World's First Electric Jet Pack Is FINALLY Here! 

Especially Dragons.

Humans are better. We have planes. Birds can't scale up their size, change speed, drop troops and packages, travels round the earth, carry heavy payloads and fly at the edge of speed at mach 3

​@@GoldKingsManyeah like Charizard 😂

RU-vidrs might copy it, for more fun videos. The Chinese will copy it and use it for their POLICE! 😅

but that goes against the green narrative!

Factor in developments in Beamed Energy towards Space Elevators, Laser Development for Fusion, Targeting Systems for Automated Point Defense, and factor in a Real World Development need and it's just an engineering problem which needs a dedicated team with cash :P No Military or Rescue Service operates without support resources, so a Local Energy Source seems reasonable. Plus if the intent is for training there's a strong likelyhood that permanent physical tethering could be justified by the use case in a controlled environment: say a warehouse with a Crane Gantry system delivering mains power. No Iron Man, but maybe a Tin Man? : D

​@@XAtmo97 I'm just talking about the present and particular use cases where high energy density is critical (e.g. flight). Of course physicists and engineers are always coming up with solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. Battery densities might one day improve to a point they are competitive or even beat fossil fuel. Some argue interplanetary rockets are a use case you can never use pure electric. I recently read an article about some physicists who speculate even electric rockets might be possible one day using an interesting loophole in special relativity. Since mass increases with speed, they argue in theory it should be possible to put particles in a loop where on one side of a proposed spacecraft their mass is greater than the other. (effectively simulating a rocket ejecting mass to accelerate) Physics is amazing.

thats because people still using lithium batteries, there is aluminium air batteries that can store far more energy dense, but cant be recharged like the way we charge lithium batteries

They could use nuclear energy and develop a way to keep dangerous radiation from effecting you…

Flight time is terrible on jet fuel, too. Batteries & fuel are too limited by space and weight. Better start upping my squats at the gym.

That and getting tangled in power lines at night.

@@archangel_one lol speaking from experience?

We could eliminate that problem by using a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator like the one on the Mars rover but everyone gets scared around plutonium. It's too bad, because its energy density is fantastic.

@@LG123ABC Just ONE plutonium particle can cause cancer, that's why they are afraid. But the solution is simple enough, make quality parts ourselves.

that suit doesnt have flight capabilities like other suits

WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

Not funny lol guy

Thank you!

The configuration is impractical, you need upper body strength to fly this, like a static pushup. Small fans are inefficient. So as a specialty vehicle for very narrow conditions. Ideally a bi-copter with large overhead rotors, preferably foldable down along the side of the backpack battery when stored= much longer flight time and we have the electronics to have it be easy to fly.

@@Tore_Lund that's what jetpacks are for

@@foxfoxy5490 Jet pack flight time 70 seconds, electric bicopter 20 minutes! Big difference

@@Tore_Lund eh, your arms are pretty much locked downwards. Probably a bit easier than holding a push-up

@@jhendies I'd imagine there is a lot of balancing involved in piloting this, so his abdomen, shoulders, back will be working all the time, it will feel like exercise.

you forgot jlaservideo

Yeah jlaser video has been flying around in one of these painted up to look like iron man. He had to lose 20 lbs to get airborne though lol

Unfortunately there's only so much you can do there. Most of the noise from a jet engine is just the sound of air moving through a tube pushed by a fan quickly. Which Is why car turbochargers and larger rc EDF jet's fans make a similar turbine whine even though no combustion is happening within them.

That sounds absolutely terrifying. If they wait to slow themselves near the ground, it would be too late for a backup parachute. Still, that would be really amazing to see.

Halo…..

​@@contessa.adellaOrbital Drop Shock Troopers?

EVERYTHING about insects is a miracle...

So Thorium Man instead of Iron Man? ;)

Lol

Oh, it did flame out at least once, sending the "pilot" tumbling down into the water. Only idiots fly these - especially around rocky cliffs.

Can't wait to splat yourself with one?

Capacitors have a miniscule charge density compared to batteries. After watching the video *"Super Capacitor Dragster" (Tom Stanton's* channel), I was amazed and disappointed to learn super capacitors held very little electric power when compared with batteries. I'm afraid the weight of capacitors would likely hurt the performance of the jet pack more than the fast release of power would help it.

Wribg

If you'd accept the definition of "good flight times" as being two minutes instead of 15 seconds -- then maybe.

Imagine a jet suit that burns as efficiently as the Hindenberg

@@nimrodquimbus912 the og version of this has a bag of kerosene burning in your hands, and the hindenburg didnt use fuel cells.

maybe just a small energy storage system in between the fans and the cell

You must be young. The resistance of the fan would increase air resistance. Thw resistance would be considerably more fuel than the charge payback.
