Hello everybody! (= hej in swedish)
See anders I finely got around to do a build thread here
Well, I sort of promised that during this years speedweekend.
Sooo how am I. My name is Daniel Lövgren, I live in Sweden (the land of only absolute normal people) and I am 25 years old.
I was 22 years old when I started "racing" at speedweekend with a pulsejet engine (never run).
As it was my first build it came out heavy.... no freaking back breaking heavy.
The year after that I bought a rc model jet engine (amt 450at 23kg thrust) and I already had a ATJ120ti jet engine. So that year I had time(3 months) to build a nice ice racer. Yes it wasn't the best ide to do this in my apartment. Yes 3 months prove to be to little to make a plug, mold and vehicle so no racing that year. It was made in carbon fiber.
But this is all history to show you what led me up to my current project.
A very nice man saw my build thread and he thought that I should have a better jet engine.
This VERY nice man was the owner of JET-RPM Sweden and he sponsored me with a JET-RPM 8000aps jet engine that gives 70kg in thrust. To this day I still can't get my head around that someone would let me play with something like this.
New engine needs a new vehicle and as i had the mold left from the first true ice racer I molded a new one and redid the back end. I didn't use the carbon fiber body because it had to many air bubbles in it and it was less work to make a new one than to fix all the fault on the carbon fiber one.
See also a new work space:)
