Ever dreamed of swimming like superman? This gadget will make you feel
like a Superman/Aquaman underwater. S.C.P. Marine innovation was
founded by Simon and Chris who have come up with a cool gadget design
which if manufactured will be able to free your legs of all the hard
work they need to do when you’re underwater. The gadget is being called;
‘x2 Underwater Jet Pack’, not a very cool name but who knows maybe they
decide to change it afterwards.
The gadget is essentially a portable system which assists you in
propulsion underwater. These jet packs, mini in nature, can be attached
to your arms and you’ll be able to swim in water like Superman or
Aquaman. The designers are the founders of this UK start-up who are
brothers. This family brain child will allow scuba divers and
free-divers to basically ‘fly around underwater’ as per the brothers.
There aren’t many details available on this gadget so far but what we do
know comes directly from S.C.P. Marine Innovation’s press release which
said that the gadget will have ‘the latest lithium battery technology
coupled with state of the art digital motors and a wireless control
system’ and ‘is fast, maneuverable, un-tethered.’ Also, these mini jet
packs are capable of generating ‘powerful vectored thrusts’ which will
help improve the user’s movement of arms.
Although there is a huge difference as of now between the conceptual
design and the prototype which has been developed but the gadget is
still frikkin’ awesome. S.C.P. is still trying to raise funds for the
jet pack though, but we are sure this will happen soon enough. As of
now, only 31% funding has been completed.
The gadget is priced a bit high at $5,700 but hey superpowers do come at a great price.
