The only question I had after reading this article was: Why didn’t I think about this for my crash and burn project in Engr 407? A jet pack that is propelled by water, who wouldn’t want one of these? Your jet ski won’t look so hot next to some guy flying above the waves in with this pack. So why wouldn’t you want this jet pack? Each one cost about $100,000, which I am guessing takes most the people off the market for this product. However, if Bently is still making money with their custom made cars, I am sure there is also a market for these jet packs. Like most new items on the market, the initial price is high like the iPod. In time, (and I pray I am right on this one) the price should go down as the company discovers new ways to manufacture the item at a lower cost or they get more competition forcing them to drive down the cost (I believe they are the only people on the market selling this product). Another thing that comes from this product is new uses that could be developed once the product’s price is driven down or the product is improved. Overall, I would just love to have an at water paintball battle with one of these things. I better start saving now.
