JAPNUT Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Hello all, I have been thinking of making either a jet powered cart or a motorbike, a motorbike would be easy to build, just use the thrust to power it, and a go cart would also be easy as well, just use the thrust again. Or you could go to the trouble of building an external shaft powered blower that runs off your exhaust gasses. It's simple to build a jet engine, by using an old turbo charger off a car or truck, you just hook oil up and make a combustion chamber. I've got most of the parts to build one, oil pump, "old power steering unit",,, fan for the oil radiators, 2 oil radiators for better cooling, and oil filter. You can run the engines on anything really, diesel, petrol, LPG, you name it any fuel. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAPNUT Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Haha they will love it, hope they don't come knocking lol. First up should be a test engine, as if I put it in a bike or a cart and it does not run, it will be a wast of time. Hope to get it under way soon and see how well it runs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hemi also used to make random pulse jets out of a jar and lid with a hole in the top and some meths. Just sitting around drinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hemi sounds like a mechanical genius. Could u feel any thrust off it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Ahh I remember that night. Fuck the reeked of meths after that. The jet engine made a bit but not really enough to push anything. But in saying that I hear the LPG bottle maxed out and it was barely idling so maybe a bit more tweaking would get something moving. Really cool Project though and hearing it start up was just awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidtoy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 my mate has a small jet unit that he has just brought that we will be fitting to a number of different things, he has just sent it away to have some mods done to the starting system as it was a prick to start with air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
