Got the idea from Colin Furze. Robert Maddox idles them on gas then injects Diesel - seems to work quite well.

Or even just pure O2. That would be seriously explosive though. Acetylene is dodgy stuff.

I know pulse jets would also wouldn't be able handle the energy of both pure acetelyne and ozone

A1 feels like it goes on forever. Years ago I drove 7.5 tonne - south Scotland and north England mainly. You get to know the roads pretty quickly.

I ❤ my w650 ! 500 mile day is way beyond my endurance on it so well done sir. Oh and don't they make a wonderful noise ? 😊

@@mikedugdale281 I wanted something about 50 or 60 hp, kickstart (as well as electric), carburettors, well made and comfortable. It ticked all the boxes. Designed in Germany and built by a Japanese heavy engineering company - says it all to be honest. And yes, they make a good sound. 🙂 More inspiring brakes would be nice though.

I've never heard the w650 was designed in Germany, everything that I've read says nothing about Germany. Interesting to know more.?

@@mikedugdale281 There doesn’t seem to be much about it on the internet now, only a few comments on forums, that I can find anyway. But, from memory, the design was offered to Triumph but they didn’t buy it so it was sold to Kawasaki and they made it as a new version of their old W series - which was originally a BSA design. It would explain why they were so popular in Germany. I wonder if Kawasaki would give any information if asked?

Glad you like it - I will have to do more like this now. 🙂

I have not measured it yet. The jet is kind of on hold as the houses next to me figured out who was creating the infernal noise so I thought it best to leave it for a while. I will get it going again in the winter during some very bad windy weather.

I imagine the 750 might be more fun as it could be ridden flat out for more of the time.

@@mrpingen It was fun! My only real complaint was the 5 speed gear box.

Nice, I like. 🙂

I like the simplicity of it: air/oil cooled, carburettors, 2 valves per cylinder and limited electronics. That is why I bought it over the 916/748 type (they do look nice though). I also like the way that the panels are obviously hand finished and don't quite fit together properly.

😊 The 900SS is seriously excellent on the right kind of roads... but not so good on the wrong kind of roads.

I am editing more video of the trip but, there will be a bit of wind noise on some of it - which really annoys me when I watch other people's videos and annoys me even more on my videos. I am going to have to experiment with microphone positioning.

I have more trips planned but it won't be long before I get near my range for day trips. One planned trip will mean about 12 hours in the saddle for the day. Perhaps I had better dig out the camping gear but the extra weight might not agree with the bike.

I lived near Tomintoul years ago. I am working on an up and over the Lecht video but there is a lot of wind noise so it might not be very good sound on it. 🙁

Looks like I made the right decision then. The video is probably too short for any voice over anyway. Also, while the W650 sounds OK it not as good as the 900ss. 🙂

It was cold. 🥶

Sound is from the rear camera as the helmet cam was just all wind noise - even with internal helmet mic. I am 6’2” and long distance is fine if I make sure to keep my left wrist straight and bend the right forward a bit so that it is straight at part throttle that way I am not hanging on them. Also gripping the tank with knees helps. I suffer badly with sciatica and riding the 900 is one thing that relieves the symptoms.

I have owned it for almost 25 years and will probably never sell it. Also, I intended to do some drone video of me going up the hill but it was way too windy to fly.

A piece of old cotton towel - but a strip of cotton/denim jeans or something similar will work ok too.

The motor I used had no direction arrow so I assume it is OK to spin in any direction. Once mounted I just checked the polarity with a multimeter and then connected the positive through the diode to the battery accordingly.

Love it. Thanks for the link. I will be watching plenty of your videos.

@@mrpingen I'm very glad that you liked it.👍🤝

It has worked for about ten winters with just a couple of pumps of grease every now and again. Took it apart as I wanted to see how well it was holding up.

I'm just rebuilding my 4th cg this particular one is the honda cargo basically a cg125 with a solo seat quite a rare bike in the uk just for the Brazilian Market god knows how it landed in Northamptonshire I saw it advertised on the honda cg125 f/b forum I had to buy it 😊 Jumped in my van and fetched it back to Yorkshire "

@@teacup8362 You could do a little video of that. A lot of people would be interested to see it. 🏍

I actually use it to help charge my home batteries - it doesn't put much in but helps motivate me to do it for exercise.

I added an aftermarket side stand to mine - can't be seen in the video as it is on the other side. It is part of the foot rest setup that bolts on under the engine. I never use it and can't remember why I wanted it to be honest. Center stand is very useful for doing maintenance.

I think it is pretty decent mechanically but needs some cosmetic work to make it 100% - a job for next winter.

Sorry, bit of a delay in responding. Connecting the cells in series will give a 24volt battery of 280ah which works out at 6,720wh or 6.72kwh (280ah x 24v). If connecting parallel pairs in series, for example, that would give a 12volt battery of 560ah. It still works out at the same 6.72kwh of storage capacity though (560ah x 12v).

Thanks. I couldn't believe how well it worked and it literally took a few minutes to make from rubbish that I was just about to throw out! 🙂

I bought some more and it is E0 too. I have been removing the ethanol from petrol for years for use in my old two stroke bike - it is happy enough with the reduction in octane rating as it is fairly low compression. However, I will use this stuff in everything as long as I can get it.

@@mrpingen likely 99 has not been selling so well. Dump it in the E10 tank to move it on. I paid £1.46ltr for 99. Only do 5k miles a year so keeping the tyres inflated and brakes not binding makes the biggest difference.

I guess it is just easier to do liquids by volume. Years ago I was deputised by UK Customs & Excise to do spirit accounting. Blending raw alcohol and water also requires the temperatures to be taken into account as well as the proportion of water already in the spirit (unless it is pure alcohol, of course) so is even more complicated than just the proportions by volume of the two liquids.

Exactly what I have been doing - roads I went past for decades, not having a clue where they actually went and then when traveling them thinking; "Ah, that's where that road goes to". I will definately be exploring more this coming summer.

Nie jest tak głośno jak na filmie.

Thanks. Cobbled together from old dash cam files and a voice-over using with the internal microphone on my MacBook - worked better than I expected so stuck it on UA-cam. I will get the next part sorted and posted.

Hi, thanks. It is that shape because it is a Lockwood-Hiller valveless type. There is some thrust comes out both ends so neeeds to be bent at 180 degrees.

The friction magnets are removed.

That would work for testing. It could be made telescopic to find the ideal length and then a bend made to that length for actual use.

@@mrpingen You had my curiosity, you have now my full attention 👍

In the UK we just seem to take what we are given rather than doing something about it. You are right though, I have not seen any dual hose units here.

Thanks for the comment. I have been very busy with other things of late so have been neglecting my videos. I do have some other things in the pipeline so to speak. Think I might give the little pulse jet a proper full throttle run in the dark outside on the evening of the 5th of November. The local population will be wondering just what kind of fireworks are making the infernal noise. 💣💥😊

I have been experimenting with insulated hoses while using it as a heat pump but I have been so busy recently that I have not had time to do any videos. I am not too sure about the accuracy of the indicated readings.

Have the same unit you do,not used the heat yet,heard they work great,but the draining part concerns me.looks like have to use the hose to drain the water somehow.using it all summer for A/C,no need to drain it.

Watch out for the 5th of November video. I should be able to get away with making a proper noise and some flames in the back garden on that evening. 😊

this made me laugh 😹😹 as for the question of fuels, ideally you want a gas as fuel. liquid wont work properly as it will not pulse properly. you need a gas such as, propane (best), butane (another good option), kerosene is good, gasoline, as long as you inject it slowly it will evaporate into a gas, you just dont want to flood the chamber. hope this helped ❤

Please explain what you mean.
