This buggy is not driven by a horse, but a jet engine that creates thrust from the back.
Amish people are an American group that lives in traditional ways. They avoid electricity and, most importantly, travel by horse-and-buggy. They also threw a jet engine on one of their wooden wagons and used it for transportation. drag racing Exhibitions make for an interesting ride. This odd vehicle is like many others. It was created by a late-night mistake while web surfing. One of the builders was looking for a turbine engine. Instead of buying a turboshaft powerplant with a shaft output, he bought a turbojet which shoots hot gases out the back to create thrust. The guys, who live in Amish country thought it was fun to mount the turbojet to a buggy.
The steel subframe helps to support the vehicle’s weight and the power of the jet engine. Inside, you’ll find a racing seat as well as a custom control panel that uses a mixture of aviation and automotive gauges.
It is amazing what people can do at home:
Although you might believe a jet-powered buggy is lightning fast, the owners claim that it can travel 55 to 60 miles an hour (88.5 to 96.5 km per hour). This wagon is much faster than any horse, however. Because there is no roll cage, owners don’t have to be concerned about the wagon’s low speed. Any crash could cause serious, or even fatal injuries.
This jet-powered buggy puts on a spectacular show. Even after the sun sets, the blue plume of hot gases looks amazing. The engine also roars. Even though it isn’t very fast, people love to watch this strange wagon go down the track.
