This one’s for datan0de, latexiron, physicsduck, and anyone else on my flist who appreciates this particular brand of science gone mad.
Inappropriately rocket-powered items. Includes all kinds of bizarre vehicles and not-quite vehicles fitted by various madmen with rocket engines, including but not limited to a rocket-propelled shopping cart (made even more terrifying by the close proximity of the red-hot combustion chamber to the…err…driver) and a rocket-powered street luge (because the only thing more dangerous than shooting down the asphalt at sixty miles an hour while only centimeters from the ground is shooting down the asphalt at a hundred and sixty miles an hour while only centimeters from the ground).

Oh, EXCELLENT.

The rocket-powered bicyclist is crazy. Zero to 60 MPH in five seconds—that’s about 0.55 × g. A back-of the envelope (literally—I’m using a solicitation from the ACLU) calculation suggests that at that acceleration, the rider’s sense of “down” will shift by nearly 30° forward, so that on level ground he feels as though he’s climbing a 30° slope. Note that the engineer is leaning way down and forward on that bike: if he didn’t, he’d pitch over backwards in a heartbeat, even if the oncoming air didn’t snatch him off. </geek>

My ‘evil’ engineer offspring says ‘thank you’, he likes the rocket powered skate board, toilet and bionic arm the best

There’s a rocket-powered toilet. A rocket-powered. Toilet. Rocket. Powered. Toilet.
‘Scuse me, I’m trying to wrap my brain around the sheer hilarity that is a rocket-powered toilet.
My brain hurts from that.
