Why do I get the feeling that a few of the people who frequent this board would strap a couple of mini jet engines on their bicycle?

Cool engines - I hadn't seen any that small before.  

Wonder how much output they have...  forget the bicycle - give me the JETPACK.

I believe they are the kind of turbo-jet you would put on one of those really expensive R/C planes.

Wonder if you mount them on a bass boat what speed would you get out of it? I doubt very much due to the friction of the boat against the water but it would be a fun experiment
