Jet Powered Tesla
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- I Mount 3 jet engines to my Tesla Model S to make the world's first Tesla with Jet Thrusters, I call it the Jet-Powered Tesla as I do in fact drive it under only jet power.
This build was extremely in-depth, I listened to what everyone was asking for in the past videos and I built almost every single part from the ground up, I counted over 200 parts in total.
The next project I'm going to be doing with this car is going to be even more extreme.
Not only did I make over 200 parts but I also had 88 folders full of video footage because the build took about 42 days total and my schedule was heavily affected by raw material shortages.
All the machines and equipment I use are on my Website: www.ShopWarpedPerception.com
But I do have a lot of other footage and cool videos that I took while filming this episode, I'm going to be posting them on my second Channel called "Unthinkable" Here's a link to that channel / @warpedlab and I will have the first jet-powered Tesla-related videos uploaded shortly after this one posts.
Thanks for watching and thanks for everybody's support!!
I'm gearing up to make more intense episodes so look out for those.

I connect with this on a spiritual level. Awesome Job Matt! See you shortly 👀
I know you love electric and I also know you love diesel fuel hahahaha! For sure we have to get in the kitchen together soon and cook something up.
Why?
He didn't click bait anyone with a fog machine.
The elusive cliff hanger from Rich rebuilds, I want to see the video collaboration!
@@Questchaun can't tell if the fog machine is his "assistant" or if there was a video with an actual fog machine. 😂
@@admiralthex when rich first started his RUclips account
He used a fog machine to pretend his flooded Tesla caught fire.
To me a slimy way to get views.
I'll never forget hanging out in my condo on Chicago ave and hearing what sounded like an airplane taking off on the street. I looked out the window and saw a Tesla with three jet engines strapped to the back. I finally found this video, you are incredible!
Thanks ! What hood you live in ?
@@WarpedYT West Town near Chicago and Wolcott!
@@kylevanderaa1229 lol! That's more of the hood than where I filmed this for sure! Thanks for the enthusiasm!
I was wondering what it's like to be this guys neighbor lol
Nice
holy s**t, the level of production is CRAZY. I was literally hypnotized when watching the construction part... 0_0
Thank you! 🤩. That means a lot, to add it is hard enough to separate yourself from the project so you can see what others are going to see when they watch your video when you make it is a completely different challenge, sometimes you get it right sometimes you miss the mark..
I am very impressed by how you took one of the most silent cars in the world and made it one of the loudest! Genious! :-)
ONE of the loudest?? haha
Right.
I just want to take a moment to show some appreciation, no, admiration for all the skills needed to so this. A person could make a good life off of having just one of 2 of the skills or areas of expertise to make all this happen. You've got them all wrapped up in one guy. I feel like I need to step up my game as a man.
- Electronics, embedded systems
- Programming
- CAD (Computer Aided Design)
- CAM (Computer Aided Machining)
- Welding, Aluminum welding? You know how seriously hard that is? I've never been able to master it.
- Knowledge of fluid dynamics (Air Flow)
- Knowledge of Thermodynamics, Jet engine life cycle.
- Creativity, look at all the problems that had to be overcome to make this not be a complete disaster!
I'm just speechless. What an inspiration.
However, the engine mounts are not at all similar to those that could withstand a thrust of several hundred kilograms. It is unlikely that the car in the video was driving only on their traction
Being a mechanical engineer for two decades now (and tinkerer to some extent), I can appreciate how much effort that went into making this video. Just awesome!!
so that tesla is no long zero emissions haha
Having gone 53 mph on a radio flyer wagon with one of these strapped to the bottom, I know how insane it is to hear them fire up! Loved the detail in your control system, really well thought out and executed.
Hahaha... I'll have to look that video up, 53 mph on a wagon man... Hall of a rush I'm sure. Thanks
I just checked out that video, dude you guys should have totally called me up.. and you bought a king tech Engine oh man.. 🤦♂️🤦♂️.
@@WarpedYT I'm sure we would've benefited from your expertise! If I were to buy my own engine, what would you recommend?
I can DM you, the ones I have 2 suppliers, problem is their a pain in the butt to get.. but I know King tech well and well that's all I'll say about that.
@@WarpedYT that would be most appreciated, you can use the email in my "about" section, or I can send you an email if that's easier
Absolutely EPIC!! Looking forward to more videos on the Tesla with jet thrusters!
It’s my most fav RUclips video now
Thank you !! Yes I have a few more on the way .
Always makes me smile when I see PF in WP comments and vice versa, love both of your videos. Keep it up!
An endorsement from Project Farm is quite the honour!
You could make a jet powered lawn mower!
Very interesting rig up. In order to prevent the engine 'flaming out' you need to prevent inducing stalling (or surge) on the jet engine's compressor. Right behind the car, the negative pressure or air flow separation off of the trunk lid is cutting the air mass-in via tangential intake of air into the engine. Check the jet engine's compressor stall curve and see how much air should be supplied AXIALLY. Again, congratulation on your successful 'take off'
Plenty of air, engines ran out of fuel.
Sometimes I think I have too many tools but then I see someone like this looney tune and a solitary tear rolls down my cheek. This was a beautiful thing to behold. Shot very creatively too.
Haha... Thanks
To, all I have is a 3 in 1 screwdriver...haha
@@WarpedYT I would love to pay you for your plans ? How do I get those ?
The fact that you made it all look so clean, even in the interior, is a statement to the quality work you do!
This video showed a complete disregard for highway safety. I love it
Yea i was like what happens if it breaks or flies off or someone gets too close. Seems reckless tbh

This is a great way to discourage tailgating. I'm all for it!
That one SUV saw the flames and slowed down real quick lol.
That build montage was "Chefs Kiss." You used so many techniques I've never even thought of. Like 3D printing directly on a piece and clear coating it in? That's genius. I cant wait to see what other build montages you come up with. Thanks!
Oh and your music and sound effects are perfect
This guy can do everything, weld, code, wiring, CAD, I'm probably missing some
Man's a talent bank
Im new here but he sounds like hes one of those rich youtuber/influencers but on the geeky side of youtube and without the snarkiness and douchebagginess
and also fluid analysis knowledge
Design. he knows how to fucking design jet engines - and their interface - my brother designs and builds some crazy shit but not like this guy
common sense...he has none
What a massively talented, skilled and ingenious bloke.
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen! Can't wait to go for a ride!
Got here from your link. Thanks. This was awesome
A Tesla for the Eisenhower!
Thank you, absolutely, version 2 is going to be much better!
That would be a cool Chicagoland collaboration.
In the near 2030's people will be like, man did you see that Tesla he just rolled cold gas thrusters on me LOL
You have fulfilled every kid's dream: a jet powered rocket car! Well done Matt!! 🎉👏🔥
Matt must have talked to Robert Lazar, and then worked on this one! (Look into Bob Lazar), he would love this car!
Kids think of rocket powered cars Chad's think of rocket powered sport bikes. 🤘
You took the works the out of my mouth :)
That's if it worked because does jet engines are doing nothing to push the car he is just using the normal motor...
Can we just admire how the jet engines at full speed sound like they are sharting the entire time. It’s so beautiful I might cry.
Always wanted to know what is sharting
@@fourdaydownload6099 It’s when u fart and poop comes out.

"Yes, I 3D-printed it from feed-stock myself."
As a kid, I was mesmerized by the idea that a jet engine exists that I could hold in my hand. I always wanted to see them used for a purpose other than watching the shadow of a really cool looking RC plane doing fly-bys for 20 minutes. This is something I didn't know I needed and by far the coolest use I've seen for these other than the guy who used them to fly with what was essentially a jet pack. Great job man and I can't want for the next one. This is probably about to be famous.
Feel the same way. I remember drawing Jet cars all the time as a kid. This really is a dream come true to see some someone do it. A dream that is now a reality.
One of the best days ever!
If you have designed this much so far, you can design a cap that covers the front to go up and down so that you can mount the engines a little bit higher and get frame support from the hood as well as ram Air. I love your episodes and I aspire to be like you, someone with ideas and dreams, knowledge, skills and money to make it all happen. I really got tickled when you didn't let the truck roll call on you lol love it
Just the fact you took this on the roads is mad, in New Zealand you would get the military on you for an act like this.
Hes in a third world city
All 60 members of the armed forces
Do You actually live in New Zealand ?
Are You actually aware of the Authoritarian Laws there or are You exaggerating them as well ?

@@newtonfirefly3584 NZ like AUS has strict road laws. Pulled over for loud exhausts, low cars, window tint, mods that aren't done by mechanics can get you stickered etc.
Matt R just enjoy da vid lol
my man this is some serious mechatronics engineering holy cow, industrial IT, Arduino in a jet engine, 3D design and mechanical manufacturing, you got some real skills , Absolutely EPIC ! keep up the good work
yea exactly
Thank You!!
Put this setup on Brooks plaid and let him run some consistent tests on a dragstrip and see how much it shaves of his times :)
I don't know who Brooks is but I'ma look it up. I ordered a plaid like a year ago but cancelled because of the yolk, I will order one when the come with a steering wheel and stalks... Or swap my body on one. But the 0-60 isn't that much different, big difference over 70mph tho.
@@WarpedYT Brooks is the guy that has the ‘Dragtimes’ channel ;)
@@WarpedYT It's possible to retrofit a Model 3 steering wheel and stalks to a Plaid. Some guy on RUclips did that already
This is great engineering! Do you have a team or work alone?
@@WarpedYT you would really avoid a car because of the steering wheel 🤦♂️. Consensus is you get used to it quickly and actually like it.
You're the greatest! I love the spit 8MM socket at 6:27! Thank you for doing these! I'm a disabled Vietnam Vet that can't do these things anymore but it's like I'm doing them with you. All the frustrations included with all the success! God Bless you!
Thank you! I saw that during the edit and I was wondering who was going to call that out, I didn't notice that when I was building it. Thanks for watching my videos and thanks for your service!! 🇺🇸
Wow. Love the Control Panel, looks very professional.
Thank you
This guy is so damn admirable. A true engineer. Wow.
my dream is to be an engineer who is interested, devoted and inspired, basically an engineer like you, good job sir!
Thank you
From an engineer to other I take my hat off this video it's absolutly nuts keep working men
Thank you man, you know engineers keep the world turning!
from another engineer i believe this could have been better with different mounts rather than behind which either sides or top of the car for proper air compression in turbines bad english for that i am sorry
is it legal ?
in america ?
@@WarpedYT i dont mean insult it is still very good design because atleast you have done it i dont know thrust of jets still lot of respect ,
@@ghostofwolverine6065 Yes but then you are creating a lever between the point of thrust and the mass of the vehicle, increasing the mechanical requirements of the mounting structure. Also, let's say you put the engine above the car and the attachment breaks, it may injure the passengers in the car.
For a demonstrative video, I think this is the correct design to minimize risk, mechanical requirements, and complexity.
Thats the coolest thing ive seen on RUclips this year! Finally a tesla i can appreciate 😂
All Tesla's are appreciated, fool.
@@InSaN3ViSioN maybe by you and others. Im not that fond of them myself.
This is right under the V8 Tesla made by Rich
Thanks man !!!
@@InSaN3ViSioN well right now I'm on my way to PRI show in Indianapolis, when I left my studio my car said I would arrive with 4% battery remaining, I got 20 minutes away and it dropped to -34%, now I'm sitting here charging for about 2 hours.. I'm not appreciating the Tesla at this moment
the idea , time and effort spending is very valuable for study, it give a brain storm as well, I would give a thumb up. this should sit into courses for engineering faculty in universities.
It always blows my mind just what people are capable of creating with such astounding attention to detail!!! This was one of the coolest videos I have ever watched when you think about the work put in 🤯
It would be cool to make the engine bracket able to start in that position, then once engines are running you could throw a switch & have the engine come Up & into the Airstream
I was thinking about this but the subframe that I built to hold the jet engines is sort of like a giant lever, as I bring those engines higher further away from the fulcrum point I need even more reinforcements, and because of the material shortages even this setup was weaker than I wanted it... For someone that builds stuff material shortages are the worst thing very frustrating but what can we do.
YOU HAVE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO. SPOT-ON.
@@WarpedYT yeah, I was thinking the same, people don't realize that the jet mount like that is a giant lever, the further the distance bring the thrust from the fulcrum, the more that force is multiplied at the fulcrum. The amount of extra reinforcing required just to raise the turbines by a foot would have been extraordinary, probably would have had no choice but to go through the trunk and bumper with additional tubing, also complicating any mechanism for raising and lowering the turbines up and down going in and out of the airstream.
Amazing build Matt, I know that you only showed maybe 1% of what went into this, extraordinary!
@@WarpedYT This was such a fun video. Maybe a movable air diverter that can guide air toward the jet intakes when you want to run them at full thrust?
Agreed. Ram air is awesome even if you don't get much from it. He could also put cones on the front to scoop larger volumes of air. Or how about one feeding a giant turbo to the other two?
I love the way you apologise about not having the materials available due to supply shortages... so I built it what I had around. It kind of reminded me of when Doc Brown apologises to Marty about not having time to pain his entire model of Hill valley. Amazing skills and love how everything you have done is neat and tidy - even taking time over the in-car controls. Top job!
Ha! Thanks !! Yeah I forgot about that part in the movie.
This is the 1st video i have ever seen a gadget made from scratch.
That build was amazing.
As a machinist/toolmaker for 50 years, I really appreciate/enjoy watching your work. Kind of spooky watching the see-thru engine though. I was waiting for a catastrophic fail, sending shrapnel all over your garage. Worked well. Lexan body? Carry on dude.
Surely not Lexan at those temps. Must be glass.
He commented on another video it’s some proprietary material he developed
After watching this I'm impressed that you... Don't have a press-break (for your hydraulic press) or a hossfeld bender, you've got practically every other tool. You could even make them with the tools you have.
Seriously an amazing job on this.
How can anyone possess such fabrication skill is beyond me this is true engineering man not the bs we mostly learn at the uni.
Man, I'm very impressed how this engines that might have a low compression rate can put a heavy car at 60mph
Well they might have low compression but they move a ton of air/fuel.. like a turbocharged piston engine with low compression does. A jet engines power to weight ratio is unmatched. Not really surprising..
@@TTime685 makes sense... There are a lot of Otto turbocharged engines that have low compression and brings a good performance.
@@TTime685 however, the thermodynamic efficiency of these engines seems to be complete crap. 2 gallons per minute at 60 mph, that’s 0.5 mpg.
@@boxr_4214 That's jet power for ya
@@boxr_4214 thats for the whole setup tho
I am amazed. I had no idea engines that small could produce that kind of thrust.
that small turbine cam push a 1.5 tons car? wtf
They don't.
They can if you have like 5 or 7 and it will move it.
Also cars do not weigh a “ton”.
@@nekopop8159 Correct, the Tesla Model 3 weighs 3,949 lbs, which is 2 tons. That being said, you would not need 3,949 lbs of thrust to move a Tesla Model 3 on its wheels, but you'd certainly need more than ~100 lbs, which is a rough estimate of the thrust shown in this video.
@@basic-decaf Whoa Tesla cars weigh that much?! Compared to normal cars which they are so much lighter.
I guess I didn’t do my research on the Tesla’s weight because I assume they weigh as much as gas cars do, wow that battery weighs like a whopping thousand pounds.
I mean this sincerely, you have one of the best RUclips channels there are or ever were. You’re answering all the questions we always ask ourselves at 3am when we can’t sleep. This is top tier content my man. Hope we’ll someday get to to see that see-through Diesel engine.
Okay so, the center of thrust is above the vehicle's center of gravity, using the mount as a lever to lift the rear end. Also the Jets intakes are placed in the most turbulent negative pressure Zone you could find on a vehicle.
Lower the Jets to the Centerline of the vehicles hubs, and ram and/or scoop the air from under the vehicle into the Jets(obviously some caution will be needed to prevent the ingestion of foreign objects). Also adjust the Jets angle of attack to -1 or -2 degrees so they press the rear axle into the ground.
Let me just tell you how proud I am to find a man that created a method to make electric cars burn fossil fuels. Well, aside from the ones burned to provide the electricity for people to charge their electric cars.
And, is there a 0 to 60 run with just jetpower only? It helps with establishing Baseline performance of the Jets alone.
This would be super cool to see in a wind tunnel.
The production lvl with the water jet and 3d printer is amazing. Everything looks so sick
Thank you
This is the best 30 minutes I've spent on the internet in the last year.
I tinker all the time but even if I had your great workshop I would never have thought of this idea.
keep up the great work!
Thanks!!
I cannot believe how much air those 3 engines move, they will surely give you a boost on the highway.
Again the placement of the engines is in the line of CG which is good but the intake should have like a snorkel to get adequate air, since the aerodynamics of the car body will not let enough air to go through and that is why one of the engines gave away.
These Jet engines need to be fed with clean & undisturbed high speed air to work efficiently. Mounting them there might look cool but behind the car they wont ever create high thrust. Just some feedback from a aerospace engineer. Keep it up.
He mentions the thrust loss in the video
Just behind the spoiler shut be pretty good...
They wont deliver 'high thrust' no matter where you place them. They are ment for model airplanes weighting up to like 25kg. Those 3 jets combined maybe make 50kg of trust. Which is nothing on a lead tesla.
@@derwissenskiosk8041 not really
@@janklas7079 I disagree they have combined around 100kg of force they should push pretty good. They have not that much thrust to acselerate but they push with 100kg constantly at any speed.... The Tesla rolls easly and is quite aerodymic... I have nou doubt about the results he is getting.
The kerosene hose is short to prevent you from fueling a diesel road vehicle with it. In very cold weather you would cut diesel fuel with Kerosene to lower the pour point and prevent gelling in the fuel filter. I used to keep an empty fuel can in my old Mercedes so I could fuel with Kero. The real issue is it's untaxed.
Interesting didn't know that trick thankyou
You possess some serious skills. Watching the quality of your fabrication, assembly, and electronic skills in action is a joy to watch!
I know someone like that so much jealously

Maybe a warped perception but the execution is supreme... a joy to watch!
Probably one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. The skill and craftsmanship to build this is top tier.
Always impressed with those who have creative minds and engineering ability to accomplish such builds. Respect!
an money
I love it, it’s way cool but I’m afraid it is an example of more money than brains.
You sir, are a legitimate modern day renaissance man. I usually would hav just jumped to the end but you actually did all that design and fab your self so I watched the whole thing. RESPECT 🙏
I've said it before and I'll say it again; it's not what you can buy, but what what you can build 🤘
@Spencer Kelly Built over Bought everytime
Waw hes that good he promgramed a flupping fuel display chip and codeing witch is no joke im realy really impressed 😮😮😮❤❤
If you could mechanically raise and lower the turbines into and out of the neutral air zone that could add more boost and save your turbine bearings from wearing out. Great job like always though.
If you're just worried about the bearings, you could add a system that covers the front part when not in use.
Wrong. These engines are tested on a test stand with zero movement and the larger two produce 67 Lbs of thrust each.
@@jeffjackson6358 yh but even when they’re stationary, air isn’t hard to find, it’s literally plenty around still. Behind a fast ish moving car, it’s thin. I don’t know if you know about slipstreams and towing when it comes to racing, but in the wake of fast moving cars, the air immediately behind tgem is thinner, giving less resistance to trailing cars, thus making them need less fuel to maintain speed, as well as an acceleration advantage for easy overtakes, hence the term slipstream. Like the original comment said, I still feel like if it was raised from an air neutral zone, it would ge more powerful
Best sounding Tesla EVER!! Certainly the coolest video I've seen in a while, BY FAR!
DIY: Use the linear pots just with a knob on them as they are.
Engineer: Builds a giant throttle lever like the ones in a plane, with totally obersized pushrods. :)
That'd be shut
Run the engines from battery! Here's how if these assumptions work out (or can work out with a some engineering): 1. Will the turbines run on H2 (or Brown's gas)? 2. How many kW do you need to put through water in electrolysis to feed them continuously? 3. Can the Tesla provide those kW's? 4. Create an awesome H2-powered Jet Tesla video if you can do it!
You honestly do some of the highest quality work I've seen on RUclips with your builds. It's like Hacksmith/Mark Rober but less gimmicky.
More like what an engineer actually does in a company
awesome , shocking how much thrust these small turbines produce. must have some small brushless starters on these engines. this is the most incredible thing ive seen on youtube in a while;..
Starters are brushed
@@peterzingler6221 very interesting
Amazing, not sure why no one is praising your for the amount of knowledge and aptitude it takes to do a project like this!!!! Sir hats off to you this is extremely amazing
Bro.. seriously? Jet engines need a lot of AIR flux.. he put them on the back... there is no air flux.. the jet intakes got a lot of turbulence and they are useless...
i doubt you know what it takes, A person Without knowledge of Integration will be amazed to see me Find the area of a random looking shape, Thats what just happened with you.
@@lorentiobrodesco9741 Watch 19:40
Nice DOT regs fuel tank. I noticed the Center one flame-out right away.
An enormous amount of work and time for negligible and impractical thrust, but it is novel for sure.
IF YOU RUN OUT OF ELECTRICITY FIRE UP THE ENGINES. BACKUP. SPOT-ON.
It's a start... More reinforcing, upgrade the middle engine to match the two end engines, maybe upgrade all three in the future. It would be more impressive on a lighter gas powered 2wd car that normally struggles with traction, the fact that it helps at all on one of the quickest performing 0-60 production cars in history shows that it's a serious kit.
If Matt could ever upgrade this to double or triple the thrust over time, the performance would be much more impressive on a P85
Impractical? Absolutely. Fun and cool as hell? Also absolutely!
@@horhaygonzalas3025 that would be a great test. How much battery regen did the jets give him.
It always blows my mind how powerful jet engines are. When I’m on a plane and it takes off, I’m just mesmerized by the power.
Considering his are miniature and the ones on planes are massive in comparison... yes, they are QUITE powerful. Especially the difference between a dual and quad engine plane (dual for same coast or close flights and quad for cross country or over seas). I love the quad engines. Feeling all 4 engines spool up and then ramp up for full power for take-off is awesome.
Very impressed with the entire project. I worked on jet engines for three years and we used water mist to increase thrust to check some limits. I flew a 777 and I like your throttle setup. Say the state took my vanity plate away but you still have one. Sweet. Who do you know? Keep up the great work
u pilot/
Jet engines work by sucking air into the front of the engine using a fan. From there, the engine compresses the air, mixes fuel with it, ignites the fuel/air mixture, and shoots it out the back of the engine, creating thrust, without enough air going in there would not be enough thrust to push the car .
please make a mounting system that mechanically moves the jet engines from outside to into the wind stream while you are driving. just imagine three engines folding up and out as they start up... it would be glorious! nice work
some turbos or compressor fans and better fuel air mix on the ecus . ridiculous machine anyway. love the idea
Awesome idea 👍
Consider the onroad heart attacks or wrecks when folks see the three CANNONS unfolding and aiming back at them!
@@garychandler4296 Well Said. I must insist that the cool factor well overshodows the risk..:)
@@jacobguymon8364 Ya, I'd have that just for the tailgators!
This is amazing. U could get that extra 30 pounds of thrust with ram Air and still not have the jets spinning when they're turned if u could raise them above the spoiler with a hydraulic mount once they're turned on. Or u could have vents that open and close directing air to them
vent idea sounds perfect wouldn't be too heavy too
Great job! Incredible amount of work. Hate to be sitting behind you at a traffic light. LOL
ひとづましばりびでお
It’s crazy I was literally right behind this guy at a light and was so surprised that I actually saw a jet powered tesla, good thing he didn’t shoot any flames at me lmao
Could that be the reason that guy cut him off in traffic? Hmm I imagine it doesn’t smell right to be behind a Tesla with jet exhaust.
@@jimgordon3206 he didn’t have them on at all so I didn’t smell anything but I could definitely see why someone wouldn’t want to be behind him 😂
@@rawzko7920 cap
The best part for me was in the second attempt, when the jets were at full thrust, you see the jet mounts under tension, and as you began accelerating, the mounts sprang back.
The low light gave the extra cool effect looking at the jet exhaust.
The wheels were spinning cause the weight of the car was being lifted off from the pavement by the jets; you may angle the jets a degree or so down to keep traction on the wheels.
Looking forward to the next run.
the amount of work, planning and expertise needed to create and make this is insane. Serious engineering and electronic skills are mindblowing to behold!🤯 amazing video and incredible work good sir!!!
Yup, salute to this man for real 👏
Yep 👏👏
It would be a brave/confident person who questioned you on the engine mounting, you don't strike me as the type to leave things to chance! GREAT video!
Thanks... No I'm not, I fully tested the structure to 500lb and ran various stress models in cad.
I’ve seen a lot of builds but a quick jet conversion that’s badass. Screw a turbo when you can have a damn jet engine strapped to the back.
if sombody hasnt mentioned it yet but that custom dash you made, i rekon even elon would be impressed with that!
Brilliant engineering. When something you build works almost perfectly the first time, you know you did it right. That's a nice feeling that few other things can match.
The real question here :How fast is it, and at what cost ?
But util then .....Will it catch fire ?
This was amazing!!! Love your fab skills. Good welding too! I'd love to see a 0-60 with just jet power and also a top speed run with all three engines running! Can't wait to see the new 0-60 video when it's dry.
This mans engineering skills are barnone, incredible perfection
How can this channel be doing everything and doesn't have many may subscribers.? This guy masters many fields...he is a true legend engineer.
I haven't even finished the video yet and this is insane!
Can't even imagine how much money he has spent on all his tools, machines, computers, etc...
Considering he said he was trying to buy a plaid (which is north of $140k depending on what you get for the package), I'd say he has the money.
A Tesla with Jet engines on a street. Only possible in America...
I'm betting the drag coefficient is lowered significantly by adding all that airflow into the dead zone, greatly reducing the normal suction of the air coming back together around the back of the car. The increase in performance at speed will tell the tale, he already knows the static thrust generated by the engines, so if the performance increase is greater, it's the reduction in drag.
It would be awesome to see a wind tunnel test with the jet exhaust on vs. off.
I had thought about that.. when the engines were idling while starting them up and the car was in drive cruising about 70 mph, there was significantly less drag, there is a consumption meter on the dash that shows how much power is going to the wheels at any given time usually it's about 30 to 40,000 w cruising at 70 mph, when the engines were idling it was about 10 to 15,000 Watts... Very interesting, additionally I was thinking when I was designing it that making a sort of dovetail to bring air into the engines from the back of the car would definitely get rid of that whole dead zone and the drag coefficient would drop quite a bit
Can I strap this to my wife?
the irony of a car that is meant to be anti fossil fuel being turned into a fossil fueled car is so classic
Good Job.
Would be cool to see what the 0 to 60 time is on the jet engines alone! Those little hobby jets are amazing.
12 years
It will run out of fuel before it reaches 60
about the same time of a regular car
I still say he should have used the same size rocket that Wilely Coyote straps on to cathg the road runner.
...... Meeeep meeeep 💨
@@mason2699 I don't care, just try it for fun!!!!!
The engineering requirements for this project are beyond impressive!
That’s exactly what a Tesla needs, especially when the battery gets to low.
Just throw a few raptor 2 engines on it
@@FerociousPancake888 nothing a turbofan can't fix.
too*
A Jerry can and a Jet engine in the trunk, just in case you are out of battery and stuck in middle of nowhere.
You should be on Jay Leno's Garage. I can see Jay wanting to drive this car. This reminds me of when Tony Stark built his suit in a cave. I guess this voids the Tesla Warranty.
I recommend taking it to a dragstrip to test its full potential.
Well now people cant complain electric cars are silent, Imagine tryign to catch up to this car and jet enngine exhaust pushing you back
I am in awe, your work is flawless. I can't fathom the amount of time put into every aspect, including how well your videos turn out. What you do is very inspiring and definately entertaining. Just my two cents, but mate, just wow!
Thanks! I appreciate that
You and I live very close to each other. crazy to see that since ive been a big fan on my personal account for years.
I'm just dying to see how a cop would deal with that.
In Australia, they'd probably visit you at home after seeing the video, and take your car.
Illinois Staties wouldn’t give a crap. Not unless it was on an 18 wheeler.
They wanted to race me lbvs.
@@iJacker that's so true
@@iJacker Why would it matter if the jet engines were on a 18-wheeler, tracker trailer, or any type of vehicle ?!
what possible traffic or vehicle laws exist that such an engine would possibly violate ?!
Seems You could certainly use any type of power train, engine propulsion to move any type of vehicle.
What if any specific laws are there which limits the type of power ?
Sincerely
Never thought these kind of insane modifications would ever exist out of video games. This is absolutely amazing
Jesus. I found my spirit animal.
Okay. I'm building an 89 Batmobile replica. This really really makes me want to attempt this since it's supposed to be turbine powered anyway. Too bad you don't live in Atlanta to consult! lol
The refinement and attention to detail in this build is incredible. Great work!
If there is a guy that could build a flux capacitor and install it in a Delorean to travel through time, it’s definitely this guy. What a legend.
I have NEVER seen a video so UNDERATED as this one! All the technical work put into this was amazing! ... it should be 3 times the views and at least twice the likes! .... Matt! you are the man!! Thank you!
I got to give you mad props because you are EXTREMELY TALENTED AND GIFTED. I'm actually jealous of you because you have some really killer ass talent
