Hmmm. I have a 330CF high pressure argon tank in my garage. I wonder if I could hook it up to my bicycle with one of these? Of couse I also don't have a way to compress air to 2000-3000 psi, and it weighs 125 pounds. Guess I could go with low pressure tanks like the kid did.

The range is kinda limited with his 2 7 gallon tanks but seemed to work well.
And I would want more speed lol.

Forget pressurized air. STEAM is the only way to go!

cool!
thats a 5th grade project?
wow. my 5th grade project was to measure how fast salt dissolved in hot water vs cold. course, i couldnt weld back then either.
neat idea, for sure. but seems way too limited for any real use. though i suppose if you hooked some gearing to it (that one is a one-speed), it would be a crowd pleaser for sure.
come to think of it, i bet i could do that to the streetfighter....
