A Water- Powered Jetpack
The Jetlev-Flyer is almost ready for production, and is generating 430 pounds of thrust, and flys forward at 22 mph, and three stories high. The approximate cost would most likely be 130 grand. Li built the backrest out of fiberglass, glued a thick layer of rubber foam and attached a four-point racecar-style harness to lock in. The Y-shaped assembly on the back, as well as the jet nozzles and the handlebars that steer them, are custom-fabricated aluminum tubes. This latest prototype is an extensively modified Jet-Ski with a 215-horsepower engine, which powers an onboard pump attached to it by a direct-drive shaft. The pump connects to a 33-foot-long, four-inch-diameter polyester-and-rubber hose. The production craft, a smaller and lighter pod, will come with a 260hp engine.
