JetLev

JetLev is a water-powered jetpack.  Like a bookbag but heavier!  A 16 yr old boy built this jetpack and it is coming out this summer.  It has a light weight carbon fiber backpack, a 10 meter hose, and an engine that floats on the water.  Can you image floating on water?  The engine sucks the water through the hosse and then it goes through the two adjustable nozzles on the backpack.   The thrust of the water is 500 pounds.  Want to guess the price?  The cost of one of these bad boys is $136,000, no joke!  Read more on it at:  http://www.digitaltrends.com
