Good Vid and who is the artist for the Vid?

What the name of this song...

Thanks

That must have been a bit nerve wracking to realize that he'd have such low visibility at landing, only after already in the air.

Hydrogen Peroxide. H2 O2 2 atoms Hydrogen bonded to two atoms of Oxygen.

Need to find a better fuel for more duration. That can be done in century-21.

There are more powerful engines and fuel, but the reason for H2O2 is the low weight and complexity, high reliability (useful when you don't have a chute option), and low exhaust gas temperatures. They'd never be able to land next to someone on LH and LO for instance. Hell they would struggle not to set themselves on fire.

By the way uploader, The central tank on that pack, thats helium to pressurise the H2O2 tanks isn't it?

I heard that the jetpack was first invented by the Germans during World War 2 as some kind of sercret weapon (but like most Nazi projects, they never had time to complete it or make anything practical with it).

How did it feel to fly?

[littlenemo5]

that is CO2 tanks that are giving him the thrust right???

[gofastenergy]

it is actually H2O2... Catalyst extract 1 particle of O, that make the mix expand to generate enough trust to lift.. what you seam coming out of the exhuast is nothing but water (steam)

I'd prefer to see one complete flight.
