Does John have a website, or is the construction of this bike documented on a forum? I have seen this video posted a number of times and I'd really like to know more about it!

@nickthesafe he is officially a badass

@tthhnnee jet exhaust spins a turbine that is geared to drive the rear wheels

@JetJockey87 your an idiot

AWESOME! Question: The bike moves from the thrust generated from gases like an aircraft or it's somehow trough chains / wheels ? (and it's with reduction).

While that engine is more suited to long trips in a small car, turboshaft engines are efficient. They can run on bio-diesel; hydrogen; ethanol; or just about anything.

Well since he knows how to make a jet engine, if I were him I'd have to attempt making a fuselage of a jet airplane and yeah....I'd love to make my own Jet Airplane!
is that a turbocharger jet engine?

Yes it is - quite a big one providing the gas to drive a power turbine.

OK read the title again... the clue is 'DIY' - he made the engine himself - not bought off the shelf!. If you can do better let's see it.

The entire engine? I apologize for my comment then. I was not aware he made the entire engine. That's actually pretty impressive.

John's working on a much bigger engine at the moment - I had the privelage of visiting him last month and it's gonna have the same power output as the Y2K bike engine!!.
