Ol stinker has a functional mini steam engine. It's pretty rad. Can attach shit to it to power things. Runs off little alcohol pellets or whatever it's called. I'll have to post up pix or a video

Those a bad ass. Are they actually jet engines?

They both have electric ducted fan engines (pic below). The electric fan runs off a 16 cell 44.4 volt lithium ion 7700 milliamp battery pack and the fan produces 20 pounds of thrust. The jet on the left is a BVM Bandit and flys at a speed of 170mph and the jet on the right the A-4 Skyhawk is closer to 150mph. There quite fast.There are guys that have actual turbine engines running jet a fuel in them. In my area in the city they dont allow the turbine engines due to the fire hazzard they are when they crash. ⛽️ 🔥🧯

They look expensive, I’ve seen a few videos of guys crashing them. It’s gotta hurt the pocket book.

There about $5000 each. Which is cheap. The guys with the Jet A fuel turbine engines can have almost double in them compared to me. To costly for me. It took a long time to build them pice by pice due to the cost. It not only hurts the pocket book but takes an emotional toll. When they hit the ground. It's like loosing a part of you when it takes a couple of years to build on versus just buying one already built from someone. They do make a cool fireball when they hit the ground and they all do sooner or later.

I've always been fascinated by the simulation theory.

The US will see northern lights Friday — and great views even sooner
For all the Northern lights fans in the US. Might have a chance for a good viewing.

I’ve never seen them, maybe someday I’ll be in the right place at the right time.

Powerhouse. They are awesome. Even the fan driven are cool as hell. Watched some dudes flying turbines in sarasota. Dude drove one straight into the ground. Ouch

I'm going to see if I can view anything on Thursday night. I probably just need to head to Norway around when the event will happen.. it's amazing
