I have been
asked by a number of people why I built my Rocket Belt. The
answer is easy, I was inspired after seeing Peter Gijsberts
Rocket Belt website. Then I wanted to build
my own Rocket Belt. My goal was to build the belt for less then
the cost of a motorcycle. Yes! That's right. I built my belt
for under $10.000.00. Generally speaking Rocket Belts are simple
to build if you have mechanical skills, and you can weld and
operate machinery. Before I started building my Belt. I decided
my ultimate goal was to fly it one foot off the ground and park
it. I am a 68 year old retired Stunt man, and I don't need anymore
pain. Another thing that is important to me is that I don't
just throw things together. Because I am a gifted man and I
take great pride in the way I build things. I decided to build
my belt different from the other belts that were built in the
past. I used a ball valve to control the fuel flow. Because
in my case that should be adequate. One final thought. I have
been building hydrogen peroxide rockets motors for over 35 years
and I have never seen one that did not work. Just be careful
and play safe. So after a little hard work this is what I came
up with.
