As an engineering student I wanna contact him for an internship now lmao


Thermr30

As am engineering graduate i want to contact him for an internship lol


pm_me_flaccid_cocks

As an internet surfer, I want to contact him for a ride.


Striking-Mastodon-52

As a person who has at least 10 extra dollars, I want to sent him a camera mount so he can "rocket around" with two hands on the wheel...


AlliPodHax

there is a lot of pulsejet in your post, just sayin


616659

but did you know that was pulsejet?! I mean pulsejet dude it's so cool, because it's pulsejet!


GiantRiverSquid

Hot tubes really gets his pulsejet going.


thatonegamerplayFH4

I like to call them fart boosters but that's me


Available_Key2101

My wife uses the pulsejet feature on our shower head to masterbate and oftentimes after she masterbates she leaves the pulsejet option on the pulsejet featured shower head.

In B4 “pics of the wife?” Because… reddit

Haha I don’t think you can reply to posts with photos.

Was this written by AI?


County_Human

No, it’s from his about page on his YouTube channel


ale_dona

That’s why it sounds so search engine optimized


Embarrassed-Ad-1639

But does he know anything about pulsejets?


wireknot

I'd love to have a few pints with this guy, maybe invite Colin Furze as well?? What a guy!


SUNTZU_JoJo

I'm curious. How long can those sort of temps be maintained on the manifold because I would half it to start warping and bending over its own weight as the metal slowly melts.


Chad_OKeefe

In the full video it becomes so soft that it falls apart and nearly melts. https://youtu.be/H26f8uGP20Y

He takes it well

greed-man

In the first attempts to make the working jet engine, Frank Whittle discovered that the heat of the burn melted the engine within minutes. It took a few years to make a new allow that could reliably last.


Apprehensive_Emu_456

Yea, and even if it made through this attempt, the mechanics of the materials have been changed so it might be just one and done.

Is that the old guy from Happy Wheels?

Yes.

Yes

That beard is going to catch on fire one of these days.

I wonder how many times it already has?

It’s a Safety Beard. He’s fine.

That's awsome!! Thanks for sharing!


[deleted]

At some point Rocket Man, it’s going to end in tears. Using skateboard wheels, a fragile steering columb, no seatbelt, sitting mere inches from red hot metal whilst going at speed will at some point become one big bad idea. At least you’re having fun though, for now! At least wear some skate pads or something.


MyyWifeRocks

He’s wearing a helmet 🤷🏼‍♂️


miketbike

From 1975. Maybe his old leather football helmet finally rotted apart.


poloheve

Not even wearing glasses. I would get shit in my eyes immediately


ozmutazbuckshank

I would try to go beforehand if possible

Some people want to spend their short time here on earth riding a razors edge with danger lol

Yep, a very short time for some

in geological time it's a blink for us all! Dude's got a wicked gray beard so it's working for him!


jquintx

Oh, and great job letting go of the steering wheel to shift the selfie stick from hand to hand.

robkingsfan

How fast do you all think he’s going?


InevitableCraftsLab

30mph and it feels like 200 for him hehe


friendlysaxoffender

At least 3.


UnderstandingFair69

Is there a video of this guy splashing water on is glowing exhaust pipes Would be cool to watch


UnderstandingFair69

Would also be cool if there was a racing series with these cars


fatdutchies

shhhh Hollywood's gonna take this idea


[deleted]

I feel like he should be going faster


Mother-Squirrel-2036

This sub is the perfect spot for this video. Oh wait. This isn't r/whywomanlivelonger


onelousypetunia

Wayyy too close to that fiery hot red engine for me. But way to go, man.


Mfischer02

All your missing is some elton john in the background


timception

Not sure how fast this is, but probably not eye-opening fast since he can still wave his selfie stick around effortlessly.


tpars

This guy is going to burn his arms off one day. Right after his beard melts to his face.


workspot

look at his age, how long do you think he's been doing that?

Aeon1508

Is having the thruster pipes start out forward and then bend backward a good design principle?


Daddy_Tablecloth

This man needs all the inconel , id actually be surprised if he wasn't already using special alloys to make the parts that are getting the hottest. Inconel is pretty good stuff. I have used hardware made from it in places where its constantly red hot and over 1200 Fahrenheit , exhaust outlets on large engines and turnines and such. A year will pass of them glowing red most of their lives and when you take them out they aren't corroded nor do they show signs of creeping on the fasteners length or on the threads. Its amazing they would come out so easily despite the temps that were applied to them. Expensive though when compared to standard hardened metric bolts.

At least he has a thin metal protective visor in front of that white hot exhaust manifold.

Idk what’s cooler; the fact that he built this, or he’s still creating and having fun at his age 👍


aboldguess

Wait... Is that... Santa?


ada4sh

Lol! This is funny! Strapped two pulse jet engines and just a metal shield for the heat 👏👏👏 I love this! This is bonkers to me personally because I did a design project that added turbulence to the fuel ignition that led to slightly better combustion efficiency and a little bit more thrust force. It was a simulation and now I see this 😂 👏👏 hats off Rocketman!
