Sorry for the inconsistent upload dates! We usually have a weekend or two per month to create these fun projects for you guys! If ya want, check out what we're up to in between our videos / BTS of future projects on our new Instagram pages! Ryan’s IG: @ryanhkung, David’s IG: @milky_guey
This is SO much faster than I thought it would be! I think you could definitely improve top speed if you worked on streamlining the body and diving deeper underwater so the impellers don't suck so much air.
And as an engineering teacher, what do you think the effect of the water on the contacts running with electricity. Looks like no isolation at all there. Do you think it's a proper engineering design?
I love the creativity in your channel and how you guys always make unconventional things with engineering. You guys are an example of why I want to do engineering and why it's so cool!
There are so many talented people on RUclips videos, would love to able to afford to build my own one of these it would be handy to have diving for food along the Australian coastline, well done love it.
guys, not only an unique, big challenging idea but making it work and making it look so simple is genius. very much appreciate your efforts on terrific channel. kudos
I'm an engineering student at Rochester Institute of Technology, studying electrical engineering with robotics. I love your guy's channel and all the cool stuff you do keep it up!
At this point I don't care that much about your inconsistent uploads because you post unique AND enjoyable content. I see so many RUclipsrs following the same trends while you guys go out of your way to find interesting ideas and put them into good videos. Love the content and the enthusiasm.
Love the idea and implementation. Nice job! Love all your videos. You are the only channel I receive notifications for on my phone! Anyways, the only thing I think would have changed would be to make it more aerodynamic. As a former swimmer, we always made a big deal (especially when starting and finishing laps) to make sure we are in the most aerodynamic posture we could be. Perhaps some sort of a brace to support the angle of the propellers so the arms would be free to make your body a more aerodynamic shape or a cone on top of your head. Reducing your drag and increasing your aerodynamics would definitely get you more speed, assuming the weight change would be negligible.
Add a shark fin snorkel to your back pack so you can catch a breath without putting your head out of the water and then dive without wasting too much time at the surface
Now my Daughter wants one! We would of course have to make a streamline case to put the power box and controller box in, but all together it is an awesome start to a great project, and possibly a great retail product! Do more please! It inspires my young potential Engineers!
Looks great fun. Version 2 would need a much better battery arrangement. Ideally you'd design them like a scuba weight belt or system, where the weight is on the fount, and can be quickly released. Then you could use it with scuba gear. Also, how was it controlled? You want a variable hand control so you have good speed control. A practical feature - you want to be able to tell how much battery you have left, while using it, or a can see you stranding yourself somewhere. On that note, probably want to be able to disable the front or back propellers, in case one set breaks while far out.
Wow it feels like its been ages since you uploaded. Anyways what I love is how clean your projects are. I just slap stuff together with little care for how neat it is. I know a lot of people do this but you guys make things look good. I'd love to have one of those props and motors to have something as an example.
Excellent work guys! Now you just need to make a suit of hydrodynamic armor, preferably with a built in rebreather system, and some defensive systems like flairs and spear launchers just in case anything tries to bite you.
I don't have a specific improvement, but something like this with refinements definitely could have a place in water search&rescue! Good job executing your idea! (This is the first vid of yours I've seen.)
Great video! My only suggestion would be to find a way to attach the propellers closer to the wrists. This will give you more agility in the water because the possible angle of thrust will be greater.
Not much to improve on the basic concept, but a good suggestion is to reformat the power lines to be sent from the bottom of the pack, attach a angled piece to the top of the pack to reduce drag during the swim, and to make complete vambraces and greaves mounts to help keep the motors on the swimmer and give more control to the swimmer as they would be able to move one ridged body (Tibia/Fibula or the Radius/Ulna) and with a proper mount, be able to preciously move the motor. Another suggestion is to keep the power tubes close to the suit, probably with either cloth bands that are on the swimmers upper arm and leg to help keep the tubes from dragging.
A very neat idea. I know I have seen something on RUclips that is somewhat like this and it has a very iron manish underwater feel. It had a wearable leg and hip... for lack of other words 'armor' which housed the ducted hydro jets. So basically what I am saying is streamlining and control rudders! Go for it guys!
Hey Eclectical Engineering, awesome video. I noticed that your turbine design had a strait lip (the shape was a constant cylinder without bevel). I think if you guys modify the turbines shell shape into more of a funnel design, you could generate quite a bit more power, ergo faster top speeds. Keep up the awesome work.
I would try making it be multiple propellers around the limp instead of having one big one only on the outside. Also, great video, always enjoy watching what you guys have in store!
One way to make it a bit faster would propably be to reduce the drag by designing the battery and electric control boxes in a sleeker way. Otherwise i wouldn't know how to make it better, since i'm just a boring software developer xD. Great project and great idea taking iron man into the water. Keep it up :)
Yan Bär Put the leg ones on the caf in a shell and have two on your back on top of the batteries, Military Contract in the future with that, also if you do run with this idea at least mention my name or contact me
Great job guys, looks like your idea has a lot of potential. Perhaps use only the aft thrusters so your body can be made more streamlined. Imagine a swimmer underwater with arms outstretched in front. Also, with only the aft thrusters you could more effectively use your body to maneuver. I have a DIY hydrofoil that I mounted on the bottom of a surfboard which works great being towed behind a boat but would really like some thrusters like you made to get it going.
First off, I'd just like to say how much I like this project, very cool. One thing I would change is moving the back two motors to fixtures that are on your feet. This way you can utilize the ball joint of your ankle to maximize the range of motion for the propellers. It will make maneuvering much more precise and user friendly I think. What do you think?
awesome creation! You guys don't post often but you also don't disappoint when you do decide to post. I'm guessing you made this stuff on your free time from work/study?
Yeah, work is pretty demanding at times.. We work on these projects here and there whenever we both have a free weekend to meet up. Aiming to post more frequently though.
You guys are awesome really inspired me to make something with my dad like the water jet pack. Any help would be cool for parts and stuff. Thank you and keep up the good work.
wow! what a great invention! if this was commercially available i wouldn´t hesitate... truly ingenious. i would reccomend making the battery container more aquadynamic, cause i feel you lose a lot of power that way...
I'd love to have one of those motors. Would be a great start in building something like this myself. Being an old guy who, now that he's retired, has no money left having spent a lifetime's worth on toys and fun. But one of the toys I do still have is a large in-ground pool to test and play with something like this. I've see quite a few personal water propulsion systems and yours ranks about the best of the lot. Thanks for a great video. And again, I'd love to have one of the motors.
That would be an awesome idea for search and rescue in Lakes during snorkel mode you would cover a lot more ground in the least amount of time looking for the missing subject
Excellent video and design idea. Now have something that you might have thought about but may have not implemented yet and it should make you guys a lot of money. Incorporate scuba gear into your design along with a mini exosuit and you will have something that a lot of scuba divers would like to take advantage of in their sport.
If you want you can design the box on the back to be more streamlined to cause less resistance in the water so you can go faster and have more fun ,not to be just an idea
Very Nice! I love the idea! I think you can really increase maneuverability by putting two motors on each foot for propulsion and using paddles attached to the palms of your hands (or simply webbed hands) to assist in turning, and also to keep the hands free (iron man needs the palm thrusters only for horizontal flight to provide needed upward lift and as weapons, and you don't need either in the water) . Also streamlining the boxes and cables to reduce drag, and a shark fin for fun!
Opposite. If you want to go relatively fast your legs will struggle to remain straight and your arms could buckle and flop down to your sides. If you put the engines on the arms, your arms would simply be pulled, and if the control surfaces were trailing behind on you legs, they would not strain as much either, also, going straight would be the default direction just as in a automobile.
I enjoy this video a great deal! I have some questions: How much did you need to program to control the motors? Where did you buy the supplies for the build? You could find more powerful motors to go faster.
Your design is really excellent for prototyping. The battery and control boxes need a custom hydrodynamic body, and similar to airborne iron-man projects, limb fatigue is a serious concern which needs to be addressed. I think the battery and controls need to be balanced for weight/buoyancy (with a nod to buoyancy) and likely placed under the belly instead of the back for not drowning to death in emergencies I don't really want the motor, but I would love to collaborate or discuss ideas! Legs could be strapped together with one large motor to reduce variables as long as one or both legs could be freed quickly and easily.
Just a quibble, but at 1:40 the video shows the two engineers (engineering students?) testing the force delivered. Unfortunately the metal beam that connects the motor to the force gage is resting on the edge of the walkway. So your force measurement may be off. Other than that, pretty entertaining.
Add on a very simple plastic funnel to concentrate the exhaust water so you get a more intense stream. That should create a bit of back pressure on the turbine so you might get a bit more power from the motor or more speed. You also could get really schmancy and create a steerable funnel/nozzle. I am aware of a very small engineering company called "JR3" that makes a 6 axis load cell so you could get incredibly precision direction control. But the first step is just adding a $2 funnel to see how the nozzle concentrates the flow.
I have been cruising in the Sea of Cortez in Mexico for 7 years, and this is one of the ideas I had that would be really fun in the sea here. I used a friends scooter and getting blasted in the chest with all the prop wash was uncomfortable. It would be sweet for free divers! Thanks for the great video, looks awesome!
Make the backpacks aero(aqua)dynamic! There's a ton of drag on them. And maybe make all the elements of the suit aquadynamic! (hands/gloves, face, etc)
Dudes - I am sooo jealous - just curious though is that like a couple of motorcycle batteries you're carrying? How long could it last on cruise? On full speed? Found out this was 3-4 years ago - did u guys go commercial with this - I woulda bought one!!!
That could make some interesting recovery gear. Or even filming equipment. Hell you could market a version for kids too that's lower in price and slower.
I really enjoy diving, I would love something like this! Seems like such a cool idea, I'm not sure I can improve the design because I'm not an engineer, or smart for that matter. But for strict usability, I'd love to be able to buy one of those that was attached to an arm guard (similar to a shin guard for soccer players) that has a small actuator behind the fan, so you can direct the water being pushed through and manipulate diving/ascending. Kinda like how you adjust the air vents in your car :) Keep making awesome videos!
We at Coolangatta Surf Life Saving Club on the Gold Coast in Australia would love to test that system in the surf as a rescue tool. Could the electronics be built into a jacket or wet suit?
In theory - this is intriguing. However - how about hooking in a subskelleton structure. Mounting the props on stressed nacelles and a snorkle mask going through the mid point of the bow and improving on the Scooters in the way. Using partial surfboard tech! With a steering system. Just a suggestion.
one way to improve the design is to make the electronics/battery enclosure sleeker. Also finding smaller containers or any other way to reduce the amount of air held in the enclosure. The enclosure acts like a floaty making it hard to go underwater.
I live 3mins from the beach ..believe I want to try it right away when I saw your invention. Am a diver that was amazing. Wish I could have one like that here to show my friends. I lived in a tropical island call mauritius island. I love your products wish I could have a sample to promote it. Great job bro..
I'd love to use a set of these when scuba diving. I'd just be scared of cutting off my fingers so guard grilles on the fronts and backs would be nice. Also, I don't know how you control the speed but I assume you use the pistol grip like control shown in the bathroom test which would work great when diving. A LED battery level indicator on the controller would be useful or perhaps even an audio warning when batteries are low.

Eclectical Engineering this vidio is awsome
wow thats cool. Hook me up fam!
Its fine just the fact you try your best to make videos still 👍🏼 still the best content on youtube in my opinion
Eclectical Engineering j
Ryan & David i
Bahaha, loved it! Keep it up guys!
the Hacksmith you are also so Good
the Hacksmith i love your channel😍
The Hacksmith YES.
FINISH IRON MAN PROJECT
the Hacksmith not as good as non-water iron man though is it? 😏
This is SO much faster than I thought it would be! I think you could definitely improve top speed if you worked on streamlining the body and diving deeper underwater so the impellers don't suck so much air.
How the hell does this channel not have more subscribers?
I know!! Tell everyone - the Jet Pack is coming 2019!!
becouse it is'nt well-known
i know faccs
@@der_municycler stfu
I'm a engineering teacher this was awesome I wish you would post were the motors and props came from...maybe a Kayak with prop power
And as an engineering teacher, what do you think the effect of the water on the contacts running with electricity. Looks like no isolation at all there.
Do you think it's a proper engineering design?
I love the creativity in your channel and how you guys always make unconventional things with engineering. You guys are an example of why I want to do engineering and why it's so cool!
You guys are seriously gonna be my new favorite science/invention channel. You guys ROCK keep it up!
THIS. THIS. OUT OF ALL THE ENGINEERING STUFF THATS OUT THERE IS ONE OF THE MOST COOL AND CREATIVE AND APPLICABLE THINGS! MORE PEOPLE NEEDA SEE THIS.
There are so many talented people on RUclips videos, would love to able to afford to build my own one of these it would be handy to have diving for food along the Australian coastline, well done love it.
guys, not only an unique, big challenging idea but making it work and making it look so simple is genius. very much appreciate your efforts on terrific channel. kudos
You guys are the most unique channel on youtube. Every video is amazing you guys make. Keep up the amazing work you guys make 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the support, Nick!
Eclectical Engineering no problem! Thank you if anything lol
Thanks Nick. Been a long old slog but we're now fully funded, into development and heading for production - watch our SM for details.
I'm an engineering student at Rochester Institute of Technology, studying electrical engineering with robotics. I love your guy's channel and all the cool stuff you do keep it up!
I want to have one of these with less power! It's very nice to explore the underwater life with it!
You guys are one of the best channels ever,combining engineering and entertainment in a unique and awesome way keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Thashlin. The Jet Pack is (finally) coming in 2019!
At this point I don't care that much about your inconsistent uploads because you post unique AND enjoyable content. I see so many RUclipsrs following the same trends while you guys go out of your way to find interesting ideas and put them into good videos. Love the content and the enthusiasm.

Finally a new video! Been looking forward to seeing more of your awesome inventions :)
Add a shark fin snorkel to your back pack so you can catch a breath without putting your head out of the water and then dive without wasting too much time at the surface
Peter Sripol must be jealous😂😂
Love you guys so glad that there's a new video!!
That is exactly what I need! This would enable me to finally reach the chart for the swimming marks at school! (I wish this was a joke)
Now my Daughter wants one!
We would of course have to make a streamline case to put the power box and controller box in, but all together it is an awesome start to a great project, and possibly a great retail product!
Do more please!
It inspires my young potential Engineers!

That is a great idea. I feel just the two arm jets would be ample for weekend fun. Great video...
Hi. Can I please have the link to buy the propellers and motor?
The drag on the battery pack + bulky look could be reduced with a water proof bookbag. This would be awesome as a commercial product. Truly inspiring
Excellent work guys! Now you just need to make a suit of hydrodynamic armor, preferably with a built in rebreather system, and some defensive systems like flairs and spear launchers just in case anything tries to bite you.
I’d add fins to the motor shells allowing descent and ascent of your body more easily, Super cool build👌
dude. I think you have invented the start of a new sport. Motor or not, I just subscribed.
Thanks Dude.
I don't have a specific improvement, but something like this with refinements definitely could have a place in water search&rescue! Good job executing your idea! (This is the first vid of yours I've seen.)
I love the setup. I think you should integrate it with a scuba setup. Imagine diving and not using as much air.
Awesome video! Great work on design and fielding that idea.
Superb Jetpack... Love your projects. Hats off to you guys
Great video! My only suggestion would be to find a way to attach the propellers closer to the wrists. This will give you more agility in the water because the possible angle of thrust will be greater.

Will bear in mind Yan. Been a long old slog but we're now fully funded, into development and heading for production - watch our SM for details.
+kgbme Someone else already made a backpack version but this could combine with that for feet to turn or for more speed
saw this recently on social media, reminds me of Gravity Industries in the beginning, but different medium, great work!
this should have been integrated with a scuba tank or a least use a snorkel. what incredible fun this project looked like. Well done!

i could definitely see this being re-engineered to be more streamlined and user friendly and being sold as a commercial diving product
awesome creation! You guys don't post often but you also don't disappoint when you do decide to post. I'm guessing you made this stuff on your free time from work/study?
Yeah, work is pretty demanding at times.. We work on these projects here and there whenever we both have a free weekend to meet up. Aiming to post more frequently though.
awesome, I'm an EE major as well so this stuff is interesting to me
You guys are awesome really inspired me to make something with my dad like the water jet pack. Any help would be cool for parts and stuff. Thank you and keep up the good work.
This video was soo sick, love how you guys actually make engineering so ezciting.
As a diver I loved this...
Those scooters you showed, are expensive as hell
Reminds me of my favorite cartoon: Centurions !! the Green Guy!!! Amazing
wow! what a great invention! if this was commercially available i wouldn´t hesitate... truly ingenious. i would reccomend making the battery container more aquadynamic, cause i feel you lose a lot of power that way...
I'd love to have one of those motors. Would be a great start in building something like this myself.

GREAT FUTURE CONTINUE WITH YOUR IDEAS 👍🏻!
That would be an awesome idea for search and rescue in Lakes during snorkel mode you would cover a lot more ground in the least amount of time looking for the missing subject
For someone slowly developing an rov this really inspired me to make custom thrusters.
Excellent video and design idea. Now have something that you might have thought about but may have not implemented yet and it should make you guys a lot of money. Incorporate scuba gear into your design along with a mini exosuit and you will have something that a lot of scuba divers would like to take advantage of in their sport.
If you want you can design the box on the back to be more streamlined to cause less resistance in the water so you can go faster and have more fun ,not to be just an idea
There is no chance that we had as much fun as you did
Very Nice! I love the idea!

Will bear in mind for product dev. Jonathan.
When he's above water he looks like David Hasselhoff from the spongebob movie
Way to go! Love what you guys are doing!
Hours of hard work for our entertainment. Nice!
We aim to please. Been a long old slog but we're now fully funded, into development and heading for production - watch our SM for details.

I think the battery and controls need to be balanced for weight/buoyancy (with a nod to buoyancy) and likely placed under the belly instead of the back for not drowning to death in emergencies I don't really want the motor, but I would love to collaborate or discuss ideas!
Legs could be strapped together with one large motor to reduce variables as long as one or both legs could be freed quickly and easily.
How has this not blown up
Just a quibble, but at 1:40 the video shows the two engineers (engineering students?) testing the force delivered. Unfortunately the metal beam that connects the motor to the force gage is resting on the edge of the walkway. So your force measurement may be off. Other than that, pretty entertaining.
Thanks Ferndalien.
Ferndalien you didn't look at the Rig properly.................
Add on a very simple plastic funnel to concentrate the exhaust water so you get a more intense stream. That should create a bit of back pressure on the turbine so you might get a bit more power from the motor or more speed. You also could get really schmancy and create a steerable funnel/nozzle. I am aware of a very small engineering company called "JR3" that makes a 6 axis load cell so you could get incredibly precision direction control. But the first step is just adding a $2 funnel to see how the nozzle concentrates the flow.
This is such an awesome project!
You guys are awesome and the best nerds ever
Thanks James. Been a long old slog but we're now fully funded, into development and heading for production - watch our SM for details.
I just found your channel from a tech blog. Very cool experiment.

I used a friends scooter and getting blasted in the chest with all the prop wash was uncomfortable. It would be sweet for free divers! Thanks for the great video, looks awesome!
hello, which engine did you use in this project, do you have a link or model?
Here's an idea can you rig one of those to my prosthetic leg so I can use it like a jet while I swim
Awesome video guys. Was it as fun as it looked 😁
Another awesome video guys!!
This is truley amazing. I have been trying this for a while now and i keep coming up short. 👏 congrats. 😀
Make the backpacks aero(aqua)dynamic! There's a ton of drag on them. And maybe make all the elements of the suit aquadynamic! (hands/gloves, face, etc)
Dudes - I am sooo jealous - just curious though is that like a couple of motorcycle batteries you're carrying? How long could it last on cruise? On full speed? Found out this was 3-4 years ago - did u guys go commercial with this - I woulda bought one!!!
Guys that’s brilliant lots of power :) next to develop a streamline suit to go with and see the speed double ;)
BRO this device makes you faster than (or slightly faster) Running
Super cool idea! I'll have to DIY my own set up ;)
That could make some interesting recovery gear. Or even filming equipment. Hell you could market a version for kids too that's lower in price and slower.
I really enjoy diving, I would love something like this! Seems like such a cool idea, I'm not sure I can improve the design because I'm not an engineer, or smart for that matter.

Outstanding camera positioning 💥🍕🍝👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🛸🛸🛸🛸Really cool 😎 inside look at electrical engineering well Done 👍
Old video, but can you provide the brand/model of motor/prop/housing that you used?
Subnautica devs need to take notes. Would love to see this as a suit upgrade.
Peter Sripol did that! It workds just as well! Nice video :)
would it be possible to make this compatible with a scuba suit? for much deeper swimming capabilities.
love your creations guys
the little touches to make it more hydrodynamic would help: contain the wires, add fairing to the backpack. Also, what did you use for batteries?
Good guys! Excellent composition! Simple and functional ... Great.
one way to improve the design is to make the electronics/battery enclosure sleeker. Also finding smaller containers or any other way to reduce the amount of air held in the enclosure. The enclosure acts like a floaty making it hard to go underwater.

Awesome work guys, Great video
That was pretty cool, good work!
I'd love to use a set of these when scuba diving. I'd just be scared of cutting off my fingers so guard grilles on the fronts and backs would be nice. Also, I don't know how you control the speed but I assume you use the pistol grip like control shown in the bathroom test which would work great when diving. A LED battery level indicator on the controller would be useful or perhaps even an audio warning when batteries are low.
