How I Put a REAL Jet Engine on a Kayak

  • 1200F Degree exhaust! Screaming at 160 decibels. Rotating at 121 THOUSAND RPM'S! THIS, is the real deal. An airplane jet engine! Just, on a smaller scale. PERFECT, for a ....kayak? Why not?
    This video documents all the steps I went through to install this little fiery beast. It only weighs 1.90kg or 4.19lbs! Yet this tiny monster creates 45 pounds of thrust. Thats a good amount of power for the new Pelican Catch PWR 100.
    I know Pelican designed this kayak to accept a motor, but I may have taken it too far this time. As my life becomes more and more busy, with a business to run and a UA-cam channel to maintain and now projects like THIS! I might be letting my life get a little too complicated. And this crazy kayak might just scare the heck out of the fish that I have been ignoring lately.
    Something tells me that I should've just put a trolling motor on this kayak like Pelican intended. But it's too late for that now.

    Hey Marty, it was great to meet you in person. My wife and I want to thank you for taking the time to visit with us and show us around your shop, especially the jet kayak before you unveil it. We loved watching the build video and can't wait to see it on the water!

      He's truly something isn't he? I went and visited a week ago and he did the same for me. Showed me around, went through the build with me. Even set off the fire suppression system with me a bit too close. :D (startling when you're not expecting it) I just need more stickers for the other side of the car and my yak.

    • @richardadd8131

      @@theyeetus1428 alex lab made an electrolysis powered hydrogen flame lightsaber whereas the hacksmith made a laminar flow propane (I think) torch protosaber. Also you can’t really say someone’s copying someone else when they were both inspired by a massive film franchise

    You should have a bidirectional nozzle for that jet. It’ll help with the attitude of the kayak with speed and directional inputs.

      A multi-directional nozzle with enough travel to affect heading of the boat would be too complicated and require more futzing around, not saying it wouldn't be cool but very complex.
