Todays lesson Facebook uses an algorithm that works as such.

You’re scrolling the videos page and you spend a certain time watching a video. The algorithm sees you stopped and viewed that video so it starts suggesting all related videos it can find. As such of you scroll past a video and don’t spend a certain amount of time watching it the algorithm recommends less of that type of video.

the algorithm is now dumping these videos in my feed this one had the translation something along the lines of drone engines to be repaired and used. The small two cylinders making around 20hp would make awesome mini engines. Gifts from the sky...

Finished another baby EV Vespa.

88v @ 375A for now. Soon to be 117v and 450a. Basically 55+ instant HP in a kids 24lb vespa. (122lbs now)

Its so long, it just hooks and goes. Already doing 5.4X 330ft and 1.9 60' not even trying on unpreped asphault. Pretty crazy little bike. Tops at 70. Should top around 85-86 at 117v.

Gets me thinking... Are there any large rc-style nitro engines that'd work for bikes like these that are readily available?
Top fuel minibike anybody? It's like top fuel drag but WAY more unsafe!

I bet even the RC car nitro motors (the largest, most powerful ones, 5cc for example) would at least get a minibike moving, albeit at like 15 mph tops (if you weigh little). Only with 5cc's!
Perhaps a 12-20cc nitro engine with 2-4hp could power one better? You'd need some wacky gearing with all that rpm...

Dunno why you’d bother with the complexity of something like that for tiny power amounts. When you could get any decent sized engine to put down MUCH more. Not to mention you can run any 4 stroke on nitro pretty easily. Just need to be able to supply the fuel and have internals strong enough to handle the bang.

Also running a fuel that is $60-90 per gallon is pretty silly for those power levels

That said Integza did exactly what your talking about on a bike. It worked very poorly.

It is a terrible idea, and not practical whatsoever, but again I wonder how it would work, behave, etc. just a thought.
I cannot access that video on this device, though I have watched that video. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he use a 3cc engine? Yes it didn't work well, but for 3cc's, it's still impressive how fast he got going. I'd never try this because of how impractical it is but it's still interesting to think about nonetheless.
I bet you could get some crazy drag bikes on larger nitro 2 strokes though.
