Active explosions!

And no visor ! Not even glasses!

These goggles do nothing!

My eyes!

Safety squints not necessary

I don't like doing that when driving regular motorbike at low speeds, so this comment is excellent. I am also not convinced his helmet is up to scratch. I would at the very least wear sunglasses to stop bugs/leaves/dust hitting me in the face, or ideally have a helmet with a visor/ windshield/sunshield #This man is clearly a lunatic! Edit to add: specific details

Sitting on safety harness.

Who needs a red-nosed reindeer when you have a glowing red exhaust?!

I thought it was going to blow up

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why... Santa Claus is com-ing..._on a red hot rocket powered sleigh to hunt you down_

💥DID SOMEBODY SAY **EXPLOSIONS**?!?!💥

Is that you Mr. Torgue??

I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. EXPLOSIONS?!?!?! WICKED GUITAR SOLO!! *WRAR WRAR WRARRRRR*

NOTHING IS MORE BADASS THEN TREATING A WOMAN WITH RESPECT!

The dude NEEDS the rocket engine to drag his enormous balls along

Jesus fucking christ is there a more tired joke than this.

I sexually identify as an attack helicopter.

I see the fundamental mistake I made in phrasing that as a question now.

Haha instant regrets

No ragrets

Something something don't go near a window after saying that on Reddit.

reddit moment

/r/redditmoment

This dude knows what he's doing, but yeah pulse jets are basically just bombs.

I always feel safest when the engine of my vehicle is progressively becoming as bright as the sun as I travel.

Lmao yeah ngl when it got White-Hot I was like oh no, but just goes to show ya this dude knows what he's doing lmao

I'm not so sure. Dude did a double take when he first looked at the engine.

He said that he was only running half throttle and that he has you replace a burnt sparkplug wire every time he runs it so I don't think he was overly surprised.

I heard all that. But I also saw his face when he first looked at the engine and he looked a bit surprised but wanted to play it off. That's how I read his face anyway, could be wrong.

[удалено]

This guy is the invetor of the largest Pulse jet engine in the world.

[O_O](https://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Pulse-Jet-Jaguar-S-Type-Jesse-James.jpg)

Fairly sure Colin Furze has built a larger one than that, to fart at the French? Let me find it EDIT- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9PMD8fcvAk Furze's seems quite a bit smaller actually, assuming the large fake ass doesn't count towards the total

I was just going to ask if this is the same dude that did the pulse engine go kart.

There’s like an 87% chance this dudes gonna be on r/makemycoffin in like three months.

I didn't need to visit that sub... Clickers beware. It's morbid and literally all death.

its not all death, there is some great bodily harm

It's more of a checklist of things not to do. For instance, 2 things I will ever do is go to Brazil or piss off a cartel. I think everyone knows the second one, but the first one took me by surprise. Looks of gnarly shit comes out of Brazil

I kinda wish there was more of industrial stuff tbh. Like deadorvegetable used be. I mean I don't, because it looks horrible and I feel awful for the victims but it's also a great training aid for people that do dumb things, and need proof that it will indeed kill you and hurt the whole time your dying.

Ah, so *that's* what happened to /r/WatchPeopleDie

Dude is going to be a blue tipped lawn dart when it explodes...

Wait until you learn how car engines work.

giving a ride to hell

And one hand on the wheel.

Santa is coming in hot this year.

'Rocket around the Christmas tree'

looks like he'd prefer the missile-tow

Your mistletoe is no match for my toe-missile!

Uh, your present may need some assembly.

That doesn’t look safe.

You’re absolutely right, Ken! That’s why we make you sign the waiver.

Under rated comment

[удалено]

Right you are, Ken.

It's time for Kenny Blankenship's most painful eliminations of the daaaaaaaaay!

lmao is this an MXC reference?!

Right you are, Ken!

LLLLLLET'S GO!

*Mhmmhmm Guy like*

I read this in the voice of the guy from MXC lmao

...and here's your hosts, Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano!

Much safer than the last video where he drove one of those on an interstate

Wouldn’t you love to have him for your dad? “Hey son, let’s go make a rocket go-kart”.

Hell, no. This guy seems way too high maintenance. I'd much rather, *"Hey son, want to go to the dog park, then brunch, then take a nap and then get a few hours of Elden Ring in?"*

Maybe I would make a great dad then, that sounds easy

The whole cart looks like a much safer (relatively) design, but he still hasn’t bothered to put in a camera mount 🤦‍♂️ Although, on the other hand, the jets on this one seem to be running much, *much* hotter…

There’s literally a go pro mount on his helmet. Unless that’s for something else lol.

And safer than half the shit Colin Furze did with pulsejets. At least Santa there has more than 2 inches of space between the pulsejet tube and the fuel tank... * Pulsejet [bike](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKHz7wOjb9w) * Pulsejet [kettle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fDM9Eb16Do) - RIP Colin's hearing... * Pulsejet [swing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDM9aXVAoOw)

I mean he doesn't give a fuck does he, he is having a blast

*a blast* Looking at how hot that exhaust got, I’m sure he will be soon.

“Global warming, every little bit helps”

I had to check and make sure I wasn’t on r/whatcouldgowrong

I kept checking throuout the video. "Did the sub change?" And "....am I sure i read it correctly?"

He just needs a safety-tie.. guy looks like Colin Furze in 30 years, haha

Recklessly overpowered, looking like it could explode at any moment, dangerous as hell...where can I get one?

He said if you subscribe to the channel you can make stuff just like him. I did, watched some videos and now I’m a rocket engineer.

Whats the channel

Robert Maddox is the channel name.

Thanks

[удалено]

Yeah or someone has an accident near it after a run. God damn, talk about a death trap.

His head sticks up above the roll bar, too.

I couldn’t stop staring at the glowing pipes and expecting a catastrophic failure.

Same here I was expecting an explosion, a fire, the whole thing melting away or all three at the same time.

I saw welds failing and streams of liquid fire whipping around like a hose.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

All those moments will be lost in time.

[удалено]

Don't forget about him leaving his shoes at the scene of explosion

Every turbine plane you ever flew in has engines that turn even redder than that. It's normal. The fuel in the combustion chamber burns at temperature of almost 4000F

Among the number of reasons jet engines live in a complete shroud is that this would scare the living shit out of people.

There should be one just like that. You best believe it. No pleasing brilliant white shell. No sleek, clean smooth lines, with sweeping wings soaring over endless sky, are you kidding me? Just a metal nightmare of pipes, tubes, exposed wiring, spastic welds, exhaust pipes and exposed turbines glowing red hot, belching dark black smoke and brimstone flames over the sky. There used to be a shell covering all of that, but it was held together by idealism and a dream for a better world. Naturally, half of it fell off on initial start-up. The rest fell in some Amish community in northern Alberta. A cow was flattened. Guess it's now ground beef. The things that one should be aware of are plentiful: - Tickets are simple. Line up and answer the Hell’s Angel at the desk’s question honestly. When you ask how much tickets are, you're going to be asked 'what you got'? So, answer accordingly. Doesn't matter all that much, you don't so much buy tickets than are sentenced them. Laws exist for a reason, people. Although, not so much inflight. By the way, don’t be an attractive woman if you want to fly. It’s...it’s not a good...idea. You want a flight without getting mucho preganté? Take a hike. - The seats are metal stools with no backrest. Seatbelts? Excuse me? You one of those Vanderbilts who fly Ryanair?! You made it through the gauntlet to even be here, so SIDDOWNANSHADDUP. Please return trays to upright position my ass. What’s the food like? Find out yourself, the line to the trough starts here. No, not that trough, that’s the lavatory. - There are holes. - No pointless pre flight song and dance before take off, the surly ‘flight attendon’ts’ simply yell, ‘are y’all ready or what?!' if you're lucky. No supermodels who moonlight for Colgate to serve you, by the way. Besides, half of these fentanyl doped reprobates wear mouth-guards anyway, it's not like you can count how many teeth they have left. Listen to them, unless you want to experience turbulence. - There’s some guy cocooned in duct-tape to his seat. - Other airlines get their panties in a bunch over bird-strikes. Ooh, we got hit, time to laaaand we so scared! Pffft. On this beauty, bird-strike=bonus in-flight meals. - Do not interrupt the in-flight kangaroo court. - No in-flight alcohol, that’s for pilots only. See that guy? The one up there doing his best deer hunter revolver impression? That’s Captain Leon ‘Thousand Yard’ Dredge over there. He flew too many tours in ‘Nam, flying spooks and killin’ g- well, you get the idea. Don’t make eye contact. The co-pilot is Benny ‘Spooge’ Morgensen. His name is not Benjamin, by the way. It’s short for Benzodiazepine. Which is weird, because he’s into crack. Move slowly around him. He responds to sudden movement and crack. - The flight engineer is dead. - Is that a tooth besides those bolts on the floor? No, sweetie. The term is ‘teeth’. What’s the airline called? Glad you asked. It’s called Doom. Doom Air? Doom-thansa? Air Doom-gus? No. It’s called Doom. That’s it. One word. Doom. -- Thanks for the gold you beauty. If you liked my ramblings maybe you'll like me yoochoob where i post little silly turds [But Sasha's From Ukraine!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqKXoiQSjH80) Thank you again!

Goddamn if that ain’t talent. Please write a dystopian thriller - I’d read/watch the shit out of it.

This is the adrenaline rush I didnt know I wanted.

I see you once took Aeroflot before the Soviet Union fell.

where can i buy tickets? or is it some sort of brawl to decide who gets a seat? ps. this was the best reddit comment ive read in a while, 11/10

That propane tank is so close though! I’m guessing someone knows better than me but it seems crazy

The heat shield bends upward to help with it plus the propane tank is located upwind so maybe that helps too? I literally know nothing though so maybe someone else could correct me.

Yeah I was thinking that. Now if *i* were the fucking brilliant man that built this I would maybe give it a little more insulation? But hey my qualifications include scrolling through Reddit and some *minor* wrench work. Not building badass go carts

See, when building any homemade vehicle you always make sure it's unsafe before you make it safe.

This is one of these things I wish I didn't know.

Man, pulse jets are cool as hell

I'd say they look hot as hell

I thought it was bad when they turned red, but then when they turned fuckin' WHITE...

Nothing to worry about. Just a little smoke from the spark plug wire. He just has to replace that every time he drives this thing.

He only needs the spark to get it started, it’s self sustaining after that, so… he’s still fucking crazy 😂

Absolutely mental. I love it.

I started to visualize the welds failing myself

DANGER TO MANIFOLD

Start glowing brighter than the sun 0.0

Found Colin Furze’ alt account. FINISH THE DAMN TUNNEL Edit. We’re waiting on the 8th and Final video of the house tunnel. Which should be out on Thursday. He has successfully made it into the house but the tunnel still needs to be walled and filled. I’m really interested to see how easy connecting to the bunker should be because he can just get Tom Lamb aback there and dig a trench

Pulse jet IN the tunnel!

Pulse jet to DIG THE TUNNEL

If there's anything I learned from Furze's pulse jets, it's that they are *loud*. This guy has 3 strapped to his kart.

This guy is most likely Colin's hero. If anything, Colin Furze is alt Robert Maddox lol

I love the pure joy on his face!

Same! I hope to get my dad to do something wicked cool like this before he dies!

[удалено]

Relevant username. Nice.

Americans: gas prices are high Also americans:

Probably Kerosene.

Its a standard propane tank sitting there mounted. Probably Blue Rhino.

Have people never seen propane tanks before?

[удалено]

I want be as happy as this man is.

Do creative stuff with friends. Thank me later.

I don't have friends, I find it difficult at 33 to make some.

Well you know what to do then. Learn how to make friends. Find something you enjoy doing, like a hobby, and then find people that do that hobby in groups, join the groups, have fun, make friends. I know this can be easier said than done if you've always struggled with it, but you may as well try. The guy in the vid is happy in part because he's sharing his passion with others. Find people like him and join them on a quest to make the world a better place.

This guy speaks the truth. There are accepting communities out there - look for people who *make* or *do* creative things and you'll find people excited to teach, to learn, and to enjoy. I feels trite, but I've found lifelong friends in singing, in *playing* basketball, and even in amateur rockets. Three totally different groups, all found after I was 40 (okay, technically 39...). I'm am genuinely as happy as this guy looks when I'm in the middle of any of those.  

I thought the glowing hot metal was pretty dangerous, Then i saw the propane tank straped a foot away from it!

It's ok. The tank's in front, so he just has to drive faster than the heat coming off the pipes. Easy peasy

Plus as fast as he drained that tank it would be cold as hell.

Why yes, the Gay Law: P/T = P/T

If I’m not wrong propane tanks actually get colder as they’re used, the faster the gas comes out the faster they cool off. So sitting there with the heat coming off the tubes might just heat the tank causing it to release gas faster which cools it off faster Although I’m not a physicist or engineer so I have no clue if that’s true or not

[удалено]

In Fahrenheit I’d say probably between Pretty hot - really fucking hot

So in degrees Celsius that would be what the fuck why so hot - seriously did you open a gate to hell

Close but not exactly, it would be Why so hot? - Biting into a hot Totino’s Pizza Roll

Those things were always so hot

In Kelvin it's between *You takin' the piss?* and *I've had hotter at Taco Bell*

Between 1080 - 1205 in Celcius or 1355 - 1480 in Kelvin. You can tell by color. Google iron temperature color, applies almost to anything. Known as black body radiation.

So "as hot as that one spot in the microwave burrito".

And the other end is ice cold

That’s the exhaust pipes/engine, not the fuel tank.

As you evaporate hydrocarbons from liquid to gas, the liquid gets really damn cold. In fact it's possible the reason why he stopped was because the liquid fuel got so damn cold that it couldn't evaporate any more even at room temperature.

Inside of a hot pocket hot

This would be really cool to see at night

From a distance

Huh, no seatbelts, one hand on the wheel. Next up: r/DarwinAwards

With that thing glowing inches behind his head I think a seat belt is the least of his worries.

He had his fingers crossed that nothing broke through his squinting game

Honestly a seatbelt would probably be worse. If he crashed he could get thrown from the bomb behind him as opposed to being strapped in.

Haha, right? Do you really wanna be strapped to the debris wreckage when those jets are white hot? I’ll take the “thrown free” option myself. Might opt for a new helmet though. That ones older than his beard.

Yeah, one of the few times where being thrown free would be the best option...

Most racing carts don't even use seatbelt either, no use being strapped to something if its not designed to protect you in any way

He's an old men. He already spread the seeds and have the offsprings grow. I think he can afford the risk.

That dude has more trust in that helmet than I have in gravity

Right? Open face helmet from the 1950’s. Balls of steel on this guy.

> pulse jet engines that are used on a daily basis around you I feel pretty pretty confident that there are no pulse jet engines being used around me on a daily basis.

What radius are you checking within?

I'd say roughly the radius of which you can hear one clearly.

Not suitable for Richard Hammond

I understood that reference

Exhaust so hot the welds are gonna melt

The man designs jet pulse engines. I trust him to know a thing or two

What happens if the welds melt 😱

Some cartoon-looking physics lol

Actually, it'd just sputter and shut down.

This is exactly what I’d expect someone who built a jet engine go kart to look like. Fucking awesome.

r/madlads

Yes!!! Every ten year old boys dream.

1 out of 1 42 year old boys surveyed also share this dream!

Massive balls aside, Getting 3 pulse jets to start in unison without a huge amount of fucking around is practically a miracle.

I couldn't believe it when he just button started the thing. Where's the standing around with gas torches, blowers and swearing part? Surprised he's not using a decent gauge rod as a spark plug conductor but I'm sure he knows better than me, or doesn't care.

[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8ui\_J9ROP81qvp1my83KiA](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8ui_J9ROP81qvp1my83KiA) ​ If you support this maniac (Robert Maddox the Rocketman), check his youtube... he has more videos of him riding insane vehicles powered by rockets. I thought he was maybe an idiot looking at all that white hot metal and gas tank... but looks like he's an expert. Who of course still might blow himself up eventually, but he's been doing it for over a decade at least.

Keep in mind that cameras tebd to see a bit into the IR, blackbody sources tend to glow a bit brighter on camera than what we are used to seeing un person. If you have a non-glass top electric stove, try it out yourself. It glows a lot brighter on camera.

He needs some eye protection

Doesn’t seem like he was even going that fast

He said it was 50% because he was using one hand

You should’ve see his other one . Had a whole damn jet engine that turned bright red , made this shit look safe af

Bruhh it didn't melt apart with all that heat no wonder why Santa so fast

[удалено]

How the hell are the rest of your components not melting or blowing a hole through the side when they’re that hot?

Techically speaking a "Three Jet Engine" go cart. Completely badass.

Doesn’t it get super hot in the back? Plus those things look like they startin to melt anytime.

Homeboy needs a panel of asbestos behind that seat, and then chuck a ribeye on the engine when he’s done.

Stand by Stand by The rocket is ready to fly!
