Ditch the flippers. This wetsuit uses a skirt of material around the midwaist that expands and contracts to provide thrust, just like your pet granrojo, (big red jellyfish).
Two-piece swimsuit model still in development, as during the trial run, our test technician was stung to death by a male
jellyfish apparently wanting to reproduce.

Croissant, but only if you post a picture of you wearing one... |
|

Originally I wanted it as a swimsuit, but then the implications of being propelled headlong by material attached to other material that also surrounds certain vital areas was unappealing. |
|
| |
DC, me in a wetsuit? A jellyfish would be shapelier. Perhaps po's photoshop... |
|
| |
Um... using nanotubes, and custard somehow. |
|
| |
I don't rightly know. A skirt of spandex material around an expansion spring, contracted by using some sort of drawstring system? |
|
| |
Or maybe you kick forward with both of your legs, causing the hoop to open up, and flatten as you pull your knees back in. |
|
| |
Would it work any better than flippers? |
|
| |
and along over the water similar to a hovercraft. |
|
| |
Perhaps your test technician would have appreciated a Jellyfish Repulsion Wetsuit! Could the two be combined - possibly by deploying jellyfish-style stingy things on the extremities of the wetsuit? |
|

"Don't mess with me, man. I have a jellyfish, and I know how to use it." |
|
| |
got the weirdest mental pictures + |
|
| |
Ooh, ooh ooh. Is it see through? Want one, want one, want one. When I drift gracefully by, blissfully encased at the heart of a warm, pulsating jelly, onlookers will catch a glimpse of a diffuse pink mass in the centre through the translucent whitish/purple material and they'll think that I was the jellyfish's last meal. |
|
| |
Imagine being inside one. All the sounds muffled and liquid, the sunlight glowing through the jelly walls in a golden haze. |
|
| |
Wetsuit, nothing! I want a personal jellyfish submarine like this, with gel-cables to make it flap as I scoot along the reef like the embryo-dude from "2001." |

(waiting paitiently for a picture, [po]'s or not) |
|
| |
Might be waiting for awhile... no time these days. Perhaps this weekend if I'm really bored. |
|
| |
If you can see through this suit the same as with a jellyfish, and attractive female divers start wearing them regularly, I approve! |
|
| |
Maybe you could genetically alter the person to be born with such a feature, then it's control would be a simple series of thoughts just lke moving an arm or leg. |

You get the Southern California diving vote....I'll test pilot for you if you wish. Although I don't forsee any huge commercial success, I'd love to come up on other divers in this rig.... |
|
| |
It's very poetic and flowery. I like it very much.
I'll buy one ASAP. Nobody will notice my beer potbelly
while wearing one. Croissant. |

[bob], click the word "for" next to the idea title. |
|
| |
(looks at [bob]'s user page) You've been here since 2001 and you just think to ask now? |
|
| |
Hey, [World], I bet you didn't know [bob]'s your uncle. |
|
| |
Hey... don't get on [bob]... I saw his idea about the windshield washer thingy. I like it. |
|

ummm let"s see...ring of spring steel ribs at waist attached to skirt of waterproof spandex with a noose of wire at tips of ribs leading to two handed pullbar at / or below the navel. Pulling bar from waist to over your head tightins noose and constricts skirt exspelling water providing thrust allowing legs to steer the body. Feed this person a croissant as this will move, s l o w l y m o v e . Eureka! July 28 2004 |

Next idea coming will be "how to turn jelly fish into scuba divers" |
