Meet Bussy. He is about to experience backyard "jet propulsion" at its best and basically have the ride of his life.


It really works. Thrust is generated by the continuous rush of the air being exhausted from the tube of the leaf blower and the blast was sufficient to propel Bussy forward into the path of the future..


This improvised mock of a home made jet propulsion system in its infancies illustrates the ease of how to quickly construct a rover to explore small and perhaps inaccessible places.


Here is the final and fabulous backyard technological achievement. Notice the similarities to a Rocket engine and how it works like a turbine by basically drawing air, pressurizing and expelling it to generate thrust.


The thrust obviously comes from the "exhaust jet" and as mentioned above you can see that this is conceptually very simple and surprisingly very reliable as long as there is gas in the tank.


Here is the top view of the final masterpiece to add to the beginner's guide to jet propulsion.
