The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Seriously, we've seen these things flying around for decades so there's no sense pulling the wool over our eyes. We know they're out there. They've been in films & TV and everything. They've been on Blue Peter, James Bond had one, even Lee Majors had one in the Fall Guy and he was rubbish. Point is, in the time since the Jetpack was invented we've all got sat navs, mp4 players, smart phones. It's only fair we get Jetpacks. Surely the cost has come down enough for us to afford them? Remember when the DVD came out? Twenty Quid, now they give them away in newspapers. Well the Jetpack has been around for ages and yet here we are, a society without Jetpacks. Is this some sinister govenment conspiracy. Is there a colossal warehouse filled with mint condition Jetpacks still in their boxes that we are not allowed to have? Write to your MP. They keep banging on about how there's too many cars on the road. Well this is the best solution. Demand a Jetpack. Because we deserve it. And Because, let's face it, they would be just AWESOME!

JetSet Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Maybe this One of the largest stumbling blocks that would-be rocket pack builders have faced is the difficulty of obtaining concentrated hydrogen peroxide, which is no longer produced by many chemical companies. The few companies that produce high-concentration hydrogen peroxide only sell to large corporations or governments, forcing some amateurs and professionals to set up their own hydrogen peroxide distillation installations. High-concentration hydrogen peroxide for rocket belts has been available from Peroxide Propulsion, Gothenburg, Sweden since 2005,[26] but after a serious accident Peroxide Propulsion is no longer in business.

Ricey Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Why get a jetpack when you got a Zed Zeds don't fly upwards But surely thats the point.....there's nothing upwards so you might as well drive. Jet pack in Kick Ass should be installed as army kit I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
