  3. That is so wild. Thanks. This a huge leap forward for high speed one
    wheeled technology. This may be the BC wheel's intro into distance and
    speed riding.

  4. just you watch... someone's going to be putting on a small propane
    powered valveless pulsejet engine on one of those soon...(google
    valveless pulsejet, and you'll see what i mean...)

  7. well, you'd need some extra wide platforms...

    you could mount a small one around the wheel and over/under the
    platforms...

    pulsejets are in a U-shape anyway, so it'd fit and look pretty good.
    They are REALLY noisy, and are pretty powerful if you build it right...
    also, they get REALLY REALLY hot REALLY REALLY fast. just warning
    you...

  8. LOL, yeah, I'm not so sure about the whole pulsejet thing. I would like
    to come out of these experiments in one piece you know. 🙂

    Spudman, this attempt was with 2 E engines.

    Thanks for posting this Carl!

    Roman and I will probably do some more experimentation this weekend.
    There's still room for improvement in creating a good ignition system
    and we still have to try using 4 engines.

    And for anyone who may have missed the first 'making of' video, you can

  9. Just make a belt that will hold the pulse jet engine around the riders
    waist, then you wouldn't have to figure out how to fit it on the wheel.
    Nice video, can't wait till you add more rockets make sure you post
    here next time you make a video about it
