Widescreen and High Quality reload of Backyard Jets Episode 2, a video which focuses on homebuilt and garage gas turbine / jet engines.

Karls Rolls Royce Derwent is now mounted to a truck, a custom built starting panel now makes the engine easy to manage, again we see how impressive the Derwent is at idle and then full power.

We then move onto one of todays younger jet builders, built from infomation gathered on the internet, this engine displays all the hallmarks of good backyard jet design.

There is a hidden feature video within this video, something you may find interesting if you like big fireworks.

  • why the car aint moving? insuficient thrust for the hand-brakes?

  • how isnt the truck getting taken away?

  • drive your truck with it!

  • jet car !

  • When its at the highest level on this vid, it reminds me of the sound u hear on airplanes just before it turns into bouldering and ur head gets pushed back in the seat :D

  • i bet his neighbours are now deaf

    

  • @snelpiller He could have 50 of those engines at full throttle on the truck and it will not move, UNTIL the brakes are released and then there is not stopping it! Ever seen the video of the 'strongman' holding back a whole jet with his teeth are something, if he gave the jet an inch he would be gone. Even when you are floying, the jet will full power the engines and those tiny tires hold it all back, until the brakes were released. if Carl released the brakes on the tryuck, no stopping it!

  • not massive thrust is it? I mean its not pushing the car at all

  • How old is this? Can't imagine anyone doing this today without being all but thrown in jail.

  • Good Video
