    3.2 gallon bladder to achieve 2 seconds? And what kind of pressure are we talking, would it just like totally blow your dick off or what

      I mean a bladder can’t even hold a fifth of a gallon (more like 500ml) so we are already saying it is not possible but assuming there in the future is a human cyborg or a robot the same mass and volume as a human, they would need 60psi and 3.33 gal capacity for two seconds. This info is based on water powered jetpack companies that do this service. So, I did over look one thing: the jetpacks are dual and attached to your legs and they happen over water so not sure the rest of the calculations because I am not certain whether each jetpack has same psi for it to work or it is a combined psi and the water just comes from a hose so there is no capacity but the speed needs to be at least 100gpm.

          That would be a challenge to find out. Because I would look for the material with the minimum durability, not just a metal tank, lol. Like what is the weakest material that can still withstand this type of thing.

            Silicone Rubber

            Polyurethane (PU) Elastomers

            Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs)

            or traditional latex rubber

        I remember learning a bladder begins to spasm at 600mL, so we could actually use this spastic pressure to help us levitate. In this paper, I propose…

      Well, for a minute of water jetpack it is 100 gpm, so I divided 100 by 60 seconds to get 1.6… for one second so two it would be 3 and a third gallons for two seconds assuming the right pressure of 60 psi.

          We can only go 15-20 psi. I was taking the scenario as theoretically there was a human anomaly out there that could handle it lol.
