Jetpack powered by water

water jetpack

There’s a new kind of jetpack available. One that isn’t powered by rocket fuel and stays up for more than a few seconds.

What powers the JetLev-Flyer is copious amounts of the most common liquid on earth. Water.

This water is pumped out of the jetpack at an insane pressure which in turn gives the pack enough lift to take you 50 feet (15 meters) higher.

At a top speed of 45 mph (70 km/h) and an impressive range of 186 miles (300 km), you could fly out to Cuba early in the morning, spend a nice day on the beach there, refuel your jetpack and be back in Florida just in time to enjoy the sunset.

The downside? You’ll need to smuggle in a lot more than cigars to pay off whoever financed your amazing $100,000 jetpack.

And the other downside is yellow and floats on the water below you. Yes, it’s the large hose attached to the “boat” that is sucking the water up and keeping you in the air.

Still a lot better than that blasted fuel rocket that keeps drpoping me on my haed and runiign ym splelning.

    Designer Ramke’s invention can power the rider to a height of 50 feet (15m),has a top speed of 30mph, and can travel almost 200 miles before it needs to be refuelled.A floating pump powered by a 150 horsepower four-stroke engine sends water through a 140ft-long (43m) hose to a pair of nozzles mounted on the jet pack.The jet leaving the nozzles is sufficiently powerful to push the rider off the ground.hydrogen in cars
