Crazy Rocketman: Riding the "Beast" jet engine go kart. 

It's too bad he wasn't wearing a Santa suit, now that really would be a sight to see.

What modern-day Wizards like to do:

looked like he was moments from the engine melting down.

He wouldn't be doing more than 50mph, makes a lot of noise & heat, but its very inefficient....he needs to get a 2 stroke or an Ebike!

well, how do you suppose santa cover the whole world so fast?

Yep! thanks man.

@@RobertMaddox У нас иногда говорят: "Мужчина, это чудом выживший мальчик". We sometimes say: "Man, this is a miraculously surviving child".

The secret to life. Lol

@@ke4uyp exactly he is by himself and if he blows up…oh well, he died having a blast, get it. No one but him gets hurt. and yeah, when we were kids we all tried to jump the snake River canyon like EK, right? 😉

​@@ke4uyp I saw nothing unsafe about this, it was performed in an empty area void of obstacles and cars. He wore safety gear, the seat even had a blast deflector at the rear. It was built relatively well etc. You know as a kid I made way more unsafe things (including one bicycle I threw together in about 2 hours that had an engine using a sawblade right behind me as part of a variable drive speed, and had no safety limits so if you moved the handle too much it would saw through your body), yet I still have all 10 fingers.... I'm also known to put out gasoline fires with more gasoline (it works pretty well, liquid gasoline doesn't catch fire only the fumes, so you can just smother a gasoline fire with more gasoline, I've done that many times. I also laughed my butt off with my wheels on fire (due to a gasoline leak dripping onto the exhaust system) on a very old lawn mower doing 40 mph off-road through a field. All the old farm machinery and heavy equipment is missing its safety covers, and often sticking your hands and arms near spinning saw blades and gears to pry and pull stuff that's stuck in the machine. Yet I still have all 10 fingers. Let me assure you, this guy clearly had a lot of thought into safety just looking at it for 1 second you'd see that, and he did it in an incredibly safe way (even if it caught fire, there was really nothing to even burn where he was at!). If you want to go do something dangerous, go take a shower. Why do I say this? More people die in the US drowning from a shower or bath (very specific I know), compared to deaths by rifles of all kind in the US (of which there are 15 million AR15rifles alone) and consider that most gun deaths are actually suicide, you'd agree that you should be terrified of taking a shower right? Well I try to play it safe and take as few showers as possible (you could ask my mom as a kid), but if we consider all the dumb stuff I've done (it would be a long novel if I typed it), then you'd see maybe we should all just worry a little less, because there are a lot more dangerous things people do like taking showers that you're probably not as worried about...

​@Biker ragebaiting at its finest

I'm going out on a limb to say, no seatbelt is probably safer on that thing. I would NOT want to be strapped to it in a crash! lol

Godspeed engi

No Tüv!

Aren't you happy with his helmet?

He don't have 100 bucks for a camera guy ?

Bro your right he deserves more attention then he's getting 😞

@@educationalengineering1346 bro this video only, has 5 million views in 3 months is = 💰

Reminds me of what I build in Kerbal Space Program.

@@lpwork6809 i mean, who the hell wouldn't love to see an old man riding this? Is insane!

They don't make real men anymore, so we have to admire the remaining the remaining ones while we can.

@@IamAW Yeah sure sure

All while filming!

@@IamAW clearly you aren't from where I am from. This isn't shit.

with a propane tank right next to glowing exhaust.... yea :D

Amazing we still have awesome people like this around!

You mean explose not explore

I'm wondering what his Mad Max name would be.

indeed lol

He wore a helmet he’s fine lol

normal is boaring

🤣

Was thinking the same! This thing pulls

I kept thinking if he flips it and gets under it he's litteraly "toast"

🤣 ❤ Great comment 👍

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just felt like our avatars had to meet.

@@tovsteh wow 😂

That ain't a bike helmet. It's a motorcycle helmet.

@@dustinandtarynwolfe5540 so what is the difference? Bike is a term for a motorcycle as well. You confuse me.

@@READY_OR_NOT Americans too lazy to call it a bicycle so they just use the term bike and then correct people based on that lmao

20k degree missile? That man was riding the sun!

Humans, animals just don't get us. Lol

Couldn't have put it better myself 👍

With a propane bottle in between!

And Roadrunner watching from the roadside. Let's call Wylie Wylie, not Von Braun.

Dudes not an old man. An old man wouldn't do this.

Fun fact the guy who discovered how much g force a human body can handle actually used himself as the testing dummy at the risk of death

Don't forget the steering with one hand while making faces at the camera on the end of a selfie stick that he's holding in his other hand part! 🤣🤣🤣

Happy wheels :

​@@bon6461 He's over 50

You know it's genuine! No acting going on! I'm still laughing!

🙏🤘

Legends are gone Heros are still present 💝

Sh1t eating grin the whole time.

Fr tho its weirdly serene despite the fact its a crazy guy on a jet car

It doesn't look that fast on the camera's perspective. But that thing is magma hot red.

I totally agree, those were my first thoughts, almost "dreamlike"...

Seems like a guy you'd have on your channel. Can't wait to see him race your electric Hummer.

Jet engine propelled hummer???

you gonna build one now? :D

Wow nice to see you around

I was like.......3 of 'em!!! {0.o} 😆😂🤣 If ya haven't been able to quieten down that noisy Gear-Lash whine on the Hummer try some that stinky sticky gear lube out of an old military Deuce and a Half differential or see if you can get some Shell "Crater". It's made for those big noisy gears.

these are good old pulse rockets

I am now happy. Thanks for the chuckle.

can build a rocket go cart, but can't build an holder attachment for his phone/cam😐

@@datadavis pulse rockets??? oh, have mercy on peons like me sir. What is this alien god technology you speak of?!

@@MR-nl8xr Ze German alien gods of cöurse!

This is what riding a rocket powered go kart is about.

It's not an exaust, It's the propulsion system. Those pipe thingys are the whole engine. It's called a pulse jet and there's 3 of them stacked vertically.

@@housebandthexenos2569 nobody asked

@@housebandthexenos2569 Well, OK then.. That means it is even cooler! 🤔Ah, hotter! Than what I first thought. Amazing.

@@jasonayres yeah look up pulse jets on youtube. All kinds of cool videos including lab tests of giant ones that sound like an alien invasion!

@@housebandthexenos2569 Sounds great! Well, I haven't actually heard it yet, but I am going to look that up. 😁👍

..DEADLY dangerous. SO many “wrongs” in this it hurts!

Yep, you know that cringe feeling you get when you see a dude get kicked in the nuts? I get that same feeling thinking about this thing rolling and landing on top of you...

Imagine getting in an accident with that?

Dangerous is the half lulled sleep most people live in.

Yup the propane by burning metal and the seat being so close to it too.

It's Rob.

@@lionobama1397 Bob is the most common hypocorism for Robert. More common that Rob, even. Even though Rob is the correct answer, Bob is more correct.

@@waxy1277 Damn.

Best comment I've ever read 😂👏👏👏👏👍🏻

Awesome dude!

No that level of suicidal stupidly is only legendary at the Darwin Awards. That was so bat shit crazy the Jackass guys wouldn't even try it.

I simply delight in the fact, that a fellow old fart is doing some intensly crazy shit, whilst laughing chaotically like a 6 year doing naughty shit. He's having fun, correctly!

red glow? that was white

@@ketsu9670 The color "red" was also involved, regarding the glowing exhaust system. You're both right!

​@@ketsu9670 I rarely come across videos that are giving me anxiety - this one was one of them ! expected molten metal flying around every next second while watching that disturbingly white glow and happy mad Robert in front of it

@@feldgeist2637 zakkerly what i thought..... those pipes are glowing white-hot........ the metal looks close to going molten imo........... it was fortunate he turned it off when he did..........

And you're worried about the Corona

@@stevenjenkins3882 So?

Did you see that next-level "Mad Max MONSTER thingy" on the flatbed in the background?? Can't wait to see the video on that gaw'damn beast!

Am internet. Can confirm.

That's too technical for this lil' jet-powered bugaboo

An purpose built action cam would suit the situation a bit better

You really finna kill him, dawg. Don’t do that

He needs a friend with a camera drone.

🤣🤣🤣

He is in fact 26 years old.

@@youview1327 No.... no... he's 16 years old!!!

@@youview1327 A 26 year old Grandpa

@@cogwun if you have kids at 13, and they have kids at 13.... yeah about checks out

HA - maybe a 13-year old - that beard is a bit long for a 12-year old - HA.

@@geneva760 You may be right! I'm waaaaay past 13, and I still can't grow a cool beard!

I dont think young is really proper for him, man looking like santa claus

Young man💀

Young? You must be ancient

Calling obviously old men and old women young is a cruel lie that should go away and never practiced again.

@@richsackett3423 it's not cruel, it's a nod to his spirit. i assume you are a youngin yourself so i don't hold it against you that you weren't aware the words used in my comment is how some older folks speak. have a good day

Looked like they were about to burst..

Makes me wonder how they don't just melt.

it had a few hundred degrees to go but yeah it was close

@@pronoob3525 ...and he said it was only half throttle ! I wonder what those engines are made from. They sure turned hot quickly especially the center one.

@@harryberry474 hopefully titanium

......cool story.....🥱

@@jojjojo4646 uhhh, k? Who asked?

Wizard means "wise one." Nothing wise about what he's doing. Foolish, maybe. Not wise.

​@@magicbrownie1357 boo fuckin hoo, you know what he is saying. and if you dont, im laughing my ass off at you being such a culturally stunted individual

@Brat Hahn hahahahahahah i was not ready for this one

😛😉🇺🇸

I was looking for that comment lol

That's a one time pulse burst of power. For that one time when you want to see the moon up close, and personal.

Sure, when it explodes . . . .

I was looking for the ACME label. “Wil E Coyote” style!

@@muddhammer7834 , Nice one. I can hear the sound effects now....a cartoon explosion, followed by a high pitched whistling sound as he drops back to earth, before the splatow of impact.

I'd prefer to see some sort of heat shield between them!

Ah that heat make propane put out better

My thoughts exactly 🤣

I'm guessing the camera sensor is blowing out the highlights. If it were accurate, according to the kelvin color temperature chart, that would be 5000-6000 degrees celsius (which it can't be because what metal can withstand that heat, right?). So I'm guessing we'd need a camera sensor with more dynamic range to guess the temp - or does anyone know the temp those things get up to?

The camera can lie a bit but the metal color seemed like it was close to the melting point of steel. Its probably the camera lying a bit, but I'd be very worried about getting the thing just explode on my back. But he probably knows better. Yeah It seems its after sunset so the colors seem much more bright than they actually are.

Some one else needs to film him driving it for when one of those LPG tanks explodes from the heat radiation.

Precisely! Start up was buttery smooth! Extraordinary for pulse jets.

That's what I was thinking too! Those pulse jets just started right up!!!

@@cobratraxxas Yeah agreed. I bet he did some careful reading and learning about the original uses of these to find the best solutions ;)

@@N4CR5 Everyone knows the germans made these to blow up civilians.

The Buzz Bomb!

The smile on his face... Priceless!

Too cool, nothing like 3 valveless pulse jets(rather large)on a kart!!..I would have named it Triple Threat lol but Beast suits it just fine🍻

To say nothin of the 60's lid

not rockets, not a missile

@@snowgorilla9789 That's Apollo era attire right there SG. Good call.

Right totally forgot about this dude. Sweet footage!

Since you were a teen? Bet it's been a long time old man

So that's why it sounds like a 2 stroke jet

We need more of that!!!

Try getting on an ultralight airplane, that look stays on your face for a month or better!! We call becoming unglued, (from earth)

At that age, the most dangerous thing in life is people telling you to take it easy.

@@PhilJonesIII yes you could see how happy he was.while riding his rocket.

Epically amazing adventure*

Did you get an experimental vaccine? 🤣

@Mazinblaster Z oh damn I thought this was twitter

You might be able to say something actually funny if you didn't try to shoehorn your idea into this stupidly awkward format.

​@@thoughttranscending What a fucking stupid insult.

@@nunliski How is your idea of a good insult just saying what the other guy said was stupid lol.

How in heck does instant start pulsejet work?

@@erlend1554 it doesn't need airflow as it's an acoustic pulse jet. Once it starts and as long as there is fuel it's just going to run.

@@erlend1554 I'm pretty sure it involves deep techno magic and the sacrifice of a field full of innocent virgin frogs.

@@kiwibob223 tbh everytime in the past I saw some1 starting these, he used leaves blowers to make the initial air pressure, so I understand the surprise

I just realized the military's "chinese mortar" field water heaters are very VERY loosely based on this design! 🤣

Same here. The distinctive "growl" it makes left no doubt in my mind what he'd just lit off.

How fast You figure that can go?
