And the Jet Engine Goes, "SCREEEEEE"

Remeber last week when I wondered just how this thing's jet engine actually worked? I think I found the answer:

The Gluhareff Pressure Jet engine is a remarkably simple device made of thin-wall stainless steel tubing and sheet metal. Inside, it contains only a length of coiled steel tubing (the fuel line), which gasifies and super-heats the incoming liquid propane before it is injected at supersonic speed at the top of the intake stack. The engine has no moving parts, yet it is fully throttleable.

Upgrade this one to "definitely gotta get me one of these." Can Damion's rocket powered Honda be far behind?

We can do this. I'm fully-qualified to work with aluminum, steel, and titanium sheetmetal, I know how to rivet, etc. And to top it off - I'm also certified to bend fuel lines and the like.

If we need to weld, I'll need a bit more lead time, but let's get cracking!
