1:27 Let the redneck fun commence.

DUDE!!! You are so lucky that you didnt get torn apart by shrapnell from that prop,did you make the prop yourself?Nice job by the way,just use a storebought prop next time!!!LOL

[yamadoo94]

I gota say it may not have a lot of speed but it has a lot of potential to go good. Things always work out the second time around. A lil prop work and your good. Cool build by the way!

[bessybessy]

Don't kill You :)

[19or50]

we`ed hafta smoke one after that

[theonethatgoofs]

it is great to see that there are other inventers . i just put a echo 22 cc motor and propeller on the front end of a 20 in bike . its alot of fun . but i used balanced prop from rc plane.

[clarkzx9r1]

I'm so proud to see young people doing fun stuff .

[rhenke]

That was just awesome! Was that a homeade prop? I think it needed more surface area to use the horsepower. He sounded like he had max rpms and a fatter prop would keep the rpm's a tad lower and use the horsepower more. A sheetmetal leading edge would make it stronger too. Awesome video.

[snafu78g]

oh that sucks I had that happen to me one night on lake okeechobee but the my prop was a lilttle bigger 

[purity4all]

fiber glass is lighter and tougher than that wood Nice first attempt, good improvisation though.

[purity4all]

I know where U can get a fiber glass hull made to order.

[aus2045]

I love rednecks

[LaneThompson3]

they just like totally blew the prop

[Charlzey1475]

It sits to low in the water

[inoyourdad]

u got over 31 hundred rps my friend

[scolen3]

Lol

[Axbent]

not testing a mechanical device under contrallable conditions b4 using it live is totally hillbilly, way to go!!!

[savageguy25]

water can make wood props explode too

[jasonsiig]

??????????????????????????????­????????

[wilphil64]

he over reved the prop its amazing it spun that long

[leviterande]

he should be carefull next time, if he speeds a little more, he will hit the speed of light, and it aint good.. hehe just joking.. very nice built

[twaticus420]

I'm amazed at the amount of commentors that dont know how to count. That is a 2 stroke Triple cylinder snow machine video. Its either an polaris XLT 600, Ultra 800, yamaha mountain max trip, or an arctic cat powder special/extreme 600-700. The prop pitch wasnt set for the RPM's that you have to run a 2 stroke to make useable power. (thats why the prop went into toothpick mode)

[pmdnslj]

@twaticus420 No offense but your comment is wrong, I'm an aircraft mechanic and believe it or not, aircraft with high reving engines have to have gear reduction on the prop in order to keep the tips of the prop below the sound barrier. the boom fighter jets make is the same shockwave that broke this prop.

[82thegonz]

@pmdnslj ur right

[niby05]

thats sweet and a bummer at the same time. like i always say "Bad ideas always make great stories later". thats if your still alive to tell them that is.

[jeryl1968]

glad no one was hurt i have a classic airboat with a 350 chevy in it my last airboat was a 14 foot fiberglass and it had a 4 cylinder lycoming in it and my prop was old and went the same way that was funny tho atleast they made a good effort lol

[LAgator]

Did you guys even THINK about calculating "prop tip speed" before you cranked out these serious rpms? WOW, glad nobody got hurt!

[csolsten]

That is Fricken Awesome! Nice work guys, If your still alive to read this

[lownlazy]

The funniest thing ive seen in ages. well done even tho you did nearly kill everyone.

[fuhmeregan]

dog stole the show.

[522185321]

triple pip[es?5s that a sled engine?

[palmdesertpimp]

these guys sound like a bunch of school girls

[DNRLBL]

This Video should get an award!!!!

[tempoere]

crazy ! =D

[Bayles20]

OMG THAT WAS AWESOME!

[jackmonkey26]

sorry cheif my comment was directed at the deen911

[jackmonkey26]

Yeah sure. When was the last time you saw someone PULL START a V8? Get it right before you start talking sh*^ or you make you and your homeland look stupid.

[lemons45632]

OMG THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!

[deen911]

probably a v8...:P Weird Americans...Europeans can get the same amount of power out of a v4 as americans get out of a v8

[deen911]

what kinda engine it uses?

[VdzAk]

what a tool

[kapazas2002]

L = lift, in pounds

k = coefficient of air pressure (Smeaton coefficient)

S = total area of lifting surface

V² = velocity (headwind plus airspeed) squared

CL = coefficient of lift (varies with wing shape)

Smart toys & biofuel conversion kits

[4815162342bob]

is that legit? do u think i could make an airboat w/ lawn mower motor?

[vincewelder]

thank god he is fine!!! look dangerous

[Klattu]

Great try!

Don't weaist another day of your life without thinking up something.

Make lots of mistakes, but keep creating.

Read everything.

Try to put a little into safety without cramping your progress.

You want to be around for many more inventions.

[emmber19]

get a rev limiter m8

[dryice0002006]

i can tell from the sound of the engine and the exhaust that there useing a 2 stroke engine and its a two cylinder and it has a pull start so chances are its a snowmobile engine. and the prop looks like it was cut smaller and if so it would be unbalanced and explode

[agencyfilms]

WOW... that was FUN... UNTIL the PROP expolded...!

WHAT kind of MOTOR are you USING...?

[frenchy44662]

I meant check your youtube mail. Hope to hear back from you!

[frenchy44662]
