chaosgone Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Someone has installed a jet engine in his late model Volkswagon Beetle. It's amazing what a person with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University can do. There is a description of the project, along with many photos at: http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/ http://www.chaosgone.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runesmithie Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 There was a story in Wired about this last summer, here's an excerpt: Despite all the muscle, Patrick doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t race. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅIÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m 49, so frying some 16-year-old who just saw The Fast and the Furious doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t do anything for me,ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
