The Hamilton Jet By Scott Hawkins

The Jet unit Is one of the most awesome inventions ever made, it involves powerful motors and high speed propellers to make it go. How a jet boat works is the motor spins a propeller insider a cylinder that sucks water in from the bottom of the boat and propels it out the back end through a nozzle that can turn side to side to steer different direction. The Hamilton Jet was invented in New Zealand By Sir William Hamilton. A waterjet generates propulsive thrust from the reaction created when water is forced backwards. It works just as the law, “every action has an equal and opposite reaction" says. A good example of this is the recoil on your shoulder when firing a rifle.

Here is a video involving Jet units:
