If built, the FoilJet MR1 is projected to sell for $15,000.

The Aqua Star is an underwater scooter designed to give riders the scuba experience without requiring any kind of license to operate. Traveling at speeds of up to 4 mph, riders can dive 12 meters, allowing them access to most shallow reefs without requiring a weight belt or a back-strapped tank. While details haven’t surfaced on who makes the Aqua Star or whether or not it’s for sale, a video of the underwater scooter can be found here. We think this water toy would make the perfect addition to any yacht or tropical beach house.
