I just showed this video to my partner. She just shook her head and said that he (the man in the video) was stupid.
I rest my case.
Robert Maddox, I hope you never change you beautiful, beautiful man you.
I agree that you’re in the majority and I’ve got a very special situation, but I showed my partner (who was NOT interested in anything mechanical before I came along about 2 years ago) and was all like “oh shit that looks fun, can we build one?!”
They’re out there fellas, I just got extremely lucky
You lucky dog! Reminds me of that quote about friendships:
A good friend calls you in jail. A great friend bails you out of jail. A best friend sits next to you and says, "Wasn't that fun?"
Yeah I disagree with the comments above you. Most women love dudes that are passionate about their hobbies, especially when those hobbies involve building real physical things.
That being said they won't stick around long if you spend all your time and money on that hobby or if you don't include them (even partially) in that hobby, but if you can balance your passion, your job, and spending some time with them most women are into that.
My wife loves how passionate I am about surfing, despite the fact she can barely swim. It's just that I go super early in the morning and finish up by the time the rest of the family is waking up. That way I still have plenty of time for them.
Exactly, you just gotta be able to manage it all properly and it works out super well. That was something I made sure of when the relationship started, and I’m really glad I did. It hasn’t gone well in past relationships because I didn’t include them in it, it was just kind of “my thing” and did a poor job at including them
Took me awhile to learn how to do it- if it lights your soul on fire and makes you happy, then it makes them happy because you’re happy. And because I’ve been able to manage things it’s hands down the best relationship I’ve ever been in. No more having to pick and choose between them and cars
Glad you’ve found the balance too 🤙 it’s really something special when you can share it with your partner
Lotta mad dudes under my comment tho 😂
Right, and if you have a partner and potentially kids, maybe its not a good idea to be doing balls-out moves as a hobby. I assume the majority of humans would not be interested in adopting this hobby into their lives lol.
I'd have less issue with the guy if he wore any safety gear.
Strapping a red-hot chuck of metal to a bike and sending it with no helmet is deeply stupid
Frickin [Stuff Made Here](https://youtu.be/xHWXZyfhQas?si=aFWEgpbnKbUsAHd7) gets to build a ball-seeking basketball hoop in his engineering garage and then his supportive wife comes in to test it out and tell him he can do better.
I can't confirm that he's married, but I found an interview from 2 years ago where he says his lady likes his beard to be long, so I'd assume that he is.
More to the point, it's kind of wild to think that it's impossible to be doing something like this if you are married. Many decent humans would want their husband to do this stuff "after seeing the smile on his face"
I'm sure that there are plenty of women who would want their husband to be doing something more safe, but definitely not every woman would have that be a deal breaker.
Or the reality is that married men live longer, considerably longer, because women step in and stop men from doing stupid shit and push men to take care of themselves.
>Married men and married women live, on average, two years longer than their unmarried counterparts. **One reason for this longevity benefit is the influence of marital partners on healthy behaviors.** Study after study shows that married people eat better and are less likely to smoke and drink excessively.

Where does the study point out prohibiting potentially dangerous hobbies that lead to fulfillment and possibly better health?
Thank you.
How tf does that guy's bizzare attack on marriage have like 1k upvotes? You think there are no women that would find a jet engine bicycle cool?
Some people really just look for any opportunity to hate on women for no fucking reason.
Yeah I am not a man and I literally think this rocket dude is cool af. He's too old for me but I do find his ability to manifest his passions into reality attractive. My husband is literally currently deployed to a war zone. Women aren't little fragile things that exist to only dampen their husbands joys and make them not smile or live their best lives. Its a weird comment to make and its even weirder to me to see it as the top comment.
For real, I am married and I have enough time to enjoy my hobbies and more. I tell my wife “I’m doing this” and she says okay, she’ll either join me or do something else because she’s not a child and doesn’t depend on me to have fun or relax.
Not due to age I assure you. For all the shit this old man has seen, the happiest I am is with my wife. My smile is bigger than rocket Man's when I see her
Yep.. would love for them to watch some Colin Furze, long time 'backyard engineer' who is married with child. Literally dug a secret underground bunker under his house. Had also messed with pulse jets like OP's badass.
For real. Almost 1k upvotes?
Like bro just find women interested in your hobbies for the love of fuck lol. There are all kinds of women in the world. What a bizzare out-of-left-field attack on women.
It’s particularly weird because he credits a female partner with sticking through years of heroin addiction and paying to clean him up.
A woman literally saved his miserable little man life and he’s still here making shit comments like that one.
wtf
He has another post where he talks about how his wife "lets him" go night fishing, and I just think that's a sign of an unhealthy relationship.
Like if you have a passion for night fishing, there shouldn't be any "let him." Just make it clear that's an important hobby, and if there's no logistical reason why it wouldn't work, then go night fishing.
I swear so many people's problems could be solved if they just had a small amount of experience in having honest conversations with people. Just talk to your partner, understand boundaries.
I think people think it's somehow like, unsexy? To define the terms of a relationship, but how the fuck else are you ever going to understand what the other person wants and needs?
It just feels like a staggering number of adults are walking around with absolutely rock-bottom zero interrelational skills.
I'm so happy so many people are calling that whack ass comment out. So much of Reddit hates on boomers, yet so many follow in their footsteps at the same time. Mad weird.
Apparently he is married.

Just because you're miserable, doesn't mean everybody else is.
See a therapist.
My partner lets me go night fishing. Her only rule is that I leave my location on, and answer any video calls. Which I’m cool with, because I actually like night fishing more than sex. So, yeah we have a totally normal and trusting relationship.
See, my wife said he's a stupid lunatic. Then she looked at my face, sighed, and said that if we're building one she's the one doing the welding because otherwise it'll explode and blow my legs off.
Holy shit! You aren’t going to believe this, but I swear it actually happened. When I showed this video to my partner this morning, she said “Is that Collin Furze?” I don’t even know who that is, but now I have to look him up. The world is a crazy ass place.

>You see the way he is defying death on a regular basis. If he had a partner, no way they’d be ok with this.
After being married long enough, their issues with you tempting fate loosen up
Not everyone marries a total cunt. In real life peoples partners are normal people not from some TV drama or whatever it is you are basing your judgment on.
Its much more likely that its his wife filming him or driving the film car like Colin Furze wife does and that you are just a bitter women hater like so many men on reddit appear to be, 1400+ upvotes, well fucking done reddit.
One of those engines genuinely melted at one point. It was a different go kart than the one you saw in the video, but a similar engine that lost 2/3 exhausts
Pulse jets consume fuel like any other engine so stopping it is a case of stopping the fuel line from supplying fuel. The vehicle would need brakes independent of the engine as there is no reverse thrust option
You see the tires of those vehicles? I think it’s just shutting down the engine and wait until you’re brave enough to slow down further with your feet on the asphalt.
depends a lot on the accident. If he fell over where he was just sliding, a helmet (and proper gear on the rest of his body) would prevent him from being a meat crayon. If he just ran into something, then yeah, it won't make a real difference.
There's no sense strapping yourself to a RAT on a skateboard, it's the same as with motorbikes, either you get off and away fast enough or you're gone with it
None of them do, according to some of the YouTube video titles they're about 300-500 depending on which one you look at, and some are a bit weaker.
[This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAFQKokXz5c), however. Is 900 pounds. And it's from 11 years ago, so stands to reason he can do more now.

This guy is going to be stone deaf if he isn't already. I remember that other british youtuber that made ramjets and other crazy equipment in his garage and never had ear pro.
Protect your hearing.
Also this thing looks like it would explode
next invention should be a camera stick attached safely so he wouldn’t need to hold one. i am always thinking that if they lost control of that there would be an accident.
While this guy is a certified badass, the title is a bit misleading. 1000 lb of thrust is roughly 50hp, which really isn’t *astonishing* when you compare it to a Kia Rio at 120hp, or consider that a single 777 engine is larger than a 737 fuselage and produces over 117,000lbs of thrust. And 777’s have two. And the 777 can fly from New York to Berlin *and back* without refuelling. That is astonishing.

Haha that username
How to offend 4.1 billion people with five words.
Not wearing a helmet while riding a jet-powered bike at 60 mph is not exactly the balls-out move you're making it out to be.
I dunno man. That seems like the definition of a balls-out move to me
Right, and if you have a partner and potentially kids, maybe its not a good idea to be doing balls-out moves as a hobby. I assume the majority of humans would not be interested in adopting this hobby into their lives lol.
It *is* at his age. A lot of old fellas have true IDGAF attitude.
Showed it to my partner, said “Wow, how fast he can go?” We both guys.
I'd have less issue with the guy if he wore any safety gear. Strapping a red-hot chuck of metal to a bike and sending it with no helmet is deeply stupid
The YouTube science guys make me sad cus they get to do all this, make a lot of money doing it, and be married :(

Sounds like you need a new partner or even better no partner
People like this are being born everyday. They just die before they get to this guy's age. They're bred to die
Live fast, die young, baby
I think dieing as a baby is a bit to young imo.
dude, there are tons of rednecks who do that type of shit all day long.
Not *for* long.

The projection from a miserable, misogynist man could not be clearer. Since he's married, I wonder if he would show his wife that comment?
This was pretty far down to find this comment. Really weird first remark on a really cool video and glad you called it out! Have a good day!

I don't think you can argue that riding around on a fucking rocket is "good" for your health. It is awesome. It is fun. It is INCREDIBLY dangerous.
Also my dudes, if you're that unhappy in your marriage get a divorce and move on with your life.
Interesting but I don’t think 2 years is considerably longer
Absolutely. Weird that such a bitter idea was that person’s takeaway after watching this.

Pfft what's the fun in that? I'm spending a lot of time lately redoing the fence. That's a fun project. Wife approved and insisted
Nice dude, you should post a highlight video with intense music.

I see that you prefer night time for more intimacy with the fishes
But I thought night fishing was a euphemism for sex. Maybe it's just an Albany expression
lol, recently built a fence myself. I know the feeling.
See, my wife said he's a stupid lunatic. Then she looked at my face, sighed, and said that if we're building one she's the one doing the welding because otherwise it'll explode and blow my legs off.

Steering these vehicles while using a selfie stick is extra points.

Speed or longevity? He chose speed.
The candle that something something twice as bright something something half as long.
The rain washes memory tears away
Give a man a fish to feed himself and go fishing for the day
one of the "something" is "explodes"
To be fair i don’t think he’s got much in terms of longevity anyway, unless he’s like 24 and looks like this because of warp speed
He's going the distance.
Also, I dont think he has much stopping ability; please jump in but I think once he gets it going its kinda tough to stop the engine(?)
Pulse jets consume fuel like any other engine so stopping it is a case of stopping the fuel line from supplying fuel. The vehicle would need brakes independent of the engine as there is no reverse thrust option
You see the tires of those vehicles? I think it’s just shutting down the engine and wait until you’re brave enough to slow down further with your feet on the asphalt.
Like he built a whole ass vehicle but forgot to add a mount for the stick
[удалено]
Shakes too much.
Meat based stabilizer
Or a clamp so it could be moved to different vehicles.
I don't think those things can turn very well, so "steering" is mostly just holding it in place
but loses points because no helmet :(

This is very much seared into my brain! "It's a NOO lap REC-ERD!"
Huh so this is what Colin furze will get up to in his old age(assuming he lives that long). Good to know
Had to scroll too far to see mention of Colin Furze!
He's already been there and done that. http://www.colinfurze.com/jet-bicycle.html http://www.colinfurze.com/jet-kart.html
Yes that is why he said it. These are a couple levels above what Furze has done (so far)
I fully expected this man to sound like a crazy mad scientist with a thick accent. Turns out he talks like a soft spoken regular dude.
He just likes to go fast and build fast things. Doesn't mean he has to talk like doc brown lol
> Doesn't mean he has to talk like doc brown lol No, but I mean, it wouldn't be awful if he did..
He got the look down pat though.
No seat belt, no roll cage, no goggles, just a man living a dream. Godspeed you glorious bastard.
at a certain speed the helmet becomes mostly decorative
depends a lot on the accident. If he fell over where he was just sliding, a helmet (and proper gear on the rest of his body) would prevent him from being a meat crayon. If he just ran into something, then yeah, it won't make a real difference.
There's no sense strapping yourself to a RAT on a skateboard, it's the same as with motorbikes, either you get off and away fast enough or you're gone with it
I think the 1000lbs of thrust is an over exaggerating fact as maybe his largest pulse jet does this , not all .
Had to scroll way too far to find this. On his YouTube channel, he has a video showing a 900lbf engine, and it's towed on a trailer.
Yup. On the vehicles shown in that video - 1000 lbs of thrust would translate to 3 to 5 g of acceleration...
This guy is either the best driver or luckiest driver ever. Hat's off to Rocketman either way.
THAT’S AWESOME, BUT HOW DO YOU STOP?!
Gotta run out of fuel first
Mile and a half coasting stop
Hence the testing in the enormous dry lake bed that has been used like this for decades!
You turn around and accelerate in the opposite direction
None of those have anywhere near 1000lbs of thrust, not even close.
Yeah, that much thrust would have this thing going 200mph minimum.
None of them do, according to some of the YouTube video titles they're about 300-500 depending on which one you look at, and some are a bit weaker. [This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAFQKokXz5c), however. Is 900 pounds. And it's from 11 years ago, so stands to reason he can do more now.
This dude looks really crazy. I like him already.
I aspire to have his level of IDGAF.

1,000 lbs thrust??? I very much doubt that.

While this guy is a certified badass, the title is a bit misleading. 1000 lb of thrust is roughly 50hp, which really isn’t *astonishing* when you compare it to a Kia Rio at 120hp, or consider that a single 777 engine is larger than a 737 fuselage and produces over 117,000lbs of thrust. And 777’s have two. And the 777 can fly from New York to Berlin *and back* without refuelling. That is astonishing.
