Waterskiing is so passé. This summer, you'll be able to fly with Raymond Li's water-powered jetpack, which is going on sale in March. And it's only $99,500! When Raymond Li decided to build a jetpack propelled by water instead of rocket fuel, engineers told him it would be impossible to manage the water's mass and thrust to keep it stable in the air.
Li, however, figured that if he attached a hose to his pack, and put the engine and water pump in a separate vessel that dragged behind him, he could seriously reduce his weight, and therefore the amount of thrust needed to stay aloft.

A six figure price. Didn't they build one on Bang Goes the Theory for a fraction of that price?
