Description: Check us out on IG/FB for extras, BTS, and highlights! instagram.com/engineeringdudes facebook.com/RyanAndDavid Hit the subscribe button and comment how you would've improved our design. We might make a jetpack 2.0! This video goes out to everyone who understands the pain of being poor swimmers... the public shaming at the beach, the JV coach facepalming while you founder in the shallow end, the catcalls of “OH LOOK IT’S THE SUBMARINE. YOU KNOW WHY? CAUSE HE SPENDS MORE TIME UNDERWATER THAN ABOVE IT.” Oh how their words hurt. But alas! Where there’s a problem, engineering can provide the approximation of a solution. Can’t swim very well? Strap a very heavy assortment of electronics to yourself in the hopes that you won’t be (i) electrocuted or (ii) dragged straight down to the bottom. And here at R&D we have an abundance of hope and a healthy disregard for grievous injury. So join us while we explore the profound joys of affixing massively overpowered motors to our limbs! Will it work? Will we survive? Well we probably wouldn’t be writing this vid description if one of us died... so yeah, it probably worked. SPECIAL THANKS: Google’s Making and Science Team for sponsoring the video and being totally awesome patrons of science and engineering media. Check out their channel at youtube.com/makingscience #sciencegoals Ace, our close friend and an incredible engineer who lent an invaluable hand testing these killer motors and propellers. Check out his consulting company, Beaker and Wrench beakerandwrench.com - if you need to make anything crazy this guy can do it. Craig, who helped us find some sweeeet filming locations and took some way cray drone footage. His Instagram is also super clean - hit him up @craig_hung if you’re one of those weird people who uses IG on your computer...

Even though we did, we can’t condone anyone else following our misguided impulses. There’s no merit to a motorized arms race (get it?) because someone will probably get hurt. I mean seriously, you could keep strapping progressively larger engines to your extremities until eventually they just quarter you like you’re a Medieval peasant. It’s up to you to know your limits and show some restraint. Sheesh. Anyway, visit our fb page to see the Bill of Materials if you want to build one too.
