fire a rope to the top of the structure with a harpoon gun and a grappling hook and then fit the rope to the device, caled a powerquick. Then just sit back and squeeze the lever. (It)...can lift 145kg at a rate of 1m/second upto 250m on one battery....blah blah blah".

"...Us military wants one that is 2/3rds the size and can lift 100kgs at 3m/second using a motor which burns a solid chemical propellant. They (Bonanza products) are working on it - propellant will be good for 33 metres blah blah blah".
