I told my friend John that if he bought a jet engine, I would build a go-kart chassis that would hold the potential of the 350 pounds of thrust that this engine will make. He bought and so I guess I am building the chassis. It will be an engineering and CNC machining marvel!
I can't help but think about Wile E. Coyote.
MEEP MEEP!

It actually ends up that he bought the plans to build our own jet engine. We have a lot of connections and resources available to us. I am sure we could get this built without too much trouble.

Thanks Mikey...I think!
I was working in the lab late one night when my eyes beheld an eerie sight...








To bad you didn't build it 40 years ago, this contraption was claimed to run in the 6s, and I thought my Yamaha hauled.

A couple boats in our area with Lyncoming (sp) jets...............run on diesel I think to around 80% of peak. Nuts.

obr - great pic of the jet powered V-Max. Have you seen that sled run? Guess it's flies with that engine on board.

Pics of that jet Vmax4 can be found here.
Story is that that they tried to brake 300 kmh speed, but blew the engine...
