Jettiness – Jet Powered ATV

by Skip

It has been a while since I’ve noted anything "different" from the world of jet powered stuff-other-than-planes.  So, when this showed up:

Jet ATV

Gizmodo reports:

John Carnett modded brand new Polaris RZR 2-seater ATV with a grey market, 40-year-old turbine. The result is a 114db joystick-driven vehicle that spews out 1300°F exhaust to achieve around 60MPH. And it sounds glorious.

Also, from the Pop-Sci site, there’s a video after the jump(take a while to load)…

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.
