Miter--- this looks right up your alley!!

he should have asploded!

Son, where's my weed whacker!!!!

It needs gyro balancing hardware, or a fleet of long distance runners to run along side the unit on your way to work.

Perhaps that will be another job for illegal immigrants.

I would love to toss stuff into the top of the turbine, like live cats or something. watch the bloody parts come flying downward.
Now that would be an awesome video to upload to lolcats.com

Red Green built one from two washing machines and ductape, he went higher,,,once.

the ijet.

Drivel.

Not Impressed.

She hugged him like he was returning from a space mission.

why is everyone clapping and cheering,he went about 5 foot off the ground,if id paid to see that id want a refund

I think this is Anakin Skywalker.

Prototype people.... prototype

Pretty impressive for a kid to have made this. Yes it's unstable but then so were the jet packs that really DID work and the DOD spent millions looking at the possibilities.

What's impressive is this kid made something capable of lifting a human being into the air by using materials commonly available and without resorting to multi million dollar budgets

I want him to soar, with the full knowledge that what goes up must come down

Therefore I would pay to see him fly untethered/crash

I couldn't do this. My enormous penis would weigh me down too much. I suppose I could give an extra boost to my chances of take-off by letting rip a huge fart, but I still don't think I'd make it.
And you know what? I wouldn't care, because if you have a penis like mine, you don't have to show off by flying. You just drop your pants and hey presto! Instant happiness.

I think I might look like a killjoy again BUT this thing does look strangely a lot like the one on this website: http://www.martinjetpack.com
So I guess the "homemade" part isn't completely er... true.

arseface,spideym68... Your comments leave me with the feeling U think U could do better... and I for one wish U luck and can't WAIT for the video of it.

As for the vid... props to the kid!! (pun intended) It is obvious that he has learned , with Walmart and Homehardware parts, what it took the US Goventment millions to discover about Personal Propdriven vehicles. Balance is next to impossible.

Hmmm.. I wonder if there is any 'DIY' gyroscopes on the net... If there is, that is about all this kid needs.... beats the hell outta what I made this month... Kraft Dinner with hotdogs make for an even more boring vid than this....trust me.

My 2 cents :Sorry
