I dare you to double it
I DOUBLE dog dare him
In power too
Double it. Or i will jump off the cliff
I triple dog dare him
If he doubles it will just be a normal jet pack
In my opinion, Adding more thrusters in a straight line quickly hits the wall of diminishing returns.
Instead, try mounting and stacking them in a cylinder and surrounding the collective ends in one large cone nozzle. This is how rockets are designed, with many burners in a ring inside of the larger cone that funnels the final air mixture in around them all.
If you place them closer together in a ring and encapsulate them with a blast cone it should direct the collective force more efficiently.
That sounds plausible!!!!!
He needs to link up with Colin Furze who has done some insane inventions & projects.... He could make that single cone thing work, not saying Preston couldn't by the way...
I was also thinking it might help if it was neutrally buoyant. It he isn't constantly fighting gravity pulling him down it might help him maintain his direction.
‘You need to make it pointy’ - The Dictator
Propulsion always trumps buoyancy but there might be something in that.
We’re talking a very small % increase though.
More blades is never a bad option in the maritime industry.
looks like you're ready to take on the final boss. let me know when u want to come out and race
6.9 subs and no comments? Lemme fix that.
Yes!!!!
The goat!!
@@RabhRai04Jesus loves you
sounds like a challenge 😎🔥
As an aerodynamicist I have one word for you - Streamlining! The mask, the, tank, the backpack - you'll break 20 mph for sure and that would be even more amazing. Great Show!
Ty. I'm a swim instructor and it kills me how he has his head and arms the whole time. Not streamline at all, so much resistance
Thank you. I was thinking the same thing.
The stick on the end was probably causing a lot of drag as well but you know more than I.
I love everything about this, but your random songs especially make me smile ear to ear man 😅
Except for the fact that it's clickbait BS
Conveniently didn't include UNDERWATER in the title
@@raidzeromatt xd-
so true im singing the song even after the video i over lol
I swear Preston’s always in a good mood 😂 literally one of the most underrated UA-camr!
GG
bro its averified am 2nd comment
the names deez
I dont think 400k subscribers is underrated but mm kay
@@robloxgiant Subs aren't a rating.
the true kerbal approach to problem solving, add more engines until you get the results you desire
Instead of doubling it, Multiply it by Pi! Make an aerodynamic (or hydrodynamic?) circle frame around you that you can hold on to.
This dude is single-handedly keeping the water jetpack company in business.
How much even are they
$500@@Exoticpengu1
almost a thousand bucks@@Exoticpengu1
350 on sale. 500 MSRP@@Exoticpengu1
i think 69.99 or 79.99@@Exoticpengu1
No joke: Preston never gives us up, never lets us down, never runs around or deserts us. Never makes us cry, never says goodbye, never tells a lie, or hurt us.
Edit: But for real, Preston makes the best content on UA-cam for sure. I’ve never laughed this hard at something before. Seriously. Also the Mrbeast and Ryan Trahan songs are still stuck in my head lol.
rickrolled
Ok daddy
Rickrolled💀💀💀
Omg, smart rickrolled!
AMAZING CONTENT!!!🙏🏾😭loved everything the production is amazing, the comedic relief everything! This should seriously become a show
Maybe a swimming cap and smaller goggles could lessen water resistance. Also placing some shrouds near the propeler intake to prevent seaweed or debris from cluttering it in every use. Hoping to see you break records with your cool ideas. More power :)
FBI: We heard you made your own underwater jetpack, we need to talk about your known associates. .
preston may not be pregnant but he never fails to deliver
the best damn content
I've never laughed so hard at a comment 💀
3rd
I'm surprised you guys haven't seen this one five thousand times before
LOLZA
This video is next level awesome in every way from the videography and soon to be #1 iTunes hit about Jam Nutsto the overal humor and entertaining interactions. It was a great idea that paid off with a cool finish. Great stuff!
Seeing the aerial view looks like when David Hasselhoff saved SpongeBob
Saw this at the top of my side bar and immediately clicked off the other video I was watching. So many great choices here. Like the scene in the water where we couldn’t actually see you but it was still captivating due to the music choice. Also that final “Double It” in the song is so clutch! If it’s true that we get better with time, I can’t imagine the heights you sill reach. Bravo!!!
Wowwwww this made me smile. Thanks my guy 🤝
You should see if Robert can get you guys into an Olympic Sized Pool to really push the jetpack and maybe move the two outer motors to the middle on a raised section or pair them into 4 sets of triangles to try to reduce the jets from interfering with each other
That's an interesting point. I wonder if the turbulence from the jetpacks is impacting the efficiency?
@@ArdalanKian that's what I'm thinking is having them right next to each other without nozzles or guides for the propelled water, it's preventing the jetpack as a whole from reaching it's real top speed
@@ArdalanKian Not to mention a metal mesh would help prevent seaweed from bunching around the propellers when in the ocean
Also Sprach Zarathustra was a great addition to your super gear moment. Truly goosebump worthy.
Dude...im not even gonna comment on what was or is right or wrong with what you built...i'm just here for the entertainment value...and you my friend NEVER fail to entertain!!!
Yes
You guys should make a podcast with Preston
This was so fun to watch! The music amplified it too. You definitely have a way of getting people locked in on the idea and also on edge/anxiously hoping you succeed. The Shopify spot was like slick!
Angle and 'wing' the support bars and then sand everything smooth and slick. I'm betting you could get 15 mph out of that setup. Excellent demonstration. Awesome vid. Liked your style. Thanks!
I haven't seen a video creator exude so much enthusiasm in years.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its literally shocking my depressed system lol
Just found your channel last night by watch the 6 jet jet pack video and I loved it so it’s perfect timing that you came out with this one today
Big fan. Double it next time
I agree with tyler
Why didn't Preston reply yet bro!???? 😅😂
Tyler Big fan Love your vids Post more please 😂
It would help to make yourself more hydrodynamic so you can flow through the water easily with less resistance. Make a cone or something to hold in front of yourself.
Or he could just double the amount of jets
@@ryanmilne5321 you know what, yeah I like that idea more.
Preston is always in a good mood. I love that I’m new to this channel. I already love it. I found it out today like it is the best channel ever.❤❤❤❤
Out of the hundreds of times that my brother's Strava account has been featured (for less than half a second) in a UA-cam video where an upgraded homemade jetpack is used to race a former pro swimmer, this is *probably* my favorite #putmoreengines Keep it up, Preston!
Less Sean please! John Moore is okay
A couple suggestions:
1.) You need a full face mask for air but one that is streamlined. You are probably losing about 20% of your thrust just to the drag from the mask and the bottle.
2.)Consider maybe a few slim air tanks inside a casing? The casing will alleviate some of the drag caused by the bottle in your mouth.
I think with those two things you might be able to gain as much as 30% higher speeds.
Have you tried them in depth? Try it at about 20Ft. No waves or interference from seaweed
3.) put more engines ...
i like how he was afraid that he was gonna die out there
and then became mad that he was gonna die out there
bless this man
I think building this into a hydrofoil wing would increase stability and improve control.
Fly to the Caribbean with this thing.
Honestly glad I found your channel, your charisma is contagious!
Awesome stuff! If you could 3D print a helmet / mask and body and oxy tank plates that are aerodynamic, which allows for less turbulence and drag to occur, I think you could drastically improve your speed and maneuverability on try number 3!
4:01 "Oceanside Beach" is a very creative name for an beach that is located at the sideline of the ocean.
Wow! Much impressive!
Watching Preston's videos before he has 1mil subs feels like being part of a secret club
Ikr

This mans a underrated youtuber he should have at least 10 million subs. Keep up the good work!
Walking around the office singing "put more engines" is a great ice breaker.
I would recommend larger props or even compressor fans if you want up power, also change to a small separate power source.
Bro I hope I get to the point in my life where I can make a full on jet pack
Just get a bunch of m80s ...done
preston bro i love the fact you didn't give up like bro you just kept going after all that seeweed shit and failure
🤝
That's badass. I'm not sure I'd layout 6k+ to build it, but it's badass.
i NEED the full "put more engines" song
this guy will always comes with a good content for his viewers
Another amazing video preston, great content, love the positivity
Imagine being a fish and seeing your life flash before your eyes because some random man just zoomed past you with his home made jetpack
This is one of the funniest shows ever keep it up
Prestongoes should sneak into the Olympics with this!!
Loved the video! Im not an engineer (Though I'm in school for it). I think this thing would be easier to control if instead of spreading them out across a single wide plane across your back, you had them in a two- high stack. Itd help the center of thrust stay more consistent. A more precise thrust vector could also help with speed, and itd be less unweildy too.
Maybe youll never touch this thing again, but in case you do, that might help!
I'd put them on a bodyboard
hahahaaaa,that tumble was great -i wondered when it's going to happen!!!!
Spacing them out is the best idea. Wingspan being wider means more water to push off from. Means more speed. Causing a bigger wake in the water. Creating a massive bubble to push off from. From behind you.also distributing the wait down to your feet as a stabilizer. Would help from the engines rising up to the back of your head. Needing a whole suit to keep in tightly in place.
Preston is getting EVERY penny out of his auto tune purchase, and honestly, I'm here for it.
Only 12? Double it and make a second row behind it
Nah make it 48
Security have the engines watch you build a jet pack that straps on your stomach allowing you to stay on top of the water see how fast you can go keep up the good work preston, go go go
I feel like I just watched one of the greatest of human feats. Awesome video!
Only 12? Try double it again. I dare you.
Hi
Your videos are HILARIOUS. Please
Don’t stop innovating Prestongoes & everyone involved.
Preston's videos are like the reality videos of Phineas and Ferb
Maybe a polka dot style intake cover rather than the slots? Instead of straight across your back try a V? Befriend someone with a 3d printer and make a cap for the top. Instead of 1 big airtank try like 3 smalk ones, one on each wing and then one in the center on your back? I love the joy in your videos
This is great feedback!!! Thank you 🫡
the cia watching this video:
DOUBLE IT AGAIN I DARE YOU! 👁👄👁
#PutMoreEngines
Brother I just wanted to thank you so much I have been beyond depressed horrible time my life and I really needed some Jimmy up and make me laugh and your videos were savior for the first time in a long long time i laughed and smiled remember, last time I did I’m gonna keep binge washing. This is what I needed someone Brian sending my life to take me out of my depression in some way I have to give you the credit for saving my life don’t care about hanging out here but I was gonna be at the point where I was just gonna end it something got me on UA-cam and I saw your video somehow I don’t feel that way now. Thank you so much. Keep up the amazing your videos are something special, you definitely savd my life
Do you know I might recently lost every single thing I had I’m homeless I’m have nothing and no mone mo home and on the verged loosing the last of my family my wife but in some weird way you just gave me the strength to keep me
The wake coming off your goggles is so sick - you nailed it!
Why didnt you just use a pond or lake.
Or a pool
Oh hey my comment made it in the video. W
Preston is my new favourite dude in UA-cam.. I love how he bought Autotune for RT outro and now is abusing the software in his videos. Love it
Congrats on 400K! 🎉🎉
Yeah, more NUTS than I had imagined. But double the fun. Well done guys
Theoretically if you added more voltage to the motors you'd Definity go faster however you run into the problem of damaging the motors. Also it'd try to bundle them up as 2 cylinders mainly to focus on the jet streaming for better control.
Its performance issues are related to amount of water it moves, when its on your Back, intake is out of water, or not getting much flow, MAYBE underneath you, so they stay submerged & provide maximum thrust available, if you can ride it...
Hand held and offset so they pull you along and you can move your arms to steer.
Hold a grab handle with the throttles accessible to your fingers.
"The ballon dipper thing that kept happening" got me man 😂
This has golden era UA-cam vibes! Congrats my guy!
Gonna be whistling "Put more engines!" while I work
LOL! "Chick-Fil-A open on Sunday kind of excited" !!!
Put the engines on top of each other to reduce the drag and try to make a round shape with the middle engine a little forward to shape like a rocket maybe....!🚀
Dude this is freaking awesome... May have to build one myself
Damn freaking badass! Just wait til goes commercial!!
Too cool. Keep up the great work my man
14:04. 3...2...1.... boooooom.... The picture starts moving at stretching speed right after a 808 bass drum boom sound effect and an epic music from Space Odyssey 2001 to seal the deal with a perfect scene.
Myes, simply impeccable content yet again. And unequivocally, do put more engines!
To prevent the ingestion of debris, you could cover the water intakes with some sort of mesh (like on those small jet engines used in rc planes and random youtube videos)
Thank you for this, looks like fun.
If i had known.... Your speed is going to be related to the voltage being fed to the motors.... (Not engines) but uh... Yah adding more engines when you have the same voltage and enough amperage to feed them all WILL make you able to defeat more of the water friction. The problem is that the motors are only revolving so quickly, and eventually your problem will be motor speed, not horsepower or overcoming friction from the water. Basically at some point you WILL need to boost the voltage to go faster, or change the pitch of the fans...but that will also only take you so far.
Streamline it closer to your body, they don't have to be flat on your back like that. You could set it up, so you can independently operate a left set and a right set to allow you to maneuver with just the jets alone. Id suggest a triangle shape stack. On your back; rough triangle spread out as flat on your back as you can without impeding your movement…
A tight ⛛ on each side. Add a vertical stabilizer on the center jet on your back, approx. 3" tall. On your side center jet add horizontals at 1 inch or less.
As for extending its distance. Figure out how to waterproof the charging port and a backup powerbank. 3D print a housing, perhaps.
You could try wrapping a metal mesh around the intakes to prevent some of the seaweed from accumulating
If you make the jets diagonally like a zigzag line, then you have more jets in less area. which makes your jetpack more compact and lighter just an idea for ja future video like the Katjuscha rocket truck
I think you should double it and put the engines into circular sections on your back that might help with the water resistance
You should tie all those lose wires together into your metal frame, and then have just one power trigger to run all your motors. That will minimize your drag in the water.
0:21 prestongoes: WEEEEEEE
this is the first video i watch from this channel and my first impressions are: it feels so cool and also you look like Jonas Strand
How have you not passed a mil yet? These videos are so well made
Try doing some reprogramming in some rewiring To allow the motors to use higher voltage Then what they would normally use
OMG !!!!... the songs are just perfect !.. why i took so long to discovery this ! huauhahuauha
I would've removed the plastic covering the button toggle, then you can run a bar that goes across the buttons so they all get pressed at the same time. It would be easier to control the buttons that way. If you knew an engineer, they could even make a board that has a bluetooth to a chip that you can place on the board and synch all the engines to one controller, there are many ways to go about doing it, but the fact you're not an engineer and still made a sturdy build is very impressive. Great work brother
You still need to work on your streamline in the water. The way your head and arms are positioned, olus the jet packs in a big square on the side...this is why youre getting diminished returns. Doubling the engines but not the speed.
Tuck your head down, arms straight in front and squeezed by your head, create a good streamline. Make the packs more in a V formation with the point forward of course. A good streamline is a huge difference when you move through water.
The last thing we need is this man double the amount of engines and build an exoskeleton suit to carry it
Get all the thrusters closer together, maybe in a triangular shape.
Tie off all cables together and route them nicely. My best bet is over the shoulders and inline with your arms.
You need a pony bottle, though I would strap it near your centre of gravity like in-between your legs or in a ventral position (on your stomach)
Lastly you need fins. Not only on your feet but some other system. You could put your hands down tight to your body a slightly flap them to increase drag on that respective side
This is awesome. It’s been a dream of mine to build something like this lol
