Monocopter - Personal Flying Suit

Andreas Petzolt has created "Monocopter", a turbine-powered personal flying suit, capable of 20-minute flights on a full tank of fuel. More information and pictures here. A short turbine test video after the jump.
Andreas decided to go for a gas turbine, driving a huge fan to achieve a high mass flow of air. This air will be directed to four variable thrust nozzles that will produce the thrust necessary to lift and control the device

THAT was unimpressive. How about a video that actually shows the prototype... You can throw a stick and hit turbines in any direction.
