Got any pics of the motor? I think I would re-position the tanks or build a stronger cage around them before venturing out around the evil streets of Boston, but I like the idea. I built a pulse jet ped back in the 80s but it put a new meaning to the word dangerous. The flames shot back 30 feet, and once it started accelerating, the incoming forced air negated the throttle and it began to run away. I had to shut the fuel valve to stop it. And then there was the noise issue. 115 db at 20 feet. And that was at idle.
