That was a stupid comment, you ass. Oh wait, I am replying to myself. Damnit, slashdot readers, you should have told me that I was stupid way before I caught it myself. Don't mod this up, it is crap.
I have learned so much from you! Are you hitting on all of the slashdot users? The way you talk it seems like you are a little light in the loafers. Take your sexual advances to a different site.
I don't understand... Is free BSD buried under an avalache? God I hope so, that way we won't have to listen to BSD users tell us what we are missing out on.
Alcohol got me through some of my hardest finals! Having said that, I should note that I am an Aerospace engineer. Makes you want to fly, doesn't it...
Being an Aerospace Engineer, I can't help but appreciate the efforts put forth by this brave individual. Having said that, I dare him to strap that thing on and spark it up. I would rather tie myself to the bottom of an F-18. Sure will be a great home video, though...
You mod up dumbass comments like you don't know what you are talking about. Wait a minute... If it doesn't involve C++, you don't know what you are talking about. Need proof? Try talking to a girl.
Diffuser - Backwards nozzle (slows and compresses) Compressor - What do you think? Combustor - Adds fuel and ignites Turbine - runs compressor Nozzle - Accelerates working fluid
Weight = did you see the size of that thing? Heat = no more than a rocket pack would produce Vibration = Very little (due to rotational operation of jet engines as opposed to reciprocating engines) Feasability = none (There is a reason "rocket" propelled packs were used in the "jet" age.
I would have definitely gone with rocket propulsion for its advantage in "thrust" to "I am going to die" ratio. Not that I have never wanted to strap a P&W Jet engine to my back; it just seems better left to ultraman.
Somebody should tell this retard that there was a reason that the U.S. Military chose rocket propulsion over jet. (Look at the size of the damn thing, not to mention the problems caused by the intake/reduced thrust of a jet.)
Slashdot Mirror
Jeremy Cholfin and Chris Allen are retardely smart. Just ask them. IQ = Two million
Chris Allen would straighten all of this out for everyone. Go MIT.
they did it with a rocket in the Fifties...

Hell yes!
Everyone knows the penis is the first thing that the evil jet engines attack!!!!!
Actually, Sputnik means "I am Spud Webb; I am 5'8" and I will dunk on your ass."

I am an idiot. Go Computer Science! Yay retards!

Oh man do you have it wrong. I am no fan of fords, but I would much rather get behind the wheel of a focus than strap that bad boy onto my back.
Jet engine:
Diffuser - Backwards nozzle (slows and compresses)
Compressor - What do you think?
Combustor - Adds fuel and ignites
Turbine - runs compressor
Nozzle - Accelerates working fluid
There you go.
