Horrendous Contenders Publication project

Two ideas.
Two manuals.
One shared system.

ALLALONG&AFTERALL turns two unconventional engineering concepts into clear, revision-controlled technical documentation. Documentation first. Hardware later.

A documentation-first project

Make the difficult understandable.

A promising idea becomes useful when another person can inspect it, question it and build on it. These books are designed as permanent technical manuals: visual, structured and ready to evolve without losing their logic.

01

Clear by design

System logic, figures and terminology are kept consistent across languages and editions.

02

Built as a pair

One manual follows propulsion; the other follows flight. Their documentation architecture matches.

03

Made to invite minds in

The long-term aim is to help curious young people meet technical ideas without a closed door.

The matched collection

Two volumes. Six anchors.

Each manual has its own machine and vocabulary, held together by the same editorial discipline.

Volume I

All Along

Rotating-stator propulsion

A structured technical manual for a compact propulsion concept, tracing how energy moves from source to useful motion.

  1. 01Fuelsource & delivery
  2. 02Powerconversion & balance
  3. 03Drivemotion & output

Volume II

After All

Cyclorotor VTOL

A companion technical manual for a compact vertical-flight concept, moving from physical frame to lift and controllable flight.

  1. 01Rigframe & integration
  2. 02Liftrotors & aerodynamics
  3. 03Controlstability & response

Shared architecture IETM-ready

Information is divided into small, traceable modules so figures, terminology and revisions can stay aligned.

The work was carried into the world—then listened back.

From Bergen to Dublin, Málaga, Bangkok and Pattaya, I met people where they were: showing the ideas, asking what made sense, and hearing what they wanted technical knowledge to become.

Many languages. One honest question.

What would make an ambitious technical idea easier to understand, trust and pass forward?

A practical promise

Help two books become useful to more than their author.

Every contribution helps finish and publish the Bokmål and Nynorsk editions—and helps make the work more reachable for curious young minds who deserve an invitation into technical thinking. The planned release is at the end of 2026.

Trying again is not erasing failure. It is turning what failed into something another person can learn from.
