    I saw one of these built by what I would call  the love child of Einstein and Macgyver on a BBC show called Bang goes the theory. He used a fire engine pumper truck to supply the water for the thrust. It's on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFjih5bFfK8)  and other things like a votex canon. The peanut brittle rocket engine seems not to be on there anymore. He claims to have made it quite cheaply

    In early times, in bigger boats, people use to climb on the pole and see distant view with mono-cular.

    I am not kidding, even in todays time this would help a lot, I think people can imagin, how.

    John, It's not a myth. It is real. I saw this a few years back on a cable tv technology show. You can buy one if you have lots of extra money sitting around.

    This looks like perfect mythbusters material.  Hey Guys, are you get'in this?

    It would be really interesting to see a scaled  down version. An Unmanned JetLev. APM/IMU could do that I bet.

    It looks like a floating pump station just drags along behind you. You certainly wouldn't sneak up on anyone with that...

    Like flying the thing isn't an expert manouver!

    Kinda neat. Keep those feet tucked in. Bet the blast from the jets would smart somethng awful.

     

    We could put a APM/IMUon one of those, right?

    I wonder how the "pump-craft" follows the pack, probably just tows it along I guess...
