Jetpack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was reading an old popular science magazine recently, and I saw an ad for a site selling high-tech stuff. The had jetpacks. I went to the site, and saw that they did have them, but they weren't accually JETpacks, but they had 2 gasoline powered turbines. Supposedly, this thing is supposed to lift you 7000 feet into the air (I wonder what happens when you run out of gas )
and is powered by two Rotax 503 Gasoline engines. I browsed through the site, and they had all kinds of stuff. They had a hoverboard, some kind of ion cannon thing that you can use to fry your enemy's computer from across the street, a high powered cutting laser gun (seems a little dangerous to play with), just... all kinds of really cool stuff. The also have a pyrotechnics section The site is:

www.futurehorizons.net

THIS SITE IS COOL!!! GO LOOK!!!

lol I think I'm overtired.......when you said Hoverboard, I was thinking of EXACTLY what the guy in Back To The Future (forgot which one) had... that thing was sweet

....haha, just looked @ the site, they even referenced the movie..still looks really slick though....browsing it as I type..

rofl, the JetPack would be awesome.....I wouldn't go very high though, just in case. Can't believe these things actually work.

aight, the Ion Ray gun is just plain cool...would work AWESOME on the dogs that enter my yard!!!

I have a friend who loves all these weird project things (I do to, but don't have the patience to mess with 'em).

Thanks for the link, Virus

"This is a very powerful and shock sensitive explosive. Once dried, simply dropping a feather on it can set it off! If dilluted and formed into balls, it makes a great substitute ammo for paint ball guns."

A little risky there...

I want that hoverboard, bad.

I don't Think the amonium tri iodide would make a safe paint ball. That quantity of a highly shock sensative chemical might be the equivelent of about an m-80. I would guess that the acceleration of the gun would set it off in the barrel.
