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. At 1:18 you can see the lower pipe has separated from it's mount but, the top pipe still holding strong until 1:59 when you can just barely see it start to slowly fall. Then Robert Notices at 2:49 LETS GOOOO
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).
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 !
There is a rich history in the Military of TTD - 'Testing To Destruction' - the most effective way to find the true limitations of a new piece of kit! Absolutely inspirational as always - thanks so much!

holy crap! i've never seen a self starting pulse jet that runs so reliably! usually its people fussing with the mixtures for a good while before it will stay on. love seeing these things run to failure

Since necessity is the mother of invention and this is a first time for a meltdown, I can't wait to see what you come up with next Bob to safeguard against another meltdown. As always, pretty cool Bob.
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.
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
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
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!
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!
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
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

Since necessity is the mother of invention and this is a first time for a meltdown, I can't wait to see what you come up with next Bob to safeguard against another meltdown. As always, pretty cool Bob.
whenever I feel down I watch Crazy Rocketman and it helps soooo much. each and every time. thank You!!!
This guy is amazing. That beard. That smile. That rocket car. Life goals.
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.
Huge smile on his face the entire time. Living his best life!
This old dude is living it to the fullest. Best of luck, know you've lived more than most of us.
one of the coolest videos on this whole website. Imagine being as awesome as this guy.
I love his joy for life and optimism that the helmet and one free hand is all that he needs for his rocket adventure.
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!
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...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.
I like how he is operating exteremly heavy and volatile equipment with only one hand. Rock on my guy, live for the moment
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
You always brighten my day. Thanks, Bob.
Thanks for bringing joy to my RUclips feed, sir! So fun to watch you have fun!
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
Guy was burning so much fuel his engine melted, what a lad!
Just a crazy rocketman doing laps in the desert, I love it
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
This looks absolutely badass and so fun to do. Godspeed, my good sir, you are a legend.
04:00 I think he sums it all up; the sheer awesomeness, the force of will, the beard... all of 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 😂
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!
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!
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
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!
Has to be the single most inefficient way yo move around but I'm so here for it lol. Just hope he stays safe.
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
you will never grow old as long as you keep doing this !your a legend and an inspiration
the pure joy on his face, i envy that
I had stupid ear to ear grin watching this. Thank you so much for this.😊
Sir,, you’ve just unknowingly adopted a new grandson!! You’re an absolute legend good Sir!
A well placed camera and a proper picture at the perfect time could have given us the the greatest album picture of all time
great proof of not all old people are the same.
Hey grampa is high today
