Thanks a ton, I really appreciate all the help. Now how would i go about calculating the rate of water usage? I can't find much on this and I saw a video with too much pressure and not enough water, the guy had plenty of thrust but this did not end well. Any formula for this?

Amount of thrust required for flight must be > body weight, correct? And from there the more thrust you have, the faster you will accelerate/your top speed will increase? also if 150 p.s.i. of pressure is pushing water through a 3 square inch opening that mean 450 lbs of thrust yes? Note: I...

Will do, I understand the jetpack is a "better in theory" idea i just thought that with pneumatics, and i little innovativeness the weight of a jet could be eliminated and a substantial amount of thrust could still be achieved

I would think someone would have thought about this already, I'm not taking physics so forgive my assumptions about water flow, thrust etc. but, If I were to say... take a 12" I.D. 24" section of PVC Pipe filled about 85% of the way, 6^2*3.14*24/231*.85 = so about 10 gallons, 80 pounds of water...
