- Ever wonder what will happen if you strap a large RC jet engine to a go-kart! in this video I do exactly that and the results were nothing short of spectacular!
here's a link to the Insta360 GO 2:

I had this idea for a really long time I'll ago but I was originally going to use a homemade turbojet that I was going to build, however, the weight of this, the sheer size held me back from building it, also it didn't look really pretty.
I tried to keep it very compact, light and extremely simple, I think I succeeded.
as for performance it was pretty insane the acceleration from 0 to 20 was kind of slow but as soon as you had 20 miles per hour it's a constant push once you hit 40 the push feels four times as strong and it starts getting scary really fast.
I'm totally going to set this up on a nice smooth stretch of road soon to see what kind of top speed I can hit, or at least see how it feels at higher speeds.

There's something about the sound of a jet spooling up that's just badass.
Ikr
I think it’s the most annoying sounds in the world
Saludos desde Chile , y si pones el jet , apuntado al suelo tendría mas empuje . Maravilloso donde consigo un jet para mi
@@shawnhickman1412 now we know how to annoy you. Someone give this man’s neighbor an RB211 engine.
I almost went deaf!
But it is cool
The sound of the engine tearing the air is simply too sweet
this looks like something out of garry's mod
Also seems quite deafening as a jet engine would be lol
@@snek9983 weird that you mentioned that, I thought of Gmod too
I just found your channel today. There's something about hearing that little jet engine rev up, that makes my eyes widen and I get a big stupid grin on my face. Well done. This is amazing.
I'm honestly surprised those RC jets produce appreciable thrust for a go-kart + human. Very cool. I wonder if you could add an afterburner...
Colin Furze smiles upon your shenanigans.
Edit: OMG people, that's not a criticism. WP and CF are two of my favorite CZcamsrs.
He's ok...
I guess this was an inspirational build that is actually resembles Colin furze’s jet bike but instead of his two skinny wheels there’s four
@@WarpedPerception TOP SPEED RUN NEEDS TO HAPPEN. like a mile in a straight line.
@@dilianvt just this jet isn't a pulse jet
Yea man can you imagine if they did a collaboration 🤔
My favorite thing about this channel, the craftsmanship of the TIG welding coupled with using packing tape to mount GPS to the steering wheel, mad respect.
omg thank you, "quality, quality, quality, ...... FUCK IT!!!! LETS GO"
wow
Lol... I call it mixed precision, only the important things get attention to detail.
@@nathanludwig1224 basically how It went down, once I got pretty much done I was like anxious.
@@WarpedPerception "Tape where we can, weld where we must" :P
When he starts driving, captions say "music"
Loved that
20 years ago I'd be on the phone , ordering a jet engine ! Now , watching this scares the crap out of me ! Epic build !!!!
I can respect any man who puts his balls around jet fuel and gives it a go.
Everyone hears a fighter jet but see a little go cart
This is the exact opposite of a Tesla...
People were stopping looking in the sky, and then they realized it was a go kart
@@WarpedPerception you serious?
Just like Honda Civics.
@@engineglue 🤣🤣
I love the camera tech ... the wide field of vision is just like what you'd see in real life.
Ever since high school when my shop teacher built a crude jet engine to explain to us how they worked, I always thought it would be cool to strap a couple to a go kart. Then you put a much more sophisticated engine on one. Way cool.
It’s pretty funny hearing a go-kart sounding like an American Airlines flight to Miami.
Yeah but without the annoying safety speech or the crash landing and explosion at 600 mph lol!
Kkn klk no on n n pm
Movimientoilo
Only if you don't live next door.
do flights to Orlando sound different? :D
The 777 engine sounds a lot different than the 737 engine
You did it! Great job! We need to know the top speed!
YES
Nice to see you here man!
1000mph
Not to be mean but you have a spelling error.
@@logan8939 It's the internet. Nobody cares.
Holy crap! I had no idea those engines had that much thrust! Awesome!
i love the high pitch sound of a jet engine, sounds so cool!
This is 100% why I watch things on CZcams. So much fun to watch!
good work
This guy is obsessed with jets engines I mean I would do the same lol
me too
Well he spent the however many thousand dollars it costed, may as well get your money’s worth, and make both of us happy at the same time. Lol
Its a turbo witha fuel nozzle and igniter
Ha! Well I've been meaning to bring a few subjects to this channel for a while now and jets is one of them.
@@WarpedPerception what happened to your finger? Birth defect or oopsie?
Bonneville baby! There must be a class for this mad ride!
Ok, I want one! Awesome video...hope to see the follow up video of this great project with the parts you were waiting for! Again, geat fabrication and mechanical skills. Waiting for your follow up video.
Two things:
1- your mount looks to be able to accommodate 3 turbines.
2 - get some brakes on those front wheels.
imagine walking down the street hearing a full-throttle jet engine and u start looking at the sky, then u see him cruising down the street in his jet kart 😂😂😂
No kidding hahaha
(Internally dying of laughter)
Where the jet while looking at the sky. Oh damn it's just a gokart🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now if these can also fly as well in the sky literally jet kart
Those jet sound is sweet to my ear
The sound of a jet engine starting and powering up is always satisfying... 😌
I'm not tech-savvy just a savvy tech enthusiast and sometimes too savvy of an enthusiast. Confused already? I love this channel. It's entertaining.
And this is why you don't let engineers get bored. :D
so true
After endless engine episodes I'm tired of working on engines, so to take my mine of engines I'm putting a jet engine on a go cart.
This is why you let engineers get bored
When you now about number.
You do everything.🇵🇷.
The guy is the Best 💯.
No. This is why you LET engineers get bored, because than they will create something cool like this😂
I appreciate what is being shown here for its novel application of jet propulsion to the vehicle.
Fifty-five years ago the older kids (budding mechanics they were) in the neighborhood adapted a huge West Bend two-cycle chainsaw engine to a lightweight go kart frame. That thing could outrun the wind. Even the bravest of the group wouldn't take it out for a second run. These guys had the brand new US Route 1 bypass that connected the northern terminus of the Roosevelt Blvd. to a distant point near Levittown, Pennsylvania, for their test track. That motor was screeching every time some young fool made a pass at 80 mph (estimated) with blue smoke trailing in their wake. The guys ended up putting a 5 hp side reel Tecumseh motor on the go kart which was enough fun to race around the park without someone facing certain death.
Thanks for sharing
right, as a teen my brother let me have his cart for the summer. it was a blast, power sliding through a shell/ asphalt road. he said check the oil level every once in a while and you pay for the gasoline................. so, not a problem.
*What a cool video. It’s amazing how much thrust that little jet engine gives.*
Nice! I once attached a bunch of solid fuel model rocket engines to the sissy bar of an old bicycle. Banana seat caught fire and the thrust didn't last long enough to go fast, but I looked awesome going through that intersection crapping fire from a Huffy!
i like how he's all like no more engines then presents a jet engine
Yeah - solid rocket booster for the win!
JATO powered go kart... hey y'all, watch this (here, hold my beer)
@@Fly4aWhiteGuy Perfect for drag racing! But not much else, lol
Don’t know why CZcams felt like I needed to see this, but I’m glad I did.
It's a wonder CZcams didn't put a hazardous to your health label on it.
You sir are on point ! I'm in Australia and only just viewed this . I'm already hooked . Going to push my mates onto your content . . . . LOVE IT ! thanks from "downunder" .
Amazing. Especially after putting so much work into such a project that you get rewarded with so much fun. Great video and great work!
that constant force of thrust really add up with time and almost achieves a terminal velocity (unlike a chain-driven engine)
Yes terminal velocity... I'll have to do the math soon and see what the top speed should do.
@@WarpedPerception you will have to factor in the total frontal drag and also if your engine isn’t exposed to the direct airstream you won’t get any ram recovery. Maybe build a split inlet to single duct (like on a T-7 Jet Trainer) and that way you can force feed the engine air instead of it sitting in the relative vacuum that is the area behind you.
Honestly, two of those engines and a (shut off of course) highway...
@@superskullmaster seems like this project has legs. Add aero at the end?
@@techelectricfuture3094 ?
Because the brakes aren't connected to the engine technically you can be full throttle on the jet engine and then be able to use the brakes and still slow down while you have full throttle on the whole time Because its not connected like a traditional piston engine would be and Because its not directly connected it has no rolling resistance and this combination with 70lbs of thrust would create an insanely fast go kark, amazing video loved it
Problem is that, with the power and wheels being separated like this, it's much easier to skid and understeer since a much larger friction force is required at the wheels in order to slow down. I would love to see this same setup with the addition of another jet engine and a foot throttle.
@Yusuf Adam Can’t see that happening.You’d get roasted trying to overtake!😂🔥
How on earth havent you replaced the wheels with eight of these bad boys!.. Goooooo Jetsons!
Top effort cobber.
Cheers for sharing.
What an awesome build! True artisan, what fun!
damn that little camera's video quality is WAY better than I expected.
The future is now
A small electric motor for the low end coupled with the jet would be insane.
A small electric motor for sub 40km/h and jet engine for 100km/h+
@@jessegilbert3629 isn’t 100 kph like 60 in mph if that’s the case you have a death wish
I just commented the same thing you beat me to it. that would be the way to go
@@timjames2871 heck yes, I was stoked for the Cleetus turbo LS/jet car combo. I was bummed when he decided not to do it, but I completely understand the safety concerns and why he went a diffrent direction.
@@joshmanis9860 I don't think so. I have friends that can do 80kmh on a long board.
So I think having a go kart with brakes doing that speed isnt so bad
Jet powered go-cart. Man, that thing is just too slick!! Nice work.
What a genius! mechanic, science and engineering plus lot of fun with go-kart!
“All I’ve been doing is engines” Heres another engine but different. 🥸😂💜🍀
having zero power to the wheels must feel so weird
So weird.
@@WarpedPerception make a turboshaft
@@shadowopsairman1583 clutch and all too much job i reckon
@@shadowopsairman1583 JetCat makes a turboshaft version. It'd be a lot more powerful but the throttle response would be super slow and the gearbox/freewheeling mechanism would be a pain to make.
You need to be able to apply power through the corners in karting so unfortunately this won't work for a racing kart.
I like your knowledge, talent and was excited to see such a crazy project that I have dremt about since I was much younger. I really am amazed at your machined talent and equipment that you use to construct these projects. You are what I wish I could have done with my spare time. Thank you sooooo much for delivering the dreams of many in their youth.
Great project, exciting to watch and imagine. I love the sound of the jet engine. There is just something about that sound that makes kids of all ages just SMILE. Thanks for the dreams.
Wow, you manufactured the parts and almost the whole unit! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Good to watch your video and learn. Thanks!
Thank you
As an ex commercial welder I can honestly your welding skills are fairly impressive. You have a good hand for engineering
In Soviet Russia Igor Negoda set the same engine on bycicle.
👍🏻😁
His videos were awesome before with all the scratch built carbon fiber planes, etc. But now his content is kind of boring. Also subtitles take time.
@@yayayayya4731 yeah
Jay Leno has a motorcycle built with a jet engine. He said it’s pretty scary.
@@WytcherNytes it is a production motorcycle Y2K with a gasturbine. that power up a power turbine to the rear wheel.
Warped perception, I really would be grateful to be part of your inventions. Hey always inspire and my interest keeps booming by ever of your videos I see. So much respect to you❤️
I never thought that small engine would produce so much of thrust 😎👍😎Great work. Must have been a nice experience to ride that go cart 😎😎😎
I knowing such a Turbine in RC Model Jets and Airliner, never saw a Go Kart with Turbine Looks Hot. :)) Thumb up.
There's plenty of builds of them here on CZcams, you just gotta look.
You're here
Oh PLEEEEASE tell me there’s MORE!!! That was so fun! I wish you had looked at the speedometer a couple of times, I couldn’t begin to estimate your speed.
Well done Sir!
I put that wee camera on all my rc planes and cars. The ability to edit is pretty nice and honestly it's an amazing wee thing
Crazy. Awesome! Brilliant job.
TOP SPEED RUN NEEDS TO HAPPEN. like a mile in a straight line.
Definitely one of the sickest gocarts in the world. Can't imagine the feeling of driving that thing. Also, the sound of that jet engine is just incredible. I couldn't build this in my garage if my life depended on it. Kudos to you man, you're friggin genius.
It was the most fun I've had filming a video even if I didn't have a chance to get the speed up there ... Thanks!
That's pretty slick!!!! The roar of that jet is awesome! Definitely a fun ride. Idea for you next build... electric fan jets (multiple). That would be interesting.
It was so awesome just watching you drive that monster. Wish I was there, absolutely amazing, great job.
Pure badassery right there. Sweet build man, I agree with other comments, I'd love to see the difference in power the turbine could produce if you could get it into the airstream, maybe fab an intake duct to scoop air and dump it into the front of the turbine.
I mean it's pretty simple, you see jet powered go-cart, you have to click. The sound it makes is amazing. Great job.
That is a awesome gocart, very fast my friend, good job .
It is wonderful to see a craftsman at work! Amazing content
I love the sound of a jet engine winding up. It brings a smile to my face every time. Just like a kid in a toy store. You know something cool is about to happen. Like a go kart with a jet engine on it. Cool kart man. Thanks for making it and bringing a smile to my face.
That's why the 777 is every avgeek's fav plane because of the startup
From go kart mechanic to rocket scientist. My man you've done it this time.
Daaamn every time when I hear a jet engine gets ready my ears are blessed.
Just called in man that little jet engine is magic very exciting nice one good video
Cheers
About time !
Carts were really never noisy enough.
Your enthusiasm and creativity is infectious.
Sweet, Jet ride. I liked the video shot over the shoulder looking backwards. You need a long runway to open it up on and see what it will do. Once it gets going it looks like it just jumps up to speed rather easily. Cant wait to see more.
Great engineering and a lot of fun. I hate being a party pooper, but The Rover Company in the UK built a jet car in the 1960’s which they hoped might be the future for cars as it was becoming for aircraft, but they had all sorts of problems such as fuel consumption, fumes/heat dispersal, throttle response, braking as you are finding. The car did go well and reached 150mph in Belgium on a straight road. Douglas Bader, the WW2 British fighter ace, flew the Gloster Meteor after the war and he thought with 2 huge jets this thing is going to go like hell. When he gave it full throttle for takeoff, however, he said it trundled down the runway ‘like an old lorry’! I think it’s probably a case of ‘horses for courses’.
This is definitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen lol well done man!! Can’t believe that lil puppy makes so much thrust
do a little build improvement especially the fuel tank, then, put 2 jets on there. you'd rule the world. or at least youtube.
And Guinness book of world records .
That it a single F16 JFS lol. It makes over twice the thrust but could easily fit in that space.
You need a couple of enduro kart fuel tanks and a trust fund for jet fuel. How serious is the exhaust temp to anything sneaking up behind you?
I had autocaptioning on by accident when I watched this. As you are flying around the parking lot, it puts up the caption "[music]" Perfect!
This is so insanely cool, I now want one! Maybe a double jet engine cart.
Wouldn't be practical. They eat a lot of fuel.
@@bradleyj.fortner2203 Yeah I know. Still would be cool to have one though.
this was simply amazing,at one point you tore through the fabric of reality
I think I speak for everybody when I say I want to see you take this a test track.
Yes a track with banked curves like indy 500!
Al Uncer has a go cart track in Denver
Hit up cletus in florida
@@neilwinterz6994 take it to bandimere haha 😂
Sounds like a full sized jet engine, amazing
Sick brew! I want to test drive that monster.
I live out in the country surrounded by woods on many acres. We have a new " neighbor " that has called the sheriff on me numerous times because they cannot account noises I make to what I may be doing. The sheriff has told them to stop calling them it no bussiness of there's what I'm doing. I really need one of those little jet engines to drive them totally nuts, that and a few gun shots should do the trick.
And get a tesla coil to play music through. You can make some very strange sounds with it
Obviously you never watch Fear Thy Neighbor on the ID channel.... lol
Playing some bombing sound effects probably will make them go more nuts..
If you tune the turbine engine just right, the pops it will generate will negate any necessity for gun shots, the neighbours will think you're blowing up your and their house :D
Well there was this one guy who made some super sonic cannon of some sort that shot air at super sonic speeds to detur weather or soemthing like that for his crops, whenever he used it peolle thought it was a terrorist attacking or soemthing like that, look it up they are actually fairly simple if you have the time to take and learn how it works and how to make one properly and safely
(Writing this 2 mins into the vid) Legitimately liked the video purely for the shot where you mounted the camera to the axel to show your work. Like the rest of the video so far has been gold as well but that legitimately stood out to me as some incredible cinematography for a youtube channel. Like the whole project deserves way more than just a like on each vid, but for some reason the camera work is what has stuck out to me the most so far. I'm legitimately impressed.
Dude you are out of your mind! I love it!
Dude, just found your channel and see how you built that jet engine, i gotta say it's amazing and appreciate your hard work, please keep it up!
That is ABSOLUTELY fantastic!! Enjoyed every minute of this video. Thanks for the entertaining post😁
That was sick as hell dude! Keep doing what you're doing, I'm wanting to see more of what you're doing..
That was awesome. Great video.. you are the first I've ever seen to do this. Good Job
This is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen
Looks like great fun, would love to try this!
"I love how light and quite it is".....until you start a freaken Jet engine up in the car park and the people in the building think there's a jump jet landing outside
your welds are pure perfection "chefs kiss"
Fantastic, what a project, what a Video!!!
You might get more out of the jet if it has a "clean" air input, rather than all the turbulence from being behind your seat. Great vid!!
@Warped Perception, nute has a really good suggestion. It needs some air inlets that travel around you and grab smooth air from in front of/beside you
I understand what you mean, but (and I'm not sure) I'd imagine is fine in its position for its use, I doubt there's that much of a low-pressure area behind the seat to restrict the inlet. Just my take though
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. GOOD FOR YOU!
Love the sound looks really fun aswel
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a LONG time, instant subscriber.
I think that you should mount two engines in the back to improve your take off speed. Loved the mod and the video!
2 engines ?😲 that will be suicide 😄😄😄
great idea
13:50 Wow that looks scary fast from that angle
Freaking awesome man. Looks like so much fun. Thanks for sharing
Now I need to learn how to make my own mini jet engine. Your video gives a lot of inspiration
....now just to work out ‘in flight refueling’ so you don’t have to stop.
Step one get another gokart with two separate tanks
@@jasongrim2027 he could probably make a nice 5 gallon pressurized bladder tank to reduce the amount of sloshing going on.... how aerobatic aircraft do it.
That's some impressive creativity right there, well done!
If you were trying to make a very slow go cart.......you nailed it.
That's amazing! Great engineering and fabrication.
The biggest issue appears to be the lack of instant throttle control, which must be unnerving approaching corners. Perhaps the next bit of fabbing could be thrust reversing shutters linked to the brake pedal? Not sure where you'd duct the thrust to though!
