As someone that grew up on that lake, i've seen some crazy vehicles at incredible speeds but that was the first jet engine sled i've seen. Being that cold with zero visibility can be disorienting for sled riders. If he did it earlier in the year the snow pack would have been less or avoidable.

Antifreeze in the fuel could keep the engine from freezing as fast, that’s what commercial jets use. Maybe a guided intake could stop the engine being starved of air by your body sitting in front of it. And maybe a kill switch would be a good idea, since I noticed when it flipped the first time, it nearly torched your legs.

Maybe have a route already lit/well marked ahead of time just so you can spend less time navigating and more time moving. Maybe waxing your skis before launch day? Or playing with that idea? Idk

Making it longer makes it more stable but also increases the drag and reduces manoueverability. You have to find the sweet spot by testing it out. Your biggest issue is the steering concept: By using a single rotating ski in front of your vehicle you introduce stability issues that make it hard to steer and you get those diving issues. At higher speeds this thing will spontaneously self destruct. Either put 2 steering skis in front like a snowmobile or use (imho best option) differential braking by increasing the drag on one side. You can increase drag with aerodynamic control surfaces (excellent at higher speed) and some kind of snow spoiler that retracts onto the ground and plows snow for drag. Another option is to dynamically change your weight distribution. Also maybe consider sitting around the engine so that it is located below your stomach , blasting out between your spread out legs and pulling directly from the front through your spread out arms. A bit like sitting on top of a superbike with a jet intake. This ofc. requires a sufficient shielding if the engine explodes, but it may help with the icing issue since the engine is enclosed and will stay hotter. Be careful of over-heating though! Good luck with the next iteration, i enjoyed this one!
@georux6783

Definitely make it longer, much more stable, little wider and better steering, maybe 2 ski system. Lay down will make it more aerodynamic for sure... no need to straddle the engine, too dangerous. Adding shield way too heavy. Oh btw, making it longer will not increase drag. It might decrease of not too long, spreading the weight out which will dig into the snow less. Look at the coefficient to find the sweet spot.
@Breakdown5297

Ok, some good changes for V2 would be: Increase chassis length and width, allowing you to lay down Put a nosecone on it, increasing aerodynamics make a shaped intake for the jet, so you laying in front of it doesn't prevent it from getting air add a kill switch for the engine add more skis, two sets in the front, two in the back of the longer chassis, decreasing surface pressure and increasing stability Make the front sets of skis steerable, and get rid of the single steerable, making it safer to turn. get a flatter, larger fuel tank, so you can go longer without refuling Double up engines? Suspension to help with the big bumps you hit sometimes, would increase reliability over time mix antifreeze into the fuel and insulate the engine with the wool used in kilns to allow the engine to run at lower temperatures

I'd make it longer and a bit wider, then put a second engine on it. being wider would reduce the issue of your body blocking the intake and make the engines more efficient. Widening would also let you put a second ski up front which would allow for more stability because that is where the majority of your body weight is being held. Lengthening it would then let you put longer skis on to spread the weight load over a longer distance (same reason skis float better on faceted snow than snowshoes) which will actually let you go faster as well. You might also want to look at a ski that is around 100-110mm at the waist on the main sled body to also give more float and control in variable snow. Speed is a huge barrier in this game. A 38 mile trip over a frozen lake might not seem like much but the variable snow (breakable crust, faceted, and sastrugi) can definitely slow you down. Those are lessons I've learned from climbing and skiing the high peaks of Colorado. All in all this looks like a fun project!

He also need hearing protection for being right near it for 20-30 min...someone else said antifreeze to keep the engine fuel from freezing... maybe wrist and elbow and knee guards in addition to keep him from dying by oversteering and hitting icy floor/heavily packed snow... And a kill switch on a remote attached to his GoPro cam handle mount so he can keep the engine from continuously burning through his pants if he doesn't implement wings to keep it from rolling onto him

A compass to help maintain the heading and/or a GPS will be needed on the next one.

Might also consider something that floats too as insurance of sorts, if it gets slushy like the time during that other year.

As a Minnesotan this drives me insane. I have never heard it called "The Angle" we (At least in the vast majority of MN) call it the "Northwest Angle" not like a major flaw, but somehow I am really annoyed by this. Great video otherwise!

Yeah, I've definitely heard it called "The Angle" plenty of times before. People usually use the full name, but it's a common enough nickname to where I didn't think twice about it when he called it that. It could just be that it's more of a local nickname that isn't as common in the rest of the state though.

I would say add a second jet, and use the fuel tank like a ballast to keep the front end of the sled pointed up. I would also say get rid of the skis and use two platforms. The big platform will have two fins to keep it centered and prevent wobbling, and the second will go in front and allow for steering. Use a piece of metal for the front plate, and weld fins under it. This will allow for better steering in snow pack, but will allow it to act like an ice skate over the lake

The footage from the mounted camera on his vehicle makes him look like he is flying. Nice attempt, love the janky jet engine on a sled, pretty sweet.

A set of snowmobile carbides on the bottom of the skis would help a lot with steering and stability on hard pack and ice

Ok, the solution is right in front of you. The black plastic thing you used to drag it is the solution. Find or make a long one and mount the jet onto a frame around it and for a steering fork (I'd consider even doing something like a rear steer like a boat since no sharp turns are needed. Less chance of dig in) Have your intake air preheated by a cowling around the hot jet and with the large surface area you can afford a larger tank which I would make as part of the bottom of the container flat with foam or insulation around it and a scoop for air intake. (basically air flows in the scoop is forced over the engine backwards and then into the intake and out the rear and you could use a fin to direct the flow for steering too?? but on the ice may be too squirrelly so have the rudder as backup. ) By separating the cockpit with large flat tank from the engine your safety goes up and the padding and you keeping the fuel "warm" and the intake air preheated and the large surface area that will fly over the snow as easily as the ice, you solve all the problems including the refueling stops which I think is cheating anyway. Now let's get it done eh...

You could create a much larger sled while keeping it pretty light by using aluminum tubing or light steel tubing. If you were to make something with much wider, with much larger skis where to front of the skis come high out of the snow, and a simple independent spring suspension on each ski. Could maybe even make a thin aluminum sheet box that surrounds the jet engine (except entry and exit) would maybe act like a box that holds in some heat and isolates it better from the cold and wind. For sure if you had enough time beforehand, you could have a good welder weld you a nice lightweight, wide base and also a taller sled. Also maybe tilt the jet engine so it points downwards slightly at the back and make the mount longer so the engine sits even further behind you so that the more trust you give it, you more weight it takes off the front end and skis and that should work to reduce the likelihood of the front end sku going down under the snow at higher speeds and launching you off..

A go-cart concept where you lay down in it would have been a better design. You could have dual side fuel tanks and a nose with wind shield.

For that four wheeler I recommend trying wider wheels or even tracks. If you can spread out the weight over a wider surface area it will make it less likely to sink into the snow
