Water Bottle Jet Pack

The Discovery Channel Myth Busters broke this declaring it fake.

Its fake casue they’d use a real rescue throw. lol no wait haha lol. The rescue throw asw you call it has nothing to do with the jet pack wether fake or not. They doing this in japan for fun and did not necessarily use any real rescue personel aand instead had there freind buy them the floataion device. That makes sense to me haha

As much as I love that show, the Mythbusters screwed it up. They focused their air/water ratios and pressure on obtaining maximum thrust. Had they instead focused on less thrust over a greater period of time it would have worked better. Think about it, the jugs in the Mythbusters experiment emptied nearly instantaniously. The weight of a human isn’t going to accelerate very much in that short of a time.

Clearly fake. You can see during his flight how he’s spinning around in a way inconsistent with the thrust of the pack… he’s on a hoist and a wire, spinning wildly as they haul him out into the air over the sea.
