Abstract
A personal flying water jet apparatus consisting of two towing connected units: one is a floating platform, mainly an inflatable Ski Tube (12A) (and so on), equipped with water jet nozzles (18) directed downward and mounted on both sides by means of brackets (20); the other is an inlet port (24) fixed on a tow line (16) and connected with nozzles (18) by mean of a hose (22). While the tube is being towed, the kinetic head appears and pressurized water is discharged at the nozzles (18) producing a thrust, so the rider (10) will fly. An additional version of the apparatus is: the nozzle (18) can be fixed on the rider's (10) back, so this lifting assembly performs like a Backpack, but the floating platform can be made in the shape of a life jacket (12B).
Claims4
A personal flying water jet apparatus consisting of first and second units, being towed along the water's surface by means of a tow line connected to a towing vessel, said first unit is a flotation platform for a rider which is made in the shape that is selected from the group consisting of either an inflatable tube on which the rider may lay, or a backpack which the rider puts on, and both said platforms are configured to be lifted above the water's surface by means of a hydrodynamic water jet lifting force, both of said first and second platforms are equipped with water jet nozzles directed downwardly, said second unit is a conical contraction inlet port located under the water's surface and configured for the supply of water to the water jet nozzles from a kinetic head which appears as a result of said apparatus is being towed by the towing vessel, the inlet port being connected with the nozzles by means of a flexible hose.
