All I can say is WOW. Not much information seems to be available but it looks like the Water-Powered Jet Pack is tethered with water hoses to a tow-behind water pump. I would assume that the water pump would be a jet pump running on gas which could mean that you could have hours of fun flying around the lake.

"A new design for jet packs uses a system of conduits to push water from an engine below the surface of a lake through thrust nozzles on the pack."

Hi Capdiamont,
Give it a try again, it seems to work fine on my end. It’s a Flash player so you may have to update your player version.

I bet his max altitude is limited not just by the length of the hose, but by the weight of the hose since it’s filled with water – longer hose wouldn’t necessarily mean more altitude.

Cool! I wonder what it would do if he dove underwater with it.

Thats a awesome idea, i bet this is a lot of fun to fly.
I guess that heavy hose also serves as stabilization, since it looks very controllable.

Wonderful 🙂

Ha! That’s seriously awesome and looks like a hell of a lot of fun!

It’s all fun and games until he loses control and crashes into a tree.

Is any one making this water jet pack? I’m 74 years old and
can’t wait much longer to fly with this thing.
