    Typical, Farking typical
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Another name for these things is an Athodyd
    Which is a contraction of Aero Thermodynamic Duct.
    If anyone was wondering that it looks suprisingly like a two stroke expansion chamber,It's no coincidence,because the operational theory is exactly the same.
    If you like noise this is the one to go for

In theory the thing would be light as, but I guess the problem would be the slow response time of a jet engine.
    A bigger problem might be the slow no-response time. They keep going for a while. Quite a while.

    Find a road test of the Y2K,you'll read what a total piece of shit it is as a motorcycle.
    A better configuration would be a small gas turbine starter motor that some fighters used.(someone put one on a kart and did 250kph)
    These weigh under 50 kg and develop 100 hp.
    Use this to drive a high efficiency electric generator and motor transmission
