I would revisit this idea but attach 3 turbines to the back, add a semi-flexible shark fin style stabilizer to the lower back. One motor mounted on the "dorsal side" of each limb(underside while swimming), with cones to cover the hands and throttles-allow each throttle to control each side independently(Yaw control) with the middle jet always running on medium power to keep speed between maneuvers. Then, get some short sleek flippers, and attach them with a block of foam between the feet and attach the fins together for a mermaid style monofin(or buy a monofin). Tighter fitting sleek rubber wetsuit? Then, wear scuba gear like you had, but make a shark head like cone on the top of your head, with 90 degree prisms to allow you to see forward while looking down! You would go at least 50% faster, look 150% cooler, and have at least 100% more control improvement.
@@prestongoes Oh man, looking forward to it, I have subscribed and I hope that my challenging engineering ideas can make for an entertaining video(s?) I would see if you can find someone with a larger pool that will host your experiment, and allow you to use their pool? You were really flying in this video, but make sure to get a baseline for the speed and maneuverability of v1 before upgrading to v2 and so on. Good luck and..Aquaman speed to ya!
Man those turbines are a Jaccuzy in a box ! 😄 Just discovered your channel today and subscribed right away , intelligent , but all over the place and self-deprecating...love it 👍
3:53 awww. Wifey coming to make sure her man is all cleaned up properly. My late fiancé would do this and i always thought it was so cute. I still remember on our first date, we got a flat tire at night. So after i changed the tire, while heading to the movie theater, she pulled out a wetwipe from her purse, grabbed my hand and individually cleaned the car sut and grease off each of my fingers. I think i would have thought she was a germ freak if i didn't already know her for so long prior. It might aound silly, but this was the moment i realized she loved me, and the moment i just fell even more in love with her. Man, I miss her so much... It's been almost 10 years and I still only sleep on my side of the bed and occasionally cry when I'm in the car alone.
@@prestongoes bro i agree with him, the quality of these videos is like better than most 1M+ subs channels. good job bro u got my sub and notifications
The amount of times I literally laughed out loud. Daniels comment “well if something happens, it’ll happen fast” *katies face* 😂😂😂 the editing on your videos is so amazing. The talent is unrealllll
The energy is contageous. Love it. Reminds me of when i had fun building little contraptions in highschool. I feel sad that im 22 now and have lost the fun part of me 4 years after graduating. It's just been work, stress, and bills as with most people. But watching videos like these brightens my day❤😄
you need so many more subs than you have. this was peak entertainment,. composing songs for the video, editing it all, AND BUILDING THIS THING?????? You are the man.
Can I just take a moment to point out that amazing, yet entirely unnecessary funky ass jam about jam nuts? That was better than it had any right to be, lol 😂
Very refreshing to see someone actually be funny and not just push bad jokes. I know this took a LOT of effort and trust me man it shows. 11 minutes of gold keep it up! Don’t let it burn you out
Hi, former La Jolla resident here, love La jolla shores,. Just a quick comment, the shark you saw was (probably) a lil nurse shark, and theyre harmless. In fact, as maritime life goes, they're actually pretty friendly, the ones ya wanna watch out for are the hammerheads and great whites, and they don't usually come this far east and south respectively. Usually... Food for thought :)
I genuinely engaged and i was so invested in this video until the last second of it, that's what content and entertainment should look like thank you preston for this golden content
Been watching you since you started and loved this video when it came out and was so surprised it didn't blow up. SO happy to see it blow up after the ryan trahan video - it just goes to show that once you find an audience, great content will always be great content and something that a lot of people will want to watch. Lots of people quit before that point, huge shout out to you for sticking through the wall.
Dude! The editing you guys do is amazing! Jam Nuts, Batman takes aqua city or whatever, super Gear, doohickey, the nuance in much of the content is amazing. The iron man flute and transition in the pool scene kills me. Kudos to you gentlemen. When I woke up this morning I wanted to hear jam nuts to pump up my Monday
As an avid Scuba and free diver that speed is amazing. I know that when diving into a strong current. Say 3kts. It very very hard to keep your mask on or even use your regulator. The pressuere of the current wants to rip off your mask if you don’t hold it on. And pushes the purge valve so hard that the regulator free flows. I can’t imagine 12.5mph, (about 11kts with any kind of normal Scuba gear and mask. In the video you didn’t even appear to be doubling your friends speed let alone more that tripling it. Just saying. It you were truly going that fast, that is really amazing. 5kts is very fast.
How do your videos not have more views how has the algorithm not picked this up, UA-cam is not the same dude, this is literally the content I’m searching for this should be on my home page but it’s not somehow. UA-cam needs to step their game up man. This dude is legit and deserves every subscriber he gets. I hope this video blows up and this dude gets the recognition he deserves. This is actually really good content, great editing, wholesome and good personality, would be cool to see you Collab with mark rober.
Oh my gosh…… Preston!!!!! You did it man!!!!! I remember when this video had 7000 views and you had 11 thousand subscribers!!!!!! You deserve every bit of it man!!!
I haven't laughed this hard at a YT video in awhile! The editing, humor and storytelling is purely immaculate! So much so, that I'm taking notes for my next videos 🔥
It looks like it could be decently simple to add some sort of mechanism to adjust your trajectory using your hands, also maybe some stuff to help with hydrodynamics. That could really push this to another level.
i would do a soft mount for your bottle on the front just to make it easier to keep it from wobbling while you fly. you could also do a cage mount of these around an actual set of tanks or a rebreather. pretty sure this isn't a new concept there are tons of military and commercial applications but it is nice to see we can make this kind of thing to play with if we want to.
Not sure what safety features if any you had, but you should definitely consider adding a few redundancies incase catastrophic failure had occurred. Need a safety cutoff master switch. And a way to bail out of the suit if necessary. There are some great latches that have a quick break away function that you could use on the straps to the rig. This is a great project and it would be super interesting to see this taken further with some changes in aerodynamics, power, and run time.
I don't think I can explain how hard i cry laughed at the "you too" segment. This is like if Simone Giertz had Jenna Marbles energy and I am HERE for it. Please make more videos til the algorithm catches you. Please
I thank the algorithm Gods for shining this light on me!! Laughed out loud more than once. When you are authentic everything works. keep up the good work!! an old guy in Florida
Man those turbines are a Jaccuzy in a box ! 😄 Just discovered your channel today and subscribed right away , intelligent , but all over the place and self-deprecating...love it 👍
This is the first video i've seen of yours and oh my how haven't I found your channel sooner! This is damn GOLDENE! I WANT ONE! However, I feel like you're losing a lot of speed due to the angle of the jets seeming to want to push you up. I think a more rigid rig and a sharper angle would probably do you good. Additionally, 2 more on each arm for better movement would definitely be a huge upgrade... Just saaaaaying!
You created a wonderfull experience! Nice song and videowork! I freedive sometime, and did some scuba diving, beware of your ears & lungs, take specific caution with moving up & down that fast, You could easyly blow your lung and ears with your equipement. But i'm sure you're aware of these underwater safety rules. Godspeed.
Just an FYI in case no one has said it already (mechanical engineer here), Jam nuts are for making adjustments and shouldn't be used to secure a fastener, since they tend to back out. You want a lock nut (a nut with a nyloc insert), the nyloc prevents the nut from backing loose under vibration.
yeah. Imagine if he'd just build something where he could sit inside, with enough space, oxygen and possibly even a huge battery or a gas powered engine. That'd be THE Invention
Dude .. your Video is amazingly Cut.. so fun to watch..and i love the efford you putt in your MUSIC !!!! its so coool ... !!!! I felt like watchin youtube the first time it came out.. the Synergy is on Point !

Seems like a better idea would have been to splice all of the throttle controls into one control. Also, a bungie on all of the camera/sound equipment, so it doesn't get lost.
Subscribed for the simple fact that all of that editing that was done must have taken a very long time. I wish one day i can edit half as good lol. Also this was very entertaining and dorky love it.
so sad to see that preston's long-form content doesn't get enough views. edit: so glad it got the recognition it needed

I never would have thought you would hit 12mph. That's incredibly fast for under water. Very cool!
