Water Jetpack Is, Simply Put, Awesome

This video warms my heart and makes me think there’s hope for humanity after all. It’s a water-powered jetpack, tethered to a pump that keeps the H20 flowing. And the guy in the video looks totally pleased with its smooth operation, yet he’s also calm and collected. I’d be flipping out; it is a jetpack, after all. Sure, it doesn’t have the limitless possibility of a fuel-powered pack, but it also avoids the risk of a fiery death. Where can one acquire this great invention and how much does it cost? It’s not clear, but if we get vocal enough maybe some cunning manufacturer will answer our prayers. [GizmoWatch via Dvice]
