I told Brian about this a while ago. I finally got
around to uploading a video of it.

You sick bastard, how do I make one? I'm thoroughly impressed.
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.

We made one of those too. Unfortunately it didn't make squat for thrust.
It was cool to watch though. We used a small turbo from a Toyota with a
power steering pump from a Volvo being driven by an electric motor to
lubricate the turbo. We used a leaf blower to get it started. Whe it was running,
it'd make a pretty blue flame about 2 feet long with a deafening whistling sound.
We were going to attempt building a valve jet like the Germans used in the V rockets. Bt we couldn't make valves that would stay together.

I've decided that I need to have kids before I attempt this jet bike, lest my balls be blown off when the combustion chamber lets go.

Dude, other than having designed the world's most unstable space heater, I really don't get what's being accomplished.. .?

It maybe cool to watch, but I would rather watch from about 100 FT away! That is some loud and powerful shit.
