I was wondering about the top speed when i watched that original vid. Tbh i thought it would be a bit faster, i was able to get to 41mph on my own jet kart with a smaller engine and it was still accelerating, but i got sketched out.
Yeah I think I remember that, I also thought it would have been much faster like over 80 mph. But it was definitely on the balance point and the wind resistance was definitely doing its thing. I think with some more aerodynamics it would have probably done 70 or 75, but honestly if I want to go faster I'll just put more engines hahaha.
I saw a guy who was trying to break the world speed record with a RC car having to do a bunch of things similar to what would hold back the speed from air drag That dudes problem was tires, it’s prob a combination of road type and tires 40 mph with a jet engine is pretty sketchy, idk how the dude did 60 mph in one, I bet a pothole or bump is a nightmare
Many people cannot appreciate what this man builds in his garage. Amazing stuff as always WP! And 50 plus mph is a cart is far faster than most can conceive. That’s smoking.
Thanks! You know what's up. Tbh the disease is very painful at times, making things work well is hard, making things work great is very difficult most times.
Yeah 100%, the amount detail in every little thing he does is crazy. So many other build channels are sketchy as hell and just try to hide it with editing
@@WarpedYT here’s another one for the backlog, completely unrelated to this. I haven’t found a single video on the Internet that shows the output side of a turbo when it’s being run by exhaust of an engine. Like how much air is coming out, and what happens when you start to constrain it with a nozzle? is it a leaf blower? Is it an air compressor, what’s going on there?
@@jcimsThere is a video called "Actual working model of turbo charger" I think it's similar to what your looking for, not exactly but pretty close :)
this man put passion into it without knowing it. add finishing to the chair, wheel balancing and paint the chassis. this is quality workmanship just for a project that he do for youtube
@WarpedPerception damn bro glad you're doing better, I know it's none of my business, but you know what they say curiosity killed the cat, do you mind elaborating a bit on why your injury happend? Did you fall and hit your head or crash or something like that? I really like your channel and can't wait to see future uploads :)
That drag behind the go-cart is also robbing the engine of ram recovery pressure. You need ducts that take the free stream air and direct it to the intake.
i thought it would be sick if adds body panel that shape like a jet with the intake of F35 up infront to channel it to the jet engine. i wonder if it faster like that
That was crazy cool !! If you added aerodynamics of any sort, I'm sure you could increase the top end, but not by much. Not sure I would want to go much faster, without some crash protection, pads, etc., as any failure at these speeds would probably equal a hospital trip. Just a very cool project, all in all, and well done !!
First Time Caller 😂 But just looking at the pictures. Extending the frame just a tad. And putting the outside engines, just so they warm the tires. Yeah, make them individually throttlable. You might get a cart that has an All Weather Capability 😂 ... and Sticky in the Corners 😏 From an old school aerospace guy. That actually worked with that Science Guy. I think his name was Speed Walker 😂 ... memories 👍
Thanks Man! To be honest I really didn't want to do this video, I wanted to go way more extreme, but I had to do it because I was curious and so was everyone else I guess. But the next couple GoKart videos are insane lol. I just don't think I'm going to be able to ride them because I recently had a brain injury.
@@WarpedYTyour fans appreciate having this for comparison before the next generation. Great video… Sorry to hear about the injury… I pray that it’s fully recoverable.
@@WarpedYTwasn't courtesy of one of your projects, was it? You do some outstanding things on this channel. 🤘best wishes on a speedy recovery. Peace, John
Felt like i have been waiting for this video for years now. Lol went to sleep a few time wondering what the top speed was going to be. I fully appreciate thr work you put into this and all you videos.
I know, I'm always super late because I got a million things going on, but recently I sort of become more focused so hopefully I can keep some momentum on some videos here. Thanks!!
4:37 How come the doppler effect doesn’t sound as drastic as something like a siren? Are the acoustics from the jet engine exhaust doing something differently to the air waves?
- improve the aerodynamics with some covers over the frame and the bottom - side skirts for groundeffect - add 2 vertical parallel fins behind (each) jet engine that are controlled via cables and the steering for giving you vector-thrust in tighter turns; if you have oversteer and you need to counter-steer the vector-thrust can help you to get the rear of the go-cart back on track 😉 *Nice project!!!* 😃👍
Thanks I'm trying, it's been so tough, between doing and Mr Beast projects for months on end, and trying to get my stuff together, and then recently getting injured... Always something but I'm definitely going to try to keep momentum here, I love making videos.
@@WarpedYT I'm sure that Mr. Beast project was much more involved than it appears from how we see it through a screen. We know you love making videos! You've got this.
Better aero and an ram air duct for the jet as it gets very little air from being right behind you in the vacuum drag instead of getting some air pressure
That was awesome!! I would love to see you add some aerodynamic additions/changes to see how much faster you can get it to go. I'm guessing if you can get the seat to lay back some, that alone could easily get it over 70. Great job and keep up the great work!!
I just got back to it after almost a year of back to back Mr beast videos and then I had a head injury a couple weeks ago I'm now recovering from ☹️. I literally have like the worst luck
The little kids are always pretty cool, it's the adults I have issues with, I have people that are so mad at me for no reason at all that they don't even talk to me.. dead serious..
I recently had a brain injury, it's been an extremely insanely painful last couple of weeks... When I was in the ER I had a full dose of fentanyl and the pain was still there, But I'm currently recovering and I'm doing pretty good.
These are great, I think you could get more content out of a lot of these builds if you did build videos. I know they take time, but there is so much involved in these and I'm sure we all want to see more!
I have a question that I seriously hope you can answer it for me. I have a aluminum 14’ boat that weighs 1000 pounds with me in it and I installed a 75 hp outboard and doing performance modifications to it and so far I have been able to get almost 50 mph I would like to mount 2 of the jet engines on the rear what do you think and recommend please advise me.
Well I have a friend who has a jet powered pontoon boat, and I can tell you that boats in general have a lot of drag like big time. So you would need something really big not these little jet engines. Personally I would recommend a j79.
Thanks, it was insanely painful for almost 2 weeks straight, I can't explain how intense and unbearable the pain was non-stop continuous. But I actually made it and I'm currently recovering, all I can tell you is a brain injury is no joke, it's really hard for me to explain how you pretty much have no control over what your brain is doing.
@@WarpedYT I'm really sad to hear you had to deal with that and it's effecting you so heavily. If you can find the will to turn it into a positive experience and grow from it, I'm rooting for that. Hang in there brother.
That was very impressive ! I was not expecting that level of speed and performance from only one of those engines. That jet engine packs a punch with out a doubt ! At those speeds with that amount of fuel sloshing around not to mention a smoking hot jet engine, you might want to get a nomex suit or the likes. Just my 2 cents.
I know it's been tough, I was pretty much on schedule last year around this time but then I did a few projects with Mr Beast, I just finished those up in June, then I had to set up all my machines for all of the videos moving forward, then I had a brain injury a few weeks ago. But I'm recovering and back to making videos now. All I really want is a consistent upload schedule but these projects are extremely difficult and my life is insane.
Wow! I think a duct into the jets intake to take advantage of ram air at higher speeds would really help the peak thrust and top speed. Right now the jets intake is in a vaccum region which is fighting performance
That's what u would think but these are turbo jets, They don't pull in as much air as you would expect, most of the power from these engines comes from the fuel, If they don't get enough air they stall, that's pretty much it. I do however wonder if an air intake would increase the efficiency. See because no matter what these engines are RPM based, they're going to dump fuel until they reach the target RPM or stall in the case of not getting enough air. I'm definitely going to experiment with that
Man, you do great work. A lot of very different skills. I was impressed just by the wrapping of the steering wheel lol. Some would make a video just of that, for you, its just a 5 second time lapse shot (which is cool too). I can appreciate the time it takes to make custom stuff like that. Let alone the one off cnc parts, anodizing, building/programming electronics, etc.. Happy i found this channel. You could probably make a separate channel just for 'behind the scenes' from leftover footage that gets cut/glossed over during a project like this.
Amazing engineering effort indeed! However, for comparison - a standard 125cc racing kart (such as Vortex Rok) gets up to 60 in 5 seconds and tops out - depending on gear ratio at around 80 mph. And oh boy, it can turn! So if someone proposes competition - stay away :) Also, your tires might actually be wet weather tires, as for a dry track karts use slicks only. Bridgestone slicks will certainly provide a lot of grip - and they don't wear too fast. I used to race karts professionally and I love this jet kart - awesome job man!
Thanks, I've been really tied up for the last year working on Mr Beast project, but as of July I'm back on my stuff, A few weeks ago I got sidetracked with an injury but I'm recovering now...it was insanely painful.
Yeah I think it's because these go-kart frames came with an engine on the side, I thought the same thing and in the next video I relocate everything but yeah it's sort of weird.
@@WarpedYTthat makes sense… current setup looks like weight distribution would favor left turns. Wonder if this contributed to the slipperiness you experienced
I also wonder if the seat restricts the jets intake flow rate. Mounting bracket may need extending or possibly a ram air scoop. Raising the jet would result in excess down force to the front wheels.
I love it. Very NICE. Just watching. this was a great learning experience for me. Can't wait for the three engine model. Almost 3 times faster ? Thanks
Thanks, A lot of people ask me in the comments, and I was personally curious so it had to be done, I was supposed to have the next video out already but I had a brain injury a few weeks ago, it was hell no joke I can't even explain how intense the pain was for a week and a half straight non-stop no break, it was insane, but I'm back at it now
Pretty crazy setup specially with all that fuel and stuff in front of you. Just glad you didn't hurt yourself doing this. The sort of thing you should be doing at a racetrack with flame proof suits not on a back street somewhere. Anyway, good to see you survived it OK.
Growing up next to an 8 mile long dry lake bed. trying to find places to go fast was never a thing I worried about. although I never had a jet powered go cart😂 but I did do some land yachting which you need good flat open areas to get some good speed
If i ever did a channel, it would like this one! This dude is low-key, very intelligent, and down to earth at the same time. I my idea for a channel is turbo everything or muti engine everything. Junk cars, rc cars, go carts, lawn mowers, tunners, muscle..etc then compare them to a modern fast or super cars..
Thank you! I had no friends growing up so it's bitter sweet. I love multi engine setups, I saw a dual engine Hyundai one time, can't remember what model but it even had two transmissions and the guy would put one in drive and one in reverse and do four-wheel donuts.
I definitely feels like it was 86 years ago, unfortunately I had an brain injury which was no fun but I'm recovering and I'm back making videos thank God..
I'd love to see if the single jet makes much more top speed with some ducts feeding it air. It seems like as the speed increases, inlet pressure would be dropping. It's possible the added drag ends up equaling the improved thrust, but it'd be interesting to see especially because it looks like when you have 3 jets there will be 2 operating in clean air
Well these are turbo jets, they don't really benefit from ram Air too much. With turbo jets if there's not enough air flow or the air pressure in front of the intake is too low then the engine will stall. The speed here is too low I would think maybe over 150 or 200 mph there might be enough of a low pressure zone behind the seat to reduce the amount of air to a point where it could cause problems, these engines get most of their thrust from burning fuel And they are RPM based, So the computer will inject fuel to get to the Target RPM. As for the 3 jets I am building a completely different setup for that.
So whats the date for the Land Speed Record attempt ? I think the Jet would benefit from some inlet ducting. Some 4x4's have one or two air intake "snorkels" that come up from the engine bay attached to the A pillar...
I was wondering about the top speed when i watched that original vid. Tbh i thought it would be a bit faster, i was able to get to 41mph on my own jet kart with a smaller engine and it was still accelerating, but i got sketched out.

Yeah exactly, I completely agree.
If he added some aero it could be a fighter jet.
Now he's at 50mph the jet behind the seat will start to suffer reduced intake due to a low pressure region forming.
To be fair, I think there could've been a noticeable difference even if he had just tucked down.
@@yuvix I agree, but My solution would just be add more engines lol

It needs an air duct for high speed, they really need a lot of fresh air at high rpm and its probably not getting enough that close to the seat.

Yeah I think it's because these go-kart frames came with an engine on the side, I thought the same thing and in the next video I relocate everything but yeah it's sort of weird.
@@WarpedYTthat makes sense… current setup looks like weight distribution would favor left turns. Wonder if this contributed to the slipperiness you experienced
I also wonder if the seat restricts the jets intake flow rate. Mounting bracket may need extending or possibly a ram air scoop. Raising the jet would result in excess down force to the front wheels.
Need to do a twin jet setup next! Can’t wait to see the top speed on that!
I love it. Very NICE. Just watching. this was a great learning experience for me.
Can't wait for the three engine model. Almost 3 times faster ? Thanks
Hella dope af, but U gotta get more jets on that thing bro. My modified 212cc predator engine from harbor freight makes my go kart go faster than that
Yeah with three it's going to be insane no doubt.
Awesome so glad you did a top speed because I was wondering what its top speed was, thanks for doing the top speed!!!
Thanks, A lot of people ask me in the comments, and I was personally curious so it had to be done, I was supposed to have the next video out already but I had a brain injury a few weeks ago, it was hell no joke I can't even explain how intense the pain was for a week and a half straight non-stop no break, it was insane, but I'm back at it now
Nobody does it quite like you. Well done.
Pretty crazy setup specially with all that fuel and stuff in front of you.
Just glad you didn't hurt yourself doing this. The sort of thing you should be doing at a racetrack with flame proof suits not on a back street somewhere.
Anyway, good to see you survived it OK.
Growing up next to an 8 mile long dry lake bed. trying to find places to go fast was never a thing I worried about. although
I never had a jet powered go cart😂 but I did do some land yachting which you need good flat open areas to get some good speed
That sounds pretty amazing
Still working on that see through jet engine?
No but I have some more coming out soon.
@@WarpedYT awesome -thanks for replying. Also, I just saw your video with Donut -thanks for helping them out. 💯
Man this is such a nice video! So much progress and perfectly created with no drag or delay to make the video longer! PERFECT!
Thanks I appreciate that, sometimes I wonder whether I should make the videos longer and more dragged out .
If i ever did a channel, it would like this one! This dude is low-key, very intelligent, and down to earth at the same time.
I my idea for a channel is turbo everything or muti engine everything. Junk cars, rc cars, go carts, lawn mowers, tunners, muscle..etc then compare them to a modern fast or super cars..
Thank you! I had no friends growing up so it's bitter sweet. I love multi engine setups, I saw a dual engine Hyundai one time, can't remember what model but it even had two transmissions and the guy would put one in drive and one in reverse and do four-wheel donuts.
Amazing and really cool kart! I can't wait to see whats next .Thanks for posting this .
If you mount another one or two jets on there, it might be good to add a spoiler front and back to get some downforce to make the tyres stick better?
am glad for being one of the few first subscribers of this chanel 👅
Man this guy can do anything
That was baddass👍made me nervous watching!
Can't wait to see more jets added to this unit
Your knowledge and skills are next level
Thank you
Talk about a jack of all trades
One bad ass video loved the sound 👍🏻
You are amazingly skilled
Brilliant ,and the bonus you even explain the thrust drag stuff so simply Great video . Vetri South Africa 🙏🇿🇦🙏
New tires are still coated in mold release from factory. Never seen pavement, and have no micro abrasions on the contact patch.
it's been a long time I was waiting for this new video, it looks the last one was 86 years ago
I definitely feels like it was 86 years ago, unfortunately I had an brain injury which was no fun but I'm recovering and I'm back making videos thank God..
What a fantastic video. Love your stuff..
Thank you
That looks like so much fun!
Awesome mate!! Very quick. To decrease drag, enclose the front.
I'd love to see if the single jet makes much more top speed with some ducts feeding it air. It seems like as the speed increases, inlet pressure would be dropping. It's possible the added drag ends up equaling the improved thrust, but it'd be interesting to see especially because it looks like when you have 3 jets there will be 2 operating in clean air
Well these are turbo jets, they don't really benefit from ram Air too much. With turbo jets if there's not enough air flow or the air pressure in front of the intake is too low then the engine will stall. The speed here is too low I would think maybe over 150 or 200 mph there might be enough of a low pressure zone behind the seat to reduce the amount of air to a point where it could cause problems, these engines get most of their thrust from burning fuel And they are RPM based, So the computer will inject fuel to get to the Target RPM. As for the 3 jets I am building a completely different setup for that.
So whats the date for the Land Speed Record attempt ?
I think the Jet would benefit from some inlet ducting. Some 4x4's have one or two air intake "snorkels" that come up from the engine bay attached to the A pillar...
Time to put 2 more on that bad boy!!
