Seek Him and you will find Him, ask Him and He will answer, knock and He will open. He did not leave us to our destruction, but came into the flesh in Jesus to make all things new. The reason we find ourselves in meaninglessness is because we are far from home, far from our home with God the Father. That's why He sent His only begotten Son, that we may find our home again, and our Father, through His Son, Christ Jesus. Amen
Failure looks to be in the welds to the brackets holding up the tail-end of the pipes. They just received more heat than planned from the hot propane mix.

I think It would be good to add some sort of coolling system (like those little tubes with a sort of very cold liquid that goes around Rocket thrusters) on the engine ir at least on the parts more prone to melting. I would be happy to get a second opinionon that for i don't know crap abput pulse engines (Sorry for bad english or vulgar language, i used to use Google translate on the Google keyboard but somehow they made the AI worse in the last update).
i love how happy he looks in the video even though he is old he is also not wasting his time or something like in the house all day and instead he is having fun with his life and doing everything he loves while he still got the time to do it love ya rocketman :D
But they would not link back. Legend has it, they still roam youtube in search of the fabled free bird rocket man. Will they succeed before another takes the mantle and links back? We shall see.
that was insane. the helmet he was wearing can be easily purchased here in Asia for motorcyclist at a very affordable price ($30-40). While it's a thrill watching Crazy Rocketman speed through with minimal protection, I can't imagine if he accidentally flipped and burnt by those ember exhausts. Loved the experimental spirit !

I can almost imagine a cop chasing you and when he pulls up alongside. Instead of pulling you over, he salutes, gives you a thumbs up, pulls in front of you and escorts you along the highway. Some spectacles are just too damn awesome to interrupt.
Too fkin awesome dude. Wish I could find wise ones like you to do these kinds of projects with. I’m sure a lot of us are tinkering in solitude majority the time...am I right? But dang, such a beautiful encapsulation of enjoyment through engineering and life’s journey. Needed some of that “out of this world” exceptional inspiration lately, thank you for that.

Failure diagnostics: 1:55 all four exhaust tubes are visible. 2:01 you can see the back exhaust tube slowly falling. The heat didn't melt the steel tubes, it just made them so hot that they entered the superplastic or ductile area, just like when forging steel. Given their length, weight and vibrations, it's no wonder they bent down like hot candy! It 'only' took them nearly two minutes to collapse and you kept driving with them bent almost longer than when they were straight! Ahahahha epic! Ignorance is bliss! A simple support frane or a suspension cable would hold them up next time- minimum effort for maximum efficiency :) Excellent video!
This...This man and his rocket go-cart should be in a video game. F'n insane! The start-up sound. The glow of the exaust manifold! This would have to be a legendary craft or drop or a platinum trophy 🏆. I love it.
You sir are an absolute legend and I have subscribed and will look back on your older videos. Came up in my suggestion list. Absolutely love this video
Godspeed, you crazy bastard; I hope to one day enjoy life as much as you do 😀 Also - that red hue on the ground around the kart when its going is insane!
1. Engine is red hot ✅ 2. Nice style ✅ 3. No seatbelt ✅ 4. Steering with one hand ✅ 5. Holding camera on the second without losing it ✅ 6. Switching camera to other side ✅ 7. Risk of severe burn ✅ 8. Constant turns without falling ✅ 9. Tires survived the heat ✅ Yeah that wouldn't be me
I love how it looks like he's going so fast because of his beard and this ridiculous overheating and engine noise, but he's actually going super slow haha
As I'm getting older I'm finding myself more into propulsion physics than automotive engineering. Thank you for your channel. I hope to learn something from you sir!
My dude that is so insane, i wish we got to see those tubes bowing from the heat that happened in SECONDS, would have been very satisfying. You are insane bro
The counterbalance of the engine itself is more than enough for the vehicle itself it'd be a different story if the car actually had some build to it instead of being some kind of simple craft the engines would either not work in it's entirety or would provide push but no kinetic transference
Even with massive engine failure it just keeps running, thats magic

The heat didn't melt the steel tubes, it just made them so hot that they entered the superplastic or ductile area, just like when forging steel. Given their length, weight and vibrations, it's no wonder they bent down like hot candy! It 'only' took them nearly two minutes to collapse and you kept driving with them bent almost longer than when they were straight! Ahahahha epic! Ignorance is bliss!
A simple support frane or a suspension cable would hold them up next time- minimum effort for maximum efficiency :)
Excellent video!
I'm just surprised the very bright orange glow on the ground, which he must have noticed, didn't alert him to fact something was amiss on this run.
i am curious of how the pulsejet action would effect steel when its that hot
@@FallenMeowBob Give it a few runs like this and it will oxidize in a blink of an eye, leaving holes the size of quarters!
@@uhtred7860 I guess tunnel vision hits different with that amount of speeeeed
this guy is living out childhood dreams. Love to see it
Huge smile on his face the entire time. Living his best life!
one of the coolest videos on this whole website. Imagine being as awesome as this guy.
This...This man and his rocket go-cart should be in a video game. F'n insane! The start-up sound. The glow of the exaust manifold! This would have to be a legendary craft or drop or a platinum trophy 🏆. I love it.
You sir are an absolute legend and I have subscribed and will look back on your older videos. Came up in my suggestion list. Absolutely love this video
Protect this man at all costs.
I love his joy for life and optimism that the helmet and one free hand is all that he needs for his rocket adventure.
Not only this man is doing for content he’s doing what he loves best and doing it to get money so he can help himself or others. Stay strong
Thanks for bringing joy to my TH-cam feed, sir! So fun to watch you have fun!
You always brighten my day. Thanks, Bob.
This guy is amazing. That beard. That smile. That rocket car. Life goals.
This old dude is living it to the fullest. Best of luck, know you've lived more than most of us.
This guy is a national treasure. Good luck and good health to him. How fast does that little cart go?
When he past the truck it looked like 50-60 mph 😂
@@Velodynamic passed
@@Velodynamic Idk man it looked like 18 to me
@@TheRealCaptainFreedom loser
mach 5 ish.
Godspeed, you crazy bastard; I hope to one day enjoy life as much as you do 😀
Also - that red hue on the ground around the kart when its going is insane!
This looks absolutely badass and so fun to do. Godspeed, my good sir, you are a legend.
1. Engine is red hot ✅
2. Nice style ✅

7. Risk of severe burn ✅
8. Constant turns without falling ✅
9. Tires survived the heat ✅
Yeah that wouldn't be me
Guy was burning so much fuel his engine melted, what a lad!
now thats a man confident in his own creation lmao, always blown away every time one of your vids pops up on my feed xD
Just a crazy rocketman doing laps in the desert, I love it
I love how it looks like he's going so fast because of his beard and this ridiculous overheating and engine noise, but he's actually going super slow haha
But still looks fun
Faster than the chair your sitting in.
@@davidbarlow6860 you're*
the most fun anyone has ever had at 20 mph, im not jealous you're jealous!
@@davidbarlow6860um sir I'm sitting on a toilet I don't think it go very fast, I guess I'll need some more gas 😂
As I'm getting older I'm finding myself more into propulsion physics than automotive engineering.
Thank you for your channel. I hope to learn something from you sir!
I had stupid ear to ear grin watching this. Thank you so much for this.😊
04:00 I think he sums it all up; the sheer awesomeness, the force of will, the beard... all of it.
Sir,, you’ve just unknowingly adopted a new grandson!! You’re an absolute legend good Sir!
you will never grow old as long as you keep doing this !your a legend and an inspiration
We love you crazy rocket man
Not even an engine failure, it just got so hot that it decided it didnt want to hold itself up anymore. The worlds first playdough engine!
My dude that is so insane, i wish we got to see those tubes bowing from the heat that happened in SECONDS, would have been very satisfying. You are insane bro
the pure joy on his face, i envy that
I like how he is operating exteremly heavy and volatile equipment with only one hand. Rock on my guy, live for the moment
Я чувствую, что дед исполнил свою мечту, такая улыбка даёт о себе знать многое. Удачи в дальнейшем... и побольше здоровья...
This is dangerously badass, and I respect it! (Also how does the car go straight with the booster only on the one side?)
Maybe mount a fire extinguisher on each side (thinking of balance).
The counterbalance of the engine itself is more than enough for the vehicle itself it'd be a different story if the car actually had some build to it instead of being some kind of simple craft the engines would either not work in it's entirety or would provide push but no kinetic transference
@@netherminer101imma pretend I know what that means
@@therandomtransformersanima6236 in other words there would be something pushing but no movement as the weight would just be to much
Glad your run was safe! Super cool; Thanks for letting us ride with you.
