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

[โ€“] HoneyMustardGas 9 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

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.

what material would a bladder need to be made out of... hrm hold pls

[โ€“] HoneyMustardGas 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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
