LOL, abosultely nuts! A little easier when you don't have to worry about traction though.

Got me. I thought it was going to be a car, not that thing.
Next we'll have a video of a new record set by,
a beam of light.

*In nerd voice* "Um I don't see a beam of light setting any new records, heh heh *snort*" just saying... C

...and don't bring up Cherenkov radiation, particles are still slower overall in a vacuum.

What were you expecting to see? Top Fuel, the pinnacle of straight line ICE performance, cannot even touch that speed by a considerable margin.

Took a quick look a the rule book for jet powered dragsters. Looks like:
1. Jet engine
2. Goodyear tires
Done.

I wonder what an ICE could do if they didn't have any rules limiting them.

This was rocket powered. Like noted above, an ICE doesn’t stand a chance under any circumstances.

Sick! And the guy who made the video plans on transferring a Tesla S running gear into a Mini Cooper and using it as a drag car. :eek:

H202 jets are so dam cool, it sucks that they were banned by so many places. Hydrogen peroxide + nitrous (just used to push the H202 ) through a silver screen into a a rocket nozzle = water vapor shooting out at insane speeds.

High test peroxide is pretty damn dangerous.

I don't know what percentage they use in this H202 jet car but I sure as hell would never want the stuff on me. German test pilots in WWII were dissolved by the stuff.

typically you target high 90% the higher the better the reaction. I may have made a small model in college hoping to attach it to a go kart. After the first test I decided it wasn't such a good idea
