Dear all,
I am seeking for a new unit of JFS100-13.
Can anyone tell me where I can purchase it?
I desperately need it for my final project on combustion studies.
Do provide me the contact or website.
Thank you.

I can't imagine this is actually street legal. It's one thing to make a jet powered bike that uses a turbine to power a shaft to turn the wheel, it's another to be thrust-driven. I certainly wouldn't want to be behind this at a stoplight.

If it's going to be thrust-driven, why not put some wings on it? I'd love to have a little ground effect scooter to hop around on.]]>Aug 17th 2006 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/Aug 17th 2006 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/
Theres a reason these things only go 40 mph. Good luck with potholes.]]>Aug 17th 2006 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/
He should try just a single jet on the rear of the thing. Although I wouldn't know how it would fit, I'm sure he could figure it out.

Put the jet in the trunk, and reinforce the lining with something that would keep the rider's tush from burning.

By the way,
Good luck with the MPG.]]>Aug 17th 2006 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/Aug 17th 2006 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/
Are those engines actually attached, or are they just sitting on those blocks?]]>Aug 17th 2006 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/Oct 27th 2007 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/Aug 17th 2006 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/
I suppose my safety concerns are misplaced though, as anyone driving a jet powered scooter has a lot bigger things to worry about.]]>Aug 17th 2006 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/Aug 17th 2006 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/
Nice example of counting your eggs, but besides that not much to report on here...

I still say go with just one engine. It'll still produce 90 break horses, like Messiah said. That's enough to kill oneself. That's good enough for me.

Think about the towing possibilities! ;)

If you rev the engine and then drop off the kickstand, this thing pops a wheelie. If the thruster activates (even if you're going top speed), wouldn't that force the front end up? Even with a front spoiler, I suspect that will happen. Now if you had racing tires and a humongus spoiler in front, that might be a different story...

First, this is ancient news, more apt to be reported by archeologists than bloggers. Second, if you actually RTFA you'll see that he's only speculating about the scooter, and the engines are in no way attached.

And to everyone else in the thread, you should RTFA too. It answers pretty much all of your questions.]]>Aug 17th 2006 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/Aug 17th 2006 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/Aug 17th 2006 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/ron-patrick-s-jet-powered-honda-scooter/
