Nothing new here. Same limits as all others. But it does have an interesting design. Most are just a pair of rockets slapped onto a fuel tank with a plate between to prevent the rockets from blowing the tank.

Now I just need one of these, a bear suit and powered exoskeleton legs to build the coolest thing ever.

The Genevois accent is really wierd. I used to spend quite a bit of time in Geneve when I was stationed in Germany while in the Army, and it took me a while to get used to it.

Swiss German, on the other hand, is completely incomprehensible. I don't know much German, but I know enough to know that Swiss German is wierd as hell :p

Time for a revist to the Jetpack myth on Mythbusters?

They weren't really building a jetpack, more of a mini-helicopter. If Jamie hadn't gone so overboard on the reinforcing it may of worked.


Also that's not much of a jetpack, it's more of a glider that requires the extra thrust just to stay airborne. Hence the launch from an airplane. It's also apparently quite heavy.

The nice part is that if you crash, there won't be any tedious sifting through wreckage. They can just bury the whole clump together in one big casket. :)

Cremation should be fun
