Jet Go Kart - Built by John Wallis (Australia)

John is truly an inspiration when it comes to home made jet engines. Not happy with simply using a turbocharger to make a thrust engine, he has successfully built and run a high power output shaft turbine to drive a motorcycle and a racing kart. His latest project involves combining pulse-jet technology with a power turbine to create a hybrid pulse jet driven turbo-prop. This video is his jet powered go Kart.

I have to know, is it equipped with AIR brakes. If not, i think it's gonna need e'm. LOL

[caioghiotto]

the "no hand" at 0:25 is priceless

a pulse-jet driver turboprop is possible but very impractical. you can't realy harness any usable shaft hp unless you have a way overpowered pj.

[atomiclumberjack]

Crap yeah! hahaha

[Runetatti]

well, you have room to test it.. nice video!
