Water Propelled Jetpack
If you haven’t seen the videos on youtube of the water popelled jetpack by Jetlev Sports Inc., then watch here.
Essentially this is a compact device which sits on a persons back and sucks from a large body of water to propel the user using water. The advantage: It’s small and James Bond like. The disadvantage: it has a big tube that needs to sit in a large body of water.
Water sports are popular. This is a whole new category of water sport vehicles.
A few more details from slashdot:
Called the JetLev-Flyer, the design purportedly can reach a height of 15 meters, a speed of 72 kph, and a range of 300 kilometers based on four hours of flying time. A digital fly-by-wire system is used to control the throttle. Future designs may achieve higher altitudes, higher top speeds, and extended range, and even travel below the water’s surface. The American manufacturers claim it is ‘amazingly easy to learn and operate’ and they’re taking orders now at $130,000 each.
