It's cool but really really ugly, really. The scooter looks very nice though.

That does not look safe at all. And I don't really care about him, but people who drive behind him.
I would never give him a permision to drive that on the streets. :/

Definitely.

Easy fix, don't drive behind him. I sure as hell wouldn't get anywhere near that thing while it's running.

My hero :mrgreen:

Honestly, I'm glad that no one has totally forced him to stop. It's this kind of stuff that brilliant new inventions are born out of (even though I highly doubt that rocket cars will be the future).

Check out this guy, I've been watching his videos for awhile:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FRyDfs16bDk&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FRyDfs16bDk&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>[/youtube]
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/M8mjC_Inrj0&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/M8mjC_Inrj0&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>[/youtube]

If you check out his website, Powerlabs, he's also got all kinds of projectile experiments. I first found him through his second railgun project.

Yeah, I know, he was looking for something powerful that worked and not a pretty design, but he did a good job on the dashboard.
