On the set of Junkyard Megawars (Part 2) - the Pulsejet boat

[puttz2]

That v8 is awesome!

[Skoda130]

So the Pulsejet won the race, I quess?

[xjet]

@Skoda130 Yep!

Things about spinny boat engines.

A: Torque Roll, if it's just one engine you're gonna be spinning.

B: Drift Turns, this is actually pretty cool because if you make the engine spin really fast (depends on size but like 6000 RPM on that) you can keep your speed when turning and do sharp turns also by pumping up the RPMs when turning in bursts.

[MTLKEBEK]

man I miss this show

[zsewq55912]

not very fast

[josephlwu1]

The boat should be more streamlined.

[tim0090]

i think the boats kinda failed in the fluid dynamics department!!!

[NBSV1]

As with most junkyard wars stuff they both kinda suck, but are interesting to watch. I'd like to give something like this a go and see what happens.  I think the V8 boat would have been faster had they been able to run it without sinking the front.

[MrRcpaintballer10]

lol yea sure it is the blue team needs more weight in the bac

[SlavjanA]

I was just wondering "XJet", what do you think of the Scram Jet?

[Scoused5000]

Bit like Scrapheap Challenge or Junkyard Wars!

[iankarunaratne]

had the boat been a bit more streamlined, it would have been faster.

[battlebob]

To bad thats all that show was. One sided, one ran and the other one most of the time didnt.

[JonnyTommyGuns]

they should have gave them more time

[malatone93]

sopart

[HippieHunta]

surprised it moved

[NeglectedField]

Hah nice one. Though for me there's an ideal speed to noise ratio that I prefer!

[Pitchplus8]

OMG its soo fucking fast :D

[quadcam24v]

amazed that the jet worked lolz....good effort for scrap part stuff!

[riczath]

did they have a handy cap on the fuel they could use

[rayunseitig]

Cool, weird stuff.

I don't exactly have a TV show right now. I was just thinking of something to piss off my neighbors a little more, LOL just kidding.

[salemcripple]

"worst built engine i'd ever seen"

Well what do you expect from a bunch of novices, given only 12 hrs to build an engine most have probably never even heard of, out of junk parts! Atleast they could control thier boat.

[seizetheweakened]

10 + 1 hours actually

[wezdog1]

dodgy pulsejet....tut tut

[DJTurboSolarium]

you lier u wern't helping the red team for anything

[xjet]

Like you were there on the set -- right?

[bikeloon]

All you were doing was hiding in the trees. I very much doubt you are an expert at anything except crap camera work!

[xjet]

Look at "Part 1" then. Just who was Dick Strawbridge (Blue team captain) talking behind the camera I wonder?

[MonkeyWithAWrench]

he cant be on set while filming. he is an expert, i know because ive been on his websites. he has helped me alot by having great info on his site about valvless pulsejets. if he didnt know what he was talking about, i wouldnt have built a running pulsejet. check out some more videos on xjet's channel. like his dragster.

[luketorpedo]

@bikeloon

You really have no idea who this guy is do you lol.

[nibbler125]

im thinking of making a pulse jet in my welding class

[jagagaj]

I wonder if the 'V-8' boad went straight who would have won, it wasn't going very fast. I think it would have been close. Next time build about ten of those engines. Now THAT would win with no problem.

[zmatt]

awesome
