Not quite a jetpack but very close
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Bottle rockets were the subject of my Physics A-Level coursework.
0-200MPH is 1/4 second
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

I've run some summer schools where we built and flew water bottle rockets. We joined 6 x 2 litre coke bottles end to end. Very tall rocket. 120
psi gave about a 6 second blast. Very high altitude and covered the length of a rugby pitch.
they are very easy to make, they are based on Hoselock garden hose fittings. Bloody good summer activity !
"just like that !"

The Clark cable tie launcher is far superior to hose fittings.

And this place:
http://polyplex.org/cjh/rockets/
which I believe is the source for the Word Doc above has all sorts of instructions for building and shaping the rockets.
