The pulsejet powered kayak (part 2)

Here's footage from the show where we ran the pulsejet-powered kayak down a runway and then raced it against an Olympic rower.

Remember -- this *is* television, not real life (if you get my drift).

Still, it was great fun and I quite enjoy doing pulsejet stuff like this for TV programs.

I AM MAKIN ONE ON A HOVERCRAFT! BEAT THAT!

[xjet]

@InventorLJ I already did. Check this channel for the pulsejet-powered hovercraft.

Seems the power of this engine is not much better than olympic kayaker's rowing strength.  :(

[xjet]

@Austyg jet engines are not best-suited to slow vehicles like a Kayak. The difference between the olympic rower and the jet engine is that the olympic rower will produce no thrust at all at 100mph but the jet engine will still be pulling strong ;-)

Sorry, I did not mean any disrespect, xjet, I actually think you are an interesting person. I am interested in this type of science, but it seems as though any experimentation that includes flammable liquids or gases has historically quite literally blown up in my face. Again, no disrespect meant.

[xjet]

@TheDogsnout2 No worries -- hope you have better luck with your experiments in the future.

[xjet]

@TheDogsnout2 Might I suggest that to engage in such an action may result in significant burns to a rather sensitive part of your anatomy. I recommend you reconsider your stated course of action before hurting yourself.

@xjet also, I am only twelve and have just what I can find at Lowe's to build these things...

[InventorLJ]

@xjet have you made EVERYTHING? How about a rocket powered wagon? Also, can I drive your next thingy- majig?

@taipan185 why dont you stick it up your arse before you do that

[Undeworld667]

ITS GOT A JIT ENGINE

Ron Jeremy waving the flag at the finish???????

[straker1999]

wonder what ' health & safety ' make of that ... :o)

[NorcanDiaboli]

@pyromanizak What is your problem? o.0

[SaToMojo]

Obviously my dear professor Bruce this is design of pulsoreactor. It is always a pleasure to follow U here or on RcModelReviews. Keep the Spirit Alive. Thank You
