Jet bicycle starting first time

In this video you can see the Jet bicycle I've been working on the past few months. This video is of the first time it ran good. All past attempts to run it failed because of several reasons, but now all the work is paying off.. First I heat the turbine up with LPG and later I start to inject diesel in the combustion chamber. When the turbine reaches self sustaining speed, the leafblower can be taken away and then the turbine is running. This Jet engine is based on a Cummins VT-50 turbocharger and has been modified to act as a jet engine.

Wow... nice work. Do you have plans or anything to show how to modify a turbo and build a little jet engine like that.

Really sounds awesome too... have you tried riding the bike yet? lol

I have indeed a plan to make a 'how to do it' video, but I'm not that good with computers and editing videos, so it might take a while to finish something like that. And I haven't tried riding it yet, because I still had some minor problems with the run shown on this video as well (minor fuel leak, no rpm gauge and to little oil cooling capacity). Before I'm going to ride it, I need to make sure that everything is ok.
