That's one hell of a weight to carry unless you are converting it to a trolley mount.

25 litres plus the weight of the backpack would make you look and walk like the hunchback of notre dame

ok here is the video, bare in mind this is my first prototype, works just the same as any backpack, but much better, you dont even feel the weight, you can go anywhere, less hose to trail in dog crap, use insides, fast refilling, fill from custys outside taps, brilliant for soft water areas,

watch the video here

we shall see hitman  ;D that is the hi vis version for commercial work, if you read carefuly, can be any colour, and i have a much better version now, i would say walking about with a backpack on your back will be more noticable  ;D

very good idea

though i would hate it in the winter, all that cold water wrapped around you

now if you had a L5 and put warm water in it from your van tank, now your talking ;)

Great way to stay warm in the winter Matt  ;)

I would have thought it to be less stress on your back compared to a traditional BP

Joe how are you pressurising the water?
Does it use a pump?
I didn't notice a pump on the jacket.

it works just like any other backpack, i have kept a few details secret  ;D it can have a 40 psi pump or 100 psi  any colour, i wont convince everyone, but over time everyone will see that i am right, just a little history of the backpack idea for those who might not know, the back for w/c was born, becouse jeff brimble and lewis doubtfire (bladerunner)  they worked so hard to achieve this, then suddenly many months later the shurflo appeared, yes their ideas where scritinized and developed, and i still have the pictures today of there backpacks prototypes, so thanks to these 2 budding inventors the electric backpack was born, they inspired me a lot, thanks guys

I thought at first you were going to say you pressurised it from a mouth tube - like playing the bagpipes.

Looks a good idea though.  Just wondering what the method for refilling is.  I see there is a cap on the front so can you easily refill without removing the 'tank'? 

Good luck with it!   :)

john, you refill where the red cap is, i time it, 1 min to refill using my 12v transfer water pump, or refill direct from customers tap with di vessel, or direct from your vehicle,

hot water users will be very warm in winter, and it will keep you cool in summer, as a cold water user i have been wearing a jumper, so i dont feel any cold water on my body,

Are you going to sell puncture repair kits? ;D

Best of luck with it. :)
Title: Re: 25 litre back pack
Post by: jouk45 on March 12, 2010, 01:34:19 pm
they are not as easy to punture as you think, just as tough as any backpack, plastic backpacks get punctured all the time, and are not easy to repair, yes puncture kits would be available and the repairs would be instant, the mk2 version is praticaly industructable

I can see pros and cons to it.  I don't think it's for me but well done on the innovation Jo.  I like the way that the weight would be more evenly distributed rather than all on the back.  I would hate to fall over while wearing it as I would probably resemble a giant turtle waving its legs in the air   ;D .   Apart from that, I'm fat enough already without any artificial enhancements.  I'm sure quite a few people (with better backs than I) would go for it.

that looks a pretty good idea as the weight is evenly distributed unlike a back pack, how much did you have to pay michelin man to do the video ;D ;D ;D

stan, it is very flexable, you can move freely, bend down, pick things up, i will make some good quality videos showing it being used in real situations,
