So, anything out there you'd like to strap a jet engine to?
Click on the image above to watch the video
Those of you who'd like to power your daily driver with a jet engine but are a little too concerned about the complexity of a turbine should take a look at the good old pulse jet. With a slightly crazy but active community still working on the German World War II engine design, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything on wheels that hasn't seen a buzzing pulse jet strapped onto it somehow. Something with two wheels? Sure. How about something with four wheels and a couple thousand horsepower? Heck yeah! As you can see in the video pasted after the break, the venerable pulse jet has seen plenty of duty on race and show cars, and there's not much in this world thats cooler than a jet-powered automobile. Just don't start it in front of your neighbor's house and you'll be fine.

Nope, not turbines. These are pulsejet engines. Thats the reason it sounds like a hornet from hell. Cheap, almost no moving parts, and very reliable once tuned properly. These were the engines used on the V1 "buzz bomb" in WWII.

she will be starved to death before burning into ashes.

@sean
actually I'm pretty sure she'd burn up in the atmosphere :) sooooooo nope, she'd burn before she'd starve...and TECHNICALLY...she'd run out of oxygen before she got to that point...lol

Yes, I second the motion.

The thing with these jets is they can burn crap fuel.
You'll save some cash on her one way ticket!
