This was just way too cool to pass up posting on.
Apparently, Swiss aviation enthusiast Yves Rossy created a one-man “rocket belt” that allows him to fly. It is powered by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and is pressurized with air. It flows through a catalysator pack to create super-heated steam – this provides the thrust that propels the pilot into flight.
Completely maneuverable, the skilled pilot can fly forward, backward, sideways, up and down. Actual lift is controlled by a throttle at the pilot’s right hand. The left hand controls and operates jets for control. The delicate combination of these two controls permits complete freedom of flight.
