This gonna be a banger.

Imagine these on double power, just gliding across the entire lake. Honestly, I liked the propelling across the water part more than the walking on water part.

That should definitely be a new future movie prop, dude. I love how it made you move on the water. Props to you.

In high school, I recall a book by Brandon Sanderson in a series about super powered people where the main character was given a water jet pack made using the cells of a water manipulator. It was meant to allow him to fly around the city, but was incredibly difficult to use, as while it had 3 thrusters on his feet and hand, the other hand had to stay pointed towards water for him to stay up. Before he learned to fly with it, he used it in much the same way as you used your leg thrusters. You have made my child self very happy good sir, and I appreciate that

Dude, you just managed to make the David Hasselhoff swimming motion from the first Sponge Bob movie possible!! And Aquaman’s superhuman swimming as well!! Congratulations on such great work and progress. I couldn’t help but smile the entire way through! Can’t wait to see the finished jet pack! I bet it’s gonna be awesome!!

I can't wait to see your finished electric jetpack! Awesome job as usual, your projects are easily the best on UKposts.

You build so many amazing things with the things you have, I could only imagine what you could do with a full industry behind you

Simply incredible engineering and just on a whim and it worked SO well! My suggestion would be to add some sort of intuitive vectoring so when you change your CG it precisely amplifies a counter vector/force. I can see these becoming fairly common place; the nearest neighbor is a Seabob, but THIS is way more fun. This video deserves WAY more views. I use a scubatow for snorkeling, but it only gives you maybe 2 mph and takes both hands. Having it foot mounted is brilliant and the underwater shots of just forward motion at speed were incredible.

this is sick, imagine if these were commercially available Edit: I meant for a reasonable price

These aren't just great for surface walking, they could also be used to traverse underwater at high speed

Love how this show is about the journey not necessarily the final product

As a linguist, your Australian accent is actually... shockingly on point. I'm REALLY impressed someone without precise knowledge of the dialect's phonetic features pulled that off.

It's actually insane how agile you can swim with those. Imagine what a pro freedriver could do? Or a scuba diver? And you could upgrade the battery system for more power, longer run time between charges. This is honestly the coolest water invention I've seen since the water jet

This man is simply genius! If he and Mark Rober teamed up to take over the world, we would all be in serious trouble. Keep up the cool builds. Definitely make an iron man jet pack next time.

We NEED a commercial product of this. Those are amazing, and look incredibly fun.

Bro this is something that can be Sold with success! I sincerely hope you make it into a product soon.

this looks even funnier than actually walking on water, since you can just move super fast underwater too! Amazing work dude !

This could actually revolutionize how we can explore the deep ocean, emergency response people when it comes to water-vehicle accidents or when others are drowning or even just for recreational fun if it can be made more compact and safer. The purposes this could have are on a whole different level of possibility and just the notion of that amazes me. Amazing work man! 👏

Dude I loved this. Super inspiring. Thanks!

Make those streamlined and clean them up, and they could be used as some really cool diving props

Picture this - a full on propeller suit that lets you move in water just like you can outside it. No more sluggish underwater movements, the suit will make it feel as if there isn't any water to begin with! And the great thing about it is that it would in a way make you feel as if you can fly. Edit: Just for clarification - you know the feeling when you try to punch or slap something underwater and the movement is very sluggish because of the water resistance - the suit would eliminate that water resistance thanks to propellers on each limb.

Daaang those turned out super sweet!! 👏 Def seems like a refined design could be sold commercially

Dude became the third coming of Jesus 💀💀💀

You should sell these, I think a bunch of people would love having a pair of boat props on each foot that they can swim fast and essentially walk on water with

Dude this is just a prototype for an actually insanely cool invention. You could turn this into an incredible product

If some great engineers come together to improve on this, this could possibly be useful for under water rescues.

I think you should add the mini edf's on each hand for better control.Also keep up the amazing work.

This can revolutionize underwater diving

Dude this feels like witnessing a pivotal moment of history, this HAS to lead to something big. This was fucking amazing to watch.

I'm just imagining an even more powerful version of these that make it possible for someone to jump out of the water completely and then dive back in.

absolute Gigachad energy

That looks incredibly fun!

This is some next level innovation.

Nice, could you make a video of making Loki’s scepter or Iron Man Jet Pack?

i love how theres always failures in every video, it shows that this kinda stuff isnt easy and there are always setbacks but they fix it in the end

That was insanely cool yo!!

This is actually one of the coolest projects I’ve ever seen. Like this is the kind of stuff that inspires me to be an engineer.

If Jack had this he would have survived

Dude did you even realize how much potential this work has on the field of diving and rescue and retrieval?? Like bro just made a compact sea glide. Get this man a patent now

the walking on water is cool and all but I like the part where it just propels you and pushes you through the water, sort of like an automatic swimmer, we NEED these shoes bro

best video by far you have ever made the music the ideas the ending project all of it flawless funomminal spectacular

It looks kind of like learning ice skating, you figure out how to do it, learn to balance, then you dont need your arms for balance as much. Pretty cool!

Attaching a fast spinning boat propeller to each foot... seems safe enough! Reminds me of those old toys from the 40's-50's, like the gas powered pogo stick or the radioactive toy lab set.

This is extremely impressive. By far the most advanced and well-integrated aquatic self propulsion I've ever seen

This is a brilliant product my guy

This would be so cool with some fins on his body. I love the gliding underwater and if he could get enough speed to jump out of the water that would be dope.

I love how he went from simple things like “spy gadgets made out of a pen” to amazing stuff like this. Keep up the great work bro

Forget just "walking on water". Add a steering mechanism for maneuverability & design some better, less complicated, hardened plastic, stainless steel & aluminium parts (with sacrifice blocks of zinc) for the housing (especially reducing the manufacturing build stages), and market it to divers as an alternative to flippers.

This is amazing, great work video! If you could make it so that your hands are free and you use the position of your foot to control power, that would be awesome.

If he would have titled this making Aquaman boots. It would have been spot on.

This turned out really well, I'm sure it could be sold if it were mass produced, I'd like to see a combo with this, scuba gear and a diver propulsion vehicle, underwater races with that combo as the vehicle could be the next big racing sport

I like the design where the propulsion is directly below the feet, instead of attached to the leg. I feel like that's a clever way to use our leg structure to support the upwards weight of the water being propelled. That being said, the axle is way to long for the speed it's rotating at. You should reinforce it with more bearings along the length of the rod, if you're going to improve upon this design. Also, please add a mesh in the "walls" and bottom of the propeller "cage", so nothing can get stuck and ripped off in it. If you're going to iterate the design, perhaps try to conceal the propeller, so it looks more like a jet engine instead of this "free-floating boat engine" looking thing. The "jet" design would allow you to add a nozzle (so perhaps you could gain extra lift without delivering more power) and you'd gain control over the position of the water intake point. That means you could take water from below the motor, so the motor could be above water, thus making you hover at a higher altitude. Finally, as others have said better than me, a battery backpack could offer benefits over having the batteries strapped directly to the contraption (less mass at the legs = more maneuverability, a centralized power delivery could mean a centralized control solution, you could more easily put the batteries on a boat and hovering indefinitely, at the cost of having a big long wire hanging off you in the water)

Wow this could be like a new water sport. Imagine people racing with these. I would love to see that in the Olympic.

I have to say. That's one of the coolest inventions yet and if you patent this idea, I can see many practical uses of it in a future including search and rescue.

I'm honestly surprised that divers and such haven't already invented something like this to make diving much easier. I mean they have those little things that you hold with your arms but this seems much less intrusive and tiring.

I still remember back to when you would do diy pen hacks and now youre on to walking on water, the progression youve made it crazy and i love watching all of your work.

this gives me subnautica vibes, the fast swimming like that is actually a crazy idea

That would be so fun, love all your projects

Every video this man posts makes me want to do engineering more and more

I'm glad that I stumbled across this channel I love positive engineering

If anything You got an awesome way for scuba divers to swim through the water. It’s awesome

Companies invest millions of dollars and thousands of man hours into developing new tech like this. This guy does it almost single handedly and on a shoe-string budget. This video is all he needs for a golden ticket of a resume.

‘’Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets ... any sound investment will eventually pay off." - Carlos Slim Helu

Not bad, and surprisingly worth the effort in the end.

I can imagine after this is fleshed out a good bit we could have some really cool water sports maybe even a water football lol

Honestly the coolest part about those leg attachments was watching you swim with them. just jetting through the water ended up looking awesome.

Between this and the wall climbing suit, you’re doing amazing things. Really inspiring to see what you accomplish.

Once someone asked Jesus,"How are you able to walk on water?" Jesus replied, "With certainty." Then someone said, "But we also have certainty!" Jesus then asked them, "Are stone, clay, and gold equal in your eyes?" They replied, "Certainly not!" Jesus responded, "They are in mine." (Ahmad)

looks like better served as a zombie killing weapon. Great work! It might be more fun underwater

Honestly I would use this thing to go diving, that looks so fun. I wonder how fast those things can get you under water

You should legit patent these and start producing. Partner with a company that can help fine tune them and sell the freak out of these. It looks epic to be able to aquaman 'swim' across the water with your head out of the water. Epic dude!

Perfect invention. 🎉🎉🎉

It's amazing. For getting stability, do you guys think we need to use something like surfboard Fins for making direction and Hydrofoil for making it lifting and moving smoothly

Just imagine being out on a lake and seeing him approaching you with his entire upper body out of the water just cutting through the water. But I'd love to see how quickly you could go underwater and use it basically as like jet shoes or something. You'd probably need to go out onto a larger water body to test that though. Oh he did that... sick!

Who cares about walking on water? We want to 'fly' [in] the water & that's exactly what your invention does! Awesome work!

The Navy Seals have entered the chat.

once that tech advance, I could see a whole range of sports be invented on this foundation.

I love this channel. Not only are these inventions so cool, but it’s just an engineer having fun making stuff. Really cool!

Imagine if you strapped the battery pack to your back that way you make the chassis on the feet smaller and easier to maneuver and even perhaps encase the module entirely to lower its drag in the water while leaving small intakes in the case for the water to flow in to while the propellers are active it’ll also be safer as it will leave less of the machinery exposed.

JESUS!!!🤯😱

Bro casually became Jesus for a moment

I'm so glad he pivoted to Aquaman

That's cool (maybe this will someday become real gear for divers) with some little hand stabbilisers this thing is gonna be epic

Alright, this is one that you HAVE to take further! I need to see a man actually arcing out of the water like a dolphin

LOVE YOU YUNO MILES GOOD JOB FOR GETTING INTO OPIUM

This man is breaking limits that shouldn't be broken...and i love it!

This is one of the coolest ideas i've ever seen!! 🔥

def could see something like this being used on movies like aquaman

This tech is acctualy great imagine a special force using this too get through water that would be so much more effective than swimming

All you need is a fin on each forearm and you would have an actual crazy good underwater propulsion system that would be easy to control. I think you accomplished something entirely different with this invention here bud and I encourage you to refine it. Looks way better then one of those propellers you hold in front of you.

This thing definitely has potential. With further development and polishing it would be even more awesome.

Props to Jesus for having this feature out of the box. 💯

Living the dream

The walking element of this was amazing BUT SHOOTING THROUGH UNDERWATER WAS SO COOL I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE

Ok so, you may not have been walking "ON" the water. But you get some real credit for being the closest one I've seen to actually doing it. Especially because they're the size they are. If only human technology was more advanced you'd definitely be able to do this no problem lmao

This looks INCREDIBLY fun. Probably the most usable, most fun crazy superpower-mimicing invention I've seen on YT.

Woah it looks so amazing

Honestly, I think one of the only reasons he has all that much trouble taking steps is because both of them are on at all times, if there was a way to turn one on so you can stand on it without changing direction too much and then turning the other on and the other one back off you can take steps. I don't know how it'd work but I think that it'd be really cool to see actual steps taken on top of the water, or a little under the water. Props on him for spending so much money on this amazing project!

I love how he doesn't even care about showing us previews because he knows what we really want to see is the actual build. It's very genuine.
