    @Its off the Hizzle fo $hizzle My Dizzle: yeah. The credits on the post should say "JetLev via Engadget via Gizmodo" since Engadget only got around to posting it today, which I'm sure why it's here at Gizmodo today too.

    Was the water he used from the lake itself cause that would be a never ending source which would be great.

    @Mike Camilleri: Now you just need to get over the fact that you need something to power the pump to get the water and pressurize it, and THAT would be great. Happen to have a never ending power source you've been hiding?

    They probably have a grille or filter at the pump's inlet to prevent particulates and fish from entering. Nice invention, but probably more useful in a recreational pool/lake than in a firefight. You wanna be using all that water to actually extinguish the fire rather than raining buckets down on passers by and holding up one guy in the air.

    @No,Comma_GitEmSteveDave:


    Look closely behind him in the video. He's towing his pump with him. It looks like a modified jet-ski. I wonder if he could get up any higher with a longer hose?


    It would be interesting to see what one of these could do, hooked up to a fire hydrant though.
