Afterburner high velocity test 2

Again, testing the jet bike afterburner. Still needs more fuel, so we will dump jet-a in for the next tests instead of propane.

you know every neighbor is staring

[BadBros]

Yup, every neighbor was staring today for sure! What better way to celebrate memorial day though, than to fire up the jet bike which is a tribute to our military personel everywhere! I think it was the afterburner that got everyones attention, ha-ha! Just a few more tests this coming weekend, then I can take it out to the country for a test drive. I'm looking forward to it.

Your bike is sweet! But did you know there's already a steet legal one you can buy? The Y2k jet bike? But i'm impressed with what you built.

[BadBros]

Oh yeah, I know the guys over at Marine Turbine that build them. This is an experiment to see if it can be built on a much smaller budget though. Also, I wanted to fit the engine into a tiny frame, as well as make it thrust powered instead of powering the rear wheel. The Y2K bike is impressive if you can afford the $200,000 price tag, but since I can't afford that this is the way to go for me.

Do your neighbors get man from the noise?

[BadBros]

NAh, the neighbors don't really mind the noise since we live right next to a major airport anyway. I am moving the shop to a new location now, and I will have to see how the new neighbors feel about the noise.

Great hobby. I ride too. In another vid u replied. h2o vapour crack at 5000' My question ? Does pressure make a difference??It must. Perhaps, in an ICE, or your toy. What kind of pressures are obtainable in this engine? Ever tried hooking up an h2o electolyser to it ? Fun hobby too. Take care. get ear muffs b4 u r deaf.
