Triple booster jet pack
« on: Aug 02, 2010, 09:29 PM »
Have started on my jet pack finialy found the base i was looking for and didn't know it.  You know you look at something and it just clicks in your head.  Well this did just that,  playschool toy the gas n mow mower.

Also found something to make the thruster cones too,  the top portion of vitamin water bottles.  They are pretty sturdy but I am going to reinforce them just for good measure.  And as the title says I am going to put 3 thrusters on the pac, the third would be an auxiliary.  In case you need a quick vertical assent or a bit more lift for carrying somethin or someone.  But heres the pics of what I have so far.

The tubes on the side are bird feeders I got at biglots in a 2 pack for 6 bucks.  Still need so pvc pipe to fill in the holes in the feedrs and tie the parts together at the same time.

Made a bit of progress on this project, got the pvc and did some hot glue work on it.  Here's how it stands now.

Ok work on this hit a bit of a stand still as other things in life took priority.  But today imbetween bouts of heavy cleaning I managed to get started on the paint for this thing.  Still got to do detail work on it but so far it is looking realy nice.  Let me know what you think.

And did a little flat black on the nozzels to make it look like they had been used.

  Great, innovative work, and I like your attention to detail with the nozzles.  How will you wear it?  Cross-straps, backpack-style straps, or something else?

Seriously though, I think I'm gonna take this idea, if you don't mind.
I'm interested in making a jump pack, so this is perfect!
Looks great!

Looks amazing!!!! really nice idea and job! one word of caution tho. I added thin plastic pieces to my TD backpack once (I believe it was a granola container from costco - it had a great "vent-like" bottom - painted black it look great) It was a troop I didn't need the backpack for, so I left it in the car. The sun warped and melted it beyond recognition. Keep it cool or the thin plastic pieces will warp and any hot glue will melt.

okay so I'm stupid ;P
