Cloudbuster
In 1953, when severe drought threatened the blueberry harvest in the state of Maine, Dr. Wilhelm Reich, the inventor of a supposed rainmaking device called the Cloudbuster, and he was contracted to bring rain. The Bangor Daily News reported at the time that within hours of setting up the Cloudbuster, nearly ¼ inch of rain had fallen across the area, despite no precipitation in the forecast. Curiously, it does not seem that Reich attempted this feat again and, in 1954, the government put a stop to his work entirely. After Reich’s conviction for selling a phone-booth-sized box that he claimed cured the common cold and impotence, in violation of FDA rules, Reich was sentenced to prison, where he soon died. The court also ordered that Reich’s inventions, their parts and any writing about them be destroyed.
the government has always disliked any compition even back in 1953.

Here's why...
The closest thing we have to a jet-pack today is a leaf blower strapped to the back of an immigrant getting paid 20 dollars a day by some landscaper guy who lives in Encino. What are we getting? Dirt and dried dog shit and fleas and mites and all the other microscopic crap that's on the sidewalk, blown up into the air we are breathing while we pass, right?
Now.. imagine the air thrust needed to lift a person and transport him. Being in that jet wash is going to suck, isn't it?
And who's going to be flyin those things? You? Me? NO! Fucking Wall Street type douchebags that drop 2 grand on a glass of wine and think nothing of it. You and me are still going to be the poor Reg'lur Working Joes down her on the sidewalks because we can't afford these fucking things... we'll be eating the dust kicked up by rich people. It's bad enough that it works that way in a figurative sense, you know that 'Trickle Down' crap. With jet-pack, it will be in a literal sense as they piss on our heads on their way to a meeting to buy our company and sell off our pension plans.
Jet-packs... a big NO THANKS.
Hail, Hail!!!
There are a few dudes that fly them, but you have to drink a bunch of Red Bull. Also, have you seen the the one that uses water for propulsion?
