[@brandonmccain-mccainmetalw5296]

In my opinion, Adding more thrusters in a straight line quickly hits the wall of diminishing returns. Instead, try mounting and stacking them in a cylinder and surrounding the collective ends in one large cone nozzle. This is how rockets are designed, with many burners in a ring inside of the larger cone that funnels the final air mixture in around them all. If you place them closer together in a ring and encapsulate them with a blast cone it should direct the collective force more efficiently.

[@garrykennedy5484]

That sounds plausible!!!!!

[@Ispeared]

He needs to link up with Colin Furze who has done some insane inventions & projects.... He could make that single cone thing work, not saying Preston couldn't by the way...

[@DeusExNihilo]

I was also thinking it might help if it was neutrally buoyant. It he isn't constantly fighting gravity pulling him down it might help him maintain his direction.

[@James_T_Quirk]

Its performance issues are related to amount of water it moves, when its on your Back, intake is out of water, or not getting much flow, MAYBE underneath you, so they stay submerged & provide maximum thrust available, if you can ride it...

[@theengineer2017]

You should see if Robert can get you guys into an Olympic Sized Pool to really push the jetpack and maybe move the two outer motors to the middle on a raised section or pair them into 4 sets of triangles to try to reduce the jets from interfering with each other

[@ArdalanKian]

That's an interesting point. I wonder if the turbulence from the jetpacks is impacting the efficiency?

[@theengineer2017]

@@ArdalanKian that's what I'm thinking is having them right next to each other without nozzles or guides for the propelled water, it's preventing the jetpack as a whole from reaching it's real top speed

[@stanprinsloo6225]

Awesome stuff! If you could 3D print a helmet / mask and body and oxy tank plates that are aerodynamic, which allows for less turbulence and drag to occur, I think you could drastically improve your speed and maneuverability on try number 3!

[@milkyboy1148]

the cia watching this video:

[@oneamericanpatriot108]

A couple suggestions: 1.) You need a full face mask for air but one that is streamlined. You are probably losing about 20% of your thrust just to the drag from the mask and the bottle. 2.)Consider maybe a few slim air tanks inside a casing? The casing will alleviate some of the drag caused by the bottle in your mouth. I think with those two things you might be able to gain as much as 30% higher speeds. Have you tried them in depth? Try it at about 20Ft. No waves or interference from seaweed

[@ninjaasimen2345]

3.) put more engines ...

[@joshnyou]

Honestly glad I found your channel, your charisma is contagious!

[@user-js7mu6ey8v]

Spacing them out is the best idea. Wingspan being wider means more water to push off from. Means more speed. Causing a bigger wake in the water. Creating a massive bubble to push off from. From behind you.also distributing the wait down to your feet as a stabilizer. Would help from the engines rising up to the back of your head. Needing a whole suit to keep in tightly in place.

[@alec006a15]

Loved the video! Im not an engineer (Though I'm in school for it). I think this thing would be easier to control if instead of spreading them out across a single wide plane across your back, you had them in a two- high stack. Itd help the center of thrust stay more consistent. A more precise thrust vector could also help with speed, and itd be less unweildy too. Maybe youll never touch this thing again, but in case you do, that might help!

[@d_rock4932]

I'd put them on a bodyboard

[@RyanTeo]

[@SuperMontsta]

You still need to work on your streamline in the water. The way your head and arms are positioned, olus the jet packs in a big square on the side...this is why youre getting diminished returns. Doubling the engines but not the speed. Tuck your head down, arms straight in front and squeezed by your head, create a good streamline. Make the packs more in a V formation with the point forward of course. A good streamline is a huge difference when you move through water.

[@lip345]

this is the first video i watch from this channel and my first impressions are: it feels so cool and also you look like Jonas Strand

[@davedoxey5786]

[@JosephBeardsley]

How have you not passed a mil yet? These videos are so well made

[@TruFrag]

Streamline it closer to your body, they don't have to be flat on your back like that. You could set it up, so you can independently operate a left set and a right set to allow you to maneuver with just the jets alone. Id suggest a triangle shape stack. On your back; rough triangle spread out as flat on your back as you can without impeding your movement… A tight ⛛ on each side. Add a vertical stabilizer on the center jet on your back, approx. 3" tall. On your side center jet add horizontals at 1 inch or less. As for extending its distance. Figure out how to waterproof the charging port and a backup powerbank. 3D print a housing, perhaps.

[@CauseOfBSOD]

To prevent the ingestion of debris, you could cover the water intakes with some sort of mesh (like on those small jet engines used in rc planes and random youtube videos)

[@TyradMC]

i NEED the full "put more engines" song

[@almerindaromeira8352]

Get all the thrusters closer together, maybe in a triangular shape. Tie off all cables together and route them nicely. My best bet is over the shoulders and inline with your arms. You need a pony bottle, though I would strap it near your centre of gravity like in-between your legs or in a ventral position (on your stomach) Lastly you need fins. Not only on your feet but some other system. You could put your hands down tight to your body a slightly flap them to increase drag on that respective side

[@NEURALDELVER]

Hey!! You put some of the motors on your arms and limbs. That should help control a lot, but I see that without power, it decreases your mobility. I'm glad you also wore a full face mask, at least. And the fin!! Who knows how much it helped but...cool factor, right?😅 I'm glad that my silly brainstorm was enough to spur a few more experimental changes to the jetpack, what a cool video.

[@Makanoyasha]

I would've removed the plastic covering the button toggle, then you can run a bar that goes across the buttons so they all get pressed at the same time. It would be easier to control the buttons that way. If you knew an engineer, they could even make a board that has a bluetooth to a chip that you can place on the board and synch all the engines to one controller, there are many ways to go about doing it, but the fact you're not an engineer and still made a sturdy build is very impressive. Great work brother

[@willemvonschilling2465]
