Jet Boot Thrusters

[Rhyen Skytracker]

Here are some Jet Boot Thruster I made kinda like what Cad Bane wears. Here are some test of them with REAL model rocket engines in them. Yes, I am a chicken and did not test them while wearing them, but I plan on wearing them next weekend. Here are some videos of the test.

Pointless, dangerous, and potentially illegal. This gets a big thumbs down from me.

I did a ton of research on model rockets before I even attempted to try this and I had a water hose and a fire extinguisher present during the test. I do not recommend anyone else try this. As far as being illegal, it falls into the category of model rockets and they are legal in the State of Georgia. Like I said, I did a lot of research before attempting this and I would recommend that if anyone ever tries anything as dangerous as this, LEARN ALL YOU CAN ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU TRY IT and always take safety precautions like a fire extinguisher, gloves and safety glasses. But, other than that, it was very, very fun. hehe

That is a riot. I like the projectile at the end LOL.:grin:

[TimeRender]

Model rockets are totally legal when they are being used as intended, but some states have laws prohibiting their misuse. Strapping one to your leg would qualify as misuse.

I guess I just don't understand the point. It doesn't look like a costume piece since it's just held on with a few straps. If you did wear it to a convention or a party or anything you wouldn't be able to use it anyway. I fail to see how this is cool. That's just my opinion, do whatever makes you happy. Just be safe and try to set a good example to the kids.

its for my home boy thax. and his mando gear. the rocket was just a fun addition. goofy wade. :rolleyes: very funny though. and smart. but i dont think thax is goin to keep a rocket engine inside. its just going to be an accessory for his beskar'gam

[ketsuraku_anei]

no offence but thats so mind numbingly stupid...

Those things look about as tempermental as fireworks...

[Rafalema]

And it's enough pointless to be funny

hey can you upload any of the videos on youtube instead? photobucket always crashes my browser.

[Shadar Al'Niende]

I understand why you were reluctant to post this here rhyen. While i think it is important for young kids and new members here to understand that this is a very dangerous thing to try, and not to be replicated by your average forum go-er. You were well within your ability and did this knowing what you were doing.

I truly like the idea and think that you should be proud of your accomplishment. :mrgreen:
