Anesthesia Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 In order to run a jetpack you would need smaller versions of rocket engines that still contained most of the power and u would need rocket fuel as fuel. That isn't true; they can, and have, been run from compressed nitrogen. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auberean Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Jet packs do exist, and work. They were flying them around at the first superbowl's halftime show. This was in 1967, mind you.

Militaris Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The problem with them lies not in their cost (though it is high), but in the fact that the fuel recquired is too great. Jetpacks have been built. The most successful one could only fly for around 17 seconds though, with the ammount of fuel it could feasibly carry. Meh, there is a simple solution to this. Just have a long tube which is connected to a large fuel tank on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knives669 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Even if they had jetpacks, I wouldn't want one. I remember my brother tried to make one a long time ago (he was six or seven) by tying a box fan to his back. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadburys_egg Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I wouldn't ride one if I had the chance. I tend not to like things that have a high risk of breaking my limbs It would only break your limbs if you flew it wrong. :shame: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying cars, that should be in about 2 years. But jetpacks? What have you been smoking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 I think they would make a license for using jetpacks. So "idiots" can't fly them into brick walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashi Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 If you invent a jet-pack that doesn't just ... A. Explode upon initialization. B. Melt the skin off your legs. Then I'll eat my own left arm. My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
