Ugh. I have a thing on tomorrow and have to paint a bunch of models by then.
So. Not. Happy. About.

[Flying Dice]

Just dip 'em in glaze, paint 'em orange and green, like an Arizona roadside stand.



Anyone who got that gets a hug.

Also, the only reason helicopters need tail rotors is because of conservation of angular momentum.  Spin the rotor without generating angular momentum, and you don't need tail rotors or contra-rotating propellers. 

In other words, mount decanter of infinite water rockets on each end of a 10' pole carved so that it'll generate lift once in motion (or a sword, if you really want, though a sword shaped to generate lift might not be as effective for actually fighting).  Use that as the helicopter blade.  Be prepared to be whacked by the DMG. ^_^

You could also use a decanter of endless water to power a crude automobile; aim it down onto a little waterwheel that tuens the wheels.

Pretty much most mundane technology is duplicated or improved in D&D and would be far easier to create as a magic item or with a spell.

Helicopter? Why bother when a flying carpet is only 20,000 gp?

Car? A cart with a permanent Animate Objects enchantment would never need refueling. Top speed would be about 48 miles per hour.

Movie theaters? No technology invented can beat a Permanent Image spell. Fill the audience with punters and simply concentrate to give them a show, including full 3D sight, sound, smell and temperature.

What about staplers?

Give me 1/3 the raw materials and I'll Fabricate you one.

A dual weapon fighter could hold a single blade in each hand and rotate in opposite directions and he won't need a tail rotor. Because gyro-something physics.

[Toaster]

physics.

That clip just hurts my brain so much every time I see it. Just so much no...

[Flying Dice]

I suddenly remember why I used to watch that.

[scriver]

I don't know what you're talking about, that scene is completely logical.

[scrdest]

I don't know what you're talking about, that scene is completely logical.

Please tell me you are not serious.

There could be in-universe reasoning.

Well, maybe the first laser thingy ignited some sort of laser-gasoline inside each of the mirrors, which was then fired via space imps towards the door.

Also, the door wasn't disintegrated, it was dodging the laser.

It failed it's save check.
