Interesting he chose to propel it with a "fin/tail"
Would be great to pick that guy's brain on that project.
If the motor moving the tail is powered by air? (You've got a lot of it in high pressure... might as well use that energy) that and batteries weigh a bit...
even the LiIon ones add a lot of weight if you pack them in there.

I think it's actually peddle driven.

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. But I think a Mirage drive would be considerably more efficient.
