Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here?? *edit*
 

My dad showed this to me last night and I thought it was pretty funny. The best part is when they throw out the little life ring, and figure he will go about 10 feet or so:

And this is cool just because I love F14s:

ever see myt busters, that first japanese video is fake.

that boat didnt even look very fast either.

Re: Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here??
 

Is that jetpack video real? It seems like the pack would be so unstable that it would be near impossible for the thrust so be pointing down the whole time. You would think it would go all squirrely.

yea it was done on myth buster. they had a bitch doing it, she backed out and they use a doll/dummy.

Re: Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here??
 

those vids are pretty cool. I dont think the first guy flew that far off some pressureized 2 liter bottles. could be a camera trick ???

Re: Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here?? *edit*
 

Yeah i saw that myth buster, its most likely a camera trick, but i still think its pretty funny

and as for the boat it may not be fast, but you cant tell me that having a turbine and putting up a 20 foot high rooster tail isnt cool

Re: Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here?? *edit*
 

well if its not very fast, what fun is it. its noisy? wooohooo

The Nye engineering jetboat is no joke. Nye.ca is hardcore ----.

those little foam things are the ----.

Re: Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here?? *edit*
 

davcivic, I may stand corrected... wonder what they cost?

Re: Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here?? *edit
 

I don't think they are in production..yet.

At least they weren't a couple months ago when I first saw that video. But that sure would be a badass toy for the big kids.

Re: Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here?? *edit

that jet boat was pretty cool, nice roostertail.

I keep finding one problem with the RC foam thing....the fucken gay music in the videos...........----.......

Re: Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here?? *edit*
 

If I said I wanted a Hydro Foam, I would be a liar.

I want seven Hydro Foams!

Heh.

Re: Japanese Jetpak, Turbine Boat, and an f14 vid... notice a theme here?? *edit*
 

im sure they can only go about 80mph with that boat before it starts to literly fly. Rember, its thrust powerd by an engine made to go 300mph and produces 1400hp. the faster turbine engines go the more power they make, and on the website where they show the 75mph flyby its bairly touching the water.
