English "Microlight Instructor" and hackgineer Andy Tyler, age 35, father of 2 built a pulse jet engine out of instructions he got off the internet and attached it to a shopping cart he retrieved from a river. The liquid fueled engine glows red hot at temperatures up to 600 C. - hot enough to require a heat shield between the engine and the driver. His description: It can't go on roads, runs out of fuel after two minutes and at over 50mph becomes unstable. People think I'm off my trolley but it's exhilarating.
Amateur engineering is the wave of the future, and a revival of the past...
