Some Swedish guys with too much time on their hands build a pulse jet ice boat that belches flames and sounds like a V-1 buzz bomb.

Video Here.

I’d call it a pulse jet ice sled, because I’ll be it doesn’t float at all.

Jet engine. Check.

No brakes. Check.

Drunken Swedish men. Check.

They seem good to go to me.

A lot, but I'd still love to try it.

Lol! No kidding, 120 lbs of propane, high speed, red-hot pipe, no roll cage, possibility of plunging into a thawed out hole in the lake. The list goes on. But what a blast to do (no pun intended)!

It’s got a brake. They release it just before they get going...

I can’t believe Kimi Raikkonen isn’t somewhere, lurking in a guerrilla suit: ‘You did not see me in a pulse jevt ivce boat.’

Wowser!

I especially liked the part where the one guy was standing downwind of the exhaust whilst lighting it. He got flamed not once, but twice!

And by the looks of what happened when the tank got turned on its side, it looks like they were feeding it liquid propane, not the vaporized stuff that boils off at the top of a pressurized tank.

Swedish OSHA would not be amused

The Swedish Agency for Work Environment Expertise - Mynak, is the Swedish national focal point for the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work on behalf of the Swedish Government and Parliament since 2019

Just install a string and dongle, like an exercise treadmill, attach it to your body.

A simple engine cutoff does not require a deep State Department of Regulation.

I’m actually impressed with this. It starts easier than most pulse jets, it looks like it was up to about 60, and it vibrates as good as a hot big block with solid motor mounts.
