Rocket Bike | Mad Scientists

this thing is nuts it is a rocket bike
and the fuel is asphalt asphalt asphalt
like you’d make your street out of
asphalt
yeah roof and talk why would you use
asphalt as a fuel when there’s other
rocket fuel well the thing about it is
asphalt I can buy a hundred pounds of it
down here at the roof and store for
fifteen dollars
that’s your asphalt holder and thrust we
trust in I’m trusting you
would you like a Helmut Jahn sure yeah
you’re comfortable I’m gonna go ahead
and arm it yes sir
five four three two one ignition
all right got fire hit the button I did
nothing
this is bad this is uh we didn’t produce
real thrust from the rocket engine so
apparently that valve sticky around to
go you got fired
there we go oh man clearly we have a
technical difficulty I think we gotta
just not yeah as a sticky baton it’s not
all rocket science our quality control
is suffering here so Tim’s ignition
system isn’t working but he has a new
idea so what I don’t want to do is take
this coat hanger and I just want to make
a little hook like a fish hook so I’m
gonna tape this to one of these igniters
we made this is cannon fuse did he just
say cannon fuse you’re fixing the bike
wood cannon fuse and a coat hanger
that’s it man I’m starting to be
reminded of the cartoons I watched as a
kid all right all right we’re armed and
dangerous and I’m gonna light this torch
and I’m gonna light this candle tell me
when look for the hand signals so now
I’m sitting on a bike with a bomb
attached to it and cannon fuse behind me
burning this is not a comfortable
feeling
okay that’s fun
