For my second blog I will be talking about a motorized body board, it is called the Kymera motorized body board. This body board was invented by Jason woods, which his idea came to mind first when he found that transporting and storing a 16 foot boat was an expensive difficulty, he wanted something that he could take from home at any time and toss it in the water, without the hassle of transporting a big machine for just one day of fun. You are maybe asking yourself how he built this amazing machine. Jason woods studied at Napa’s New Technology high school where he learned to build his own rockets and built battle ready robots, and then he realized that he could build a compact body board with its own motor to go around the lake or river.
You may be asking yourself how it works. Well it expels water to create a thrust and which diverts a small amount of water to cool the engine. The body board may travel up to 15 miles per hour. The Kymera also involves carbon fiber and handle bars to hold on to. Apparently there is a new motorized body board being built which will use hybrid electric propane four stroke engines that will reach up to 25 miles per hour. This invention costs about $40,000, but Jason woods basic model could sell for $1,000.
