i'm bob maddox from jacksonville oregon
This is my nineteen fifties styles cruiser bicycle that i built and but one of my jets on engines
and but one of my jet engine on, it's a pulsejet engine
it runs on gasoline we have a fuel tank here
and a fuel line coming out of the fuel tank
down to uh... filter
up into a high pressure
uh...
the pump the runs about a hundred psi ninety two hundred psi
then it comes out here in and goes to the engine
we have uh... batteries up underneath the seat
we hook these wires into
and then uh...
we have a on off switch here
and then a safety
switch right here you have to pull
and spring-loaded so uh... if you've got off the bike for whatever reason that
uh...
the bike wouldn't just keep going
and then we have a throttle control over here that varies the voltage to the fuel
pump
umm
it uh... it takes off
acceleraites pretty hard probably somewhere between a zero two
forty fifty in
in six seven eight seconds something like that
it's a little bit to hang onto but uh...
if runs really really smooth it uh... it doesn't pull to one side of the
other which you might think it would because of the
weighed on one side and uh... and
I put about three or four degrees uh... into the
rear the engine to help push it straight and uh...
so i haven't taken it up really fast because it's just a bicycle
doesn't have any high speed is tires or
rims or anything like that on so i'm
but um...
it uh...
it's a lot of fun to ride
