Chinese underwater jetpack

Today, 11:09

Hong Kong startup XiaoTun has released a jetpack that turns ordinary divers into underwater superheroes.

The device looks like a backpack of the future — two jet modules on the sides, a 15,000 mAh battery, and a system of belts with a chest mount. The controls are simple: press the buttons on the waterproof remote control and fly underwater in any direction.

Each of the two modules produces a torque of 100 Nm — this is enough to accelerate to a maximum speed of 1.5 meters per second. Doesn't sound very fast? In fact, underwater it feels like a rapid flight!

The developers have provided three speed modes: leisurely (0.5 m/s), moderate (1 m/s), and maximum (1.5 m/s). Depending on the selected mode, the battery will last 90, 60, or 45 minutes, respectively. The AI ​​system automatically maintains the course, compensating for random body movements.

The design weighs only 9.2 kilograms in air - quite manageable for most divers. The maximum diving depth is 20 meters, which covers the needs of diving. Practical details are also thought out. On the back there is a mount for a 2-liter cylinder, and the remote control screen displays the battery charge. The device charges in just 3 hours - faster than many smartphones.

The cost is estimated at $ 1,375.
