2007-07-09T14:09:00.000-07:00

BLACK RIVER, Michigan --(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2007--Dr. Jacob Robert Shrum's Project Jet Pack released data today from the first round of open air scientific testing of the prototype Haeftaeman™/Bell Aerosystems Design Medical Lift-Response Jet Pack.

Towing subject mass of 262 kilograms, the PJP prototype Medical Lift-Response Jet Pack achieved initial thrust of 980.40 lbf and peak arc thrust of 2098.12 lbf. Flight period stability vacillation readings ranged from 46,000 Hz to 103,000 Hz. Maximum altitude, reached .78 seconds after launch, was 476.8 meters. Blast disintegration was 96%.

Dr. Jacob Robert Shrum, founder of Dr. Robert Shrum's Project Jet Pack, released the following statement:

"You simply cannot look at these test results as anything other than total vindication of the efforts of myself and the entire Project Jet Pack team. We are closer than ever to bringing solitary jet propulsion technology to the ordinary Americans that need it."

Dr. Shrum will embark on a region-wide investment road show to publicize this PJP breakthrough and to raise funds for further development of the Bell Aerosystems design.

Project Jet Pack also announced today that Troy Fenster, Director of Systems, will be taking a temporary leave of absence to pursue educational opportunities.

Swisher Baptist Elementary Third Graders to Visit Creation Museum

2007-06-28T12:57:00.000-07:00

SWISHER, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2007

Swisher Baptist Elementary School Principal Goddard W. McTierney announced this week that Swisher Baptist Elementary School third graders will visit the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky in the upcoming school year. The decision settles weeks of disagreement between parents over whether a visit to the Creation Museum would be appropriate, given that it may cut into the month-long sessions of structured silent prayer and reflection in which Swisher students normally engage at the beginning of each academic year. McTierney was able to broker a compromise between parents favoring the competing plans by requiring that the entire bus ride to the Creation Museum will consist solely of structured silent prayer and reflection.

The Creation Museum field trip, along with the sessions of structured silent prayer and reflection, will be led by Dea. Herbert F. McGerbert.

Project Jet Pack News: Test Subject Kevin Released from Hospital

2007-05-21T18:08:00.000-07:00

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa --(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2007

A 36 year old Project Jet Pack test subject, recently injured in a harness stress test experiment, has been released from the hospital.

Kevin, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, suffered minor, non-life-threatening injuries when the jet pack harness that he was testing failed. Kevin suffered rope burns and assorted lesser injuries: two broken fibulas, a broken pelvis, and a punctured left lung. Following the test failure, Kevin was transported to Cedar Rapids Baptist Memorial Hospital for "routine observation."

After spending three weeks in intensive care, Kevin has been relocated to his home for the remainder of his recovery.

Kevin expects to be back on the testing field shortly, and released the following statement regarding his partipation in Project Jet Pack:

"I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to test jet packs - they are the future. My injuries were minimal, especially in comparison to the pain endured by the obese: suffering and stranded without medical care. I will be out there testing jet packs as soon as the doctors clear me."

Dr. Jacob Robert Shrum, founder and spiritual leader of Project Jet Pack, offered his thanks to Kevin for his continued participation in the test phase of the team's work:

"Kevin has been a real inspiration for me. It is on behalf of people like Kevin, and my beloved sister, Jennifer, that this project was formed in the first place. With the good Lord's help, he will be back with us soon."
