Water powered Jet Car is really cool
Kudos to Edwin over at out sister blog, Coolest-Gadgets, for finding this really cool water powered jet car toy. It’s on board tank holds about 40 ounces of water and once it is pumped with enough air to launch it (about 50 pumps or 60 psi), the car can reach a maximum to scale speed of 272 miles an hour as it sprays a stream of water in its wake! Pushing down on the foot release pedal launches the car like a bullet from a gun.
Designed around the famed rocket cars which race the Bonneville Salt Flats for land speed records, the Water jet Propelled Road Rocket has a missile-shaped, vacuum formed PVC fuselage with dual airfoils that enable it to travel up to 150′ on a paved, level outdoor surface. It measures about 10 1/2″ H x 6 1/2″ W x 28″ L. and weighs about 7 pounds.
Includes an air pump with an integrated pressure gauge and two sheets of decals for customizing your racer. For ages 7 and up.
Cost – about $43 USD from Hammacher
