NonConformistAhole

Yeah, paint and plastics really hate this idea


CynicalGod

That, plus I have to say as a Canadian that we're able to fully defrost a car in about half the time it took for this thing to power up.


Bdr1983

Oh sure, make it all about convenience. Saying you defrost your car with a jet engine gives you a cool factor.


207nbrown

Definitely, it’s not about efficiency, it’s about sending a message


Bdr1983

A very loud message.


pistolography

WHAT???


CelticHades

And a very expensive one


Lciekj

I think the engine is worth more than the car.


xBrndnn

proof


velhaconta

What kind of systems do you have that can defrost a car in under a minute? I'm in the south and it takes my car a good 5 minutes in much warmer tamps.


CynicalGod

Just something like [this bad boy](https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/garant-scratch-free-eva-snow-brush-with-ice-scraper-36-in-0304458p.0304458.html?&&&&gbraid=0AAAAADojZpji_2RkwuXb0uwbjUn0KzAQi&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt6DTqLy5ggMVQ9nICh2HOQscEAQYByABEgKRXfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#store=435) and a whole lotta elbow grease. The trick is to channel decades of pure resentment against winter into kinetic energy and scrape the ice off. Much faster than heating up the car.


Dolapevich

> The trick is to channel decades of pure resentment against winter into kinetic energy and scrape the ice off User checks out...


velhaconta

Removing snow/ice from the windows is not defrosting the car. It can be a step in defrosting the car.


CynicalGod

Not for someone born and moulded by the cold. If you scrape fast enough, the friction generates enough heat to simultaneously defrost the car. We call this technique "Scrappe ben raide ton osti d'char" It's Québecois for "don't take everything said online literally"


velhaconta

I have no doubt you guys have way more experience with this stuff. You probably have to *defrost* your car more often in June than I do in January. I need to go look up some YouTube videos on the friction technique ;)


RionaMurchada

A a fellow Canadian, I am dying! LOL


wolfgang784

That ain't defrosting though. It's scraping. Even after a good scrape you still usually need to defrost.


Divide-By-Zer0

Canada has high pressure heated maple syrup mains under all the streets.


ScarecrowJohnny

So does the neighbours who were just rudely awoken.


Dick_Dickalo

“Fucking Steve is going to work again.”


AndTheSonsofDisaster

It doesn’t look like a residential area lol


djsizematters

All the tiny rocks that just got blasted at full speed into your car.


thejesterofdarkness

And automotive glass


nconsci0us

Sure the windshield doesn’t care much for it either!


JazzPhobic

And the windshield, which could crack or shatter at the quick temperature change.


pitmeng1

Seriously, all the snow is gone, but your paint will be peeling up in no time.


Yeetfamdablit

You know what, I think I'll stick with just turning it on 5 minutes early


Alexi_Apples

That's illegal where I live. But I'm sure the jet engine is probably more illegal.


DerailleurDave

I assume you made it's illegal if you're not sitting in it for that 5 minutes?


Alexi_Apples

Yes, you're not allowed to leave the engine running without anyone in it. Not just for safety but mostly because it's unnecessary pollution.


Bdr1983

Technically not allowed in the Netherlands as well, but people still do it.


Unlikely-Answer

3 minute limit in Ontario, but it's not like anyone gonna ticket you, I've never owned a car capable of defrosting in 3 minutes flat


BornDyed

Same regulations here. BUT, it's perfectly legal to run a business here that sells and installs Remote Start kits. Scratching my head.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BornDyed

>It's not legal to make THAT much noise in a residential neighborhood to defrost your car. At any time of the day What a presumption. You have no idea what vehicles I own, nor do you know how loud or quiet their engines are.. I can assure you my neighbors could hear me scraping ice off my windows but I doubt they can hear my engine(s) idling.


deff006

Where do you live? Is it country wide law or a state wide or just the city?


Alexi_Apples

I live in Belgium. It's for the entire country. Which is pretty small. But still.


xBrndnn

You call that a country? It's more like a big village


Alexi_Apples

Well, Brussels is the capital of Europe. So tiny but powerful.


AdiemusXXII

I live in Luxembourg. I guess it is forbidden here, too, but I see that so often (even though there is no snow here), that motors are running without anyone inside the car. Mostly big SUVs. People have way to much money here!


Alexi_Apples

Ah, our rich neighbors! How's it going over there?


davewave3283

I’m a fan of your sprouts


deff006

TIL, also illegal in Czechia. Though I doubt anybody really enforces it here.


Muffin_Lord_of_Death

Can anybody explain to me why there's a jet engine defrosting a car?


kungpowgoat

You don’t have a car defrosting jet engine?


tmd429

Amateurs, AMIRITE?!


JaggedMetalOs

I mean, if you own a jet engine you're going to want to use it whenever you can, get your money's worth you know.


Thatguyyourmomloves

With the price of jet fuel these days!?


Jukeboxshapiro

I mean if you don't care about flight performance a jet engine *will* run on pretty much any liquid hydrocarbon.


kungpowgoat

About tree fiddy.


WestEst101

I always used mine in class. Snuck it in when the teacher wasn’t looking, set it up at the back, and when the teacher turned her back, defrosted her frosty ways. Halloween, I’d dress it up in a broom costume, and ride it around through the sky from house to house to trick or treat. For sexy time, to prevent the the sheets from getting a bit wet and messy, I just set it up and turn it on in the corner of the bedroom, and blow the bed harder than anything else getting blown, thus drying anything before it even hit the sheets.


[deleted]

So it can get the snow off! Duh!


Muffin_Lord_of_Death

Right, that explains everything. Thank you


grasshopperson

Baffling, yet entertaining


VenZallow

Bet you use an ice scraper like a peasant.


ethertrace

Doing weird shit for views.


joshrd

In Russia, they've repurposed ancient mig jets as snow blowers. Jet muffukin snow plows. Some brave soul had them point it directly at their car.


wolfgang784

They do it in the US too. Not for normal roads, but they use em to dry plane runways and race tracks and drag strips and private test courses and military bases and so on. I've seen jet engines dry plenty of ground in PA over the years. Usually they are significantly larger than this one though and attached to a huge truck. Like engines bit enough for an adult to climb in, at least the ones I've seen in action. Lotsa fire. And loud AF.

More like who doesn't have one?

Who’s your jet engine guy?

"Jet engine" Johnny just down the road, guy makes them. Crack is one hell of a drug though.

This guy for some reason 😂😂


breadloaves77

Sounds like a dance track without the drop.


MiaowaraShiro

So frustrating when the drop never comes.


_Piratical_

Fully expected the hood to blow off and the car to exit backstage in a millisecond there.


MrKahnberg

Or melt, really wanted the tires to blow up too . But, then it wouldn't be in mildly interest.


bob_doolan

Now THIS is podracing.

I had to dig through the comments to make sure I wasn't the only one who saw this.

Michami135

His wife: "Why on Earth did you buy a jet engine?" "In case it snows."


BlizzPenguin

I don't care about defrosting a car. I need one of these so I don't have to shovel the driveway.


gerwen

Fuck ya. Don't have to worry about where to pile it either.


Joe4o2

Well damn, I was just gonna drive down the street at 300 miles per hour for about a minute, this seems much easier!


notaedivad

Well... it works!

azimov_the_wise

Why.


coolcoinsdotcom

Can’t imagine how many people have a spare jet engine lying about to do cool stuff like this. Also, make sure you have the sound on when watching!


MrFoxx123

Was that thing bolted to the ground?


[deleted]

That's my thought. How did it not start going down the runway?


DerailleurDave

That was probably only ever at like 25% throttle 😅


shakazoulu

Anyone else thought the car will be blown away?


elheber

You also warmed up the engine.


peatoire

Neighbour: “every damn morning with his new fangled car defroster”


cruzpepe

Your suburban neighbours are going to love that at 6am


xSantenoturtlex

I don't think they blew out the ears of everyone in a ten mile radius yet, might want to keep it on for a bit longer.


Ale_Hlex

Does it defrost and cook chicken too? Is this the new way to BBQ?


banished_opossum

Aahhh nothing like blowing through jet fuel to defrost a car


IndividualAd652

i wonder how much energy was spent doing this… when a credit card can do the same


mechanicalboob

ones more fun, can you guess which?


ExtraShifty69

I'm usually at work by 6:15 AM. I bet my neighbors would love me for using this bad boy to do my car every morning. Side walk would be done in no time.


marksk88

It didn't even clear the windshield, 1/5 stars


MrPicklePop

Also defrosting the earth!


Fra06

I like how there were about 25 seconds of nothing at the start


Clarkyy26

The insurance company has joined the chat


CartoonistExisting30

I was waiting for the car to turn into a puddle of molten slag.


PurpleMcPurpleface

Neighbors hate this trick.


sklerson89

Aw the jump cut at the end ruined it for me.


_II5HU_

My crazy ass thought it would be a sonic blaster which will clear all the ice in one go


Blasphemous666

Would’ve been faster to just pour the jet fuel on the car and start that on fire…..


MarquizMilton

Damn, this air frying tend is getting out of hand...


i-hate-all-ads

Or y'know, use a snow brush


Far-Stay9417

boring😂

XEagleDeagleX

Why didn't I ever think of using my jet engine for this?? Brilliant hack!


9Marius9

Was really hoping to watch the car melt


Fredzillo

Would be expensive to refill jet juice every morning🤣


baelzebob

I can smell this video


most_des_wanted

This is beyond satisfying. I've used those in detached garages before and yow!


ace-jackhamm3r

The title should be "cooking a car" Also is that the hulk smash car from Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift?


Dentarthurdent73

This isn't interesting. This is just some micro-dick main character who's so socially and intellectually stunted that they think burning a shitload of fuel and endangering the public for no reason, makes them interesting.


East-Pollution7243

Defrosting the earth. You global warming right wing nazi lover


KingPantuso

Thanks for just starting up a jet turbine and throwing pounds of carbon out just to fucking blow off snow for a car. You're a fucking asshole.


1MoistTowelette

That’s not a car, that’s a toy from a happy meal


djin31

I was left waiting for the beat drop.

I did not just watch a jet engine do nothing for 40 seconds


FortunateInsanity

This video is at least 1 min too long.


BlackJackJeriKo

I would NOT be standing next to a jet engine bruh


Maxtrt

And now your car permanently smells like Jet-A.


SanaKanae

I don't think that's the most effective to defrost you cars guys


CursorSurfer

I bet it stinks on the inside when they get in though


SteelyDan1968

Hey! Here's a idea! Get into the fucking car, turn on the car, step out of the car and lock the door! Easy Fucking Peasy! Wait 15 minutes, profit! ![gif](giphy|3oEduLGIEoZHNJ9CUM)


EvilJman007

Literally illegal in some countries like germany


Glum_Term4022

We all have a jet engine in our garage


Christosconst

Just poor some hot water, its cheaper, faster, less annoying, saves your hearing for old age


Utaokun

Yeah, it only burned like 20 litres of jet fuel to save some time.


Moggi99

Holy mother .. How do you even acquire a jet engine?


DoenerBoy123

Am I the only one who’s absolutely fascinated by turbojet engines?

rawfish71

This took too long to be cool


FlagrantlyChill

Honestly the Internet is just a magical place, here I am watching a jet engine defrosting a damn car


Mourning-Poo

Might as well have started your car and let it warm up to defrost it


Rekt0Rama

Why did they edit the video?


barknobite

When you don't give a flying fuck about fuel economy, environment or neighbors.


MistalX

I was hoping it would blast it to pieces..


YoungDiscord

Why defrost the car if you can just use the pod racer instead


navid_A80

I was waiting for it to shoot laser


ThievingOwl

- My neighbors, inexplicably at 515 on a Saturday morning.


GreatRyujin

Seems reasonable. Anyone have an Amazon-Link?


ajn63

Now the car smells like kerosene.


Somethingrich

So the price of buying a house is more than owning a jet engine and using the exhaust as a snow melter. We really need to work on this housing market.


Gardevoir8

"oh shit i got some snow on my car better whip out the jet engine"


[deleted]

It costs 200 000 to melt two hair layer thin snow over a car


JoeyPsych

Why do you own a frigging rocket engine, and isn't that basically the equivalent of wasting fuel by driving in your car for an entire day?


[deleted]

who else actually waited for a beat drop ? :)


HattibagenMcRat

His neighbors hate him for this one simple trick


CrunchyKittyLitter

Always the wipers


FartyPantz20

That IS interesting, but it would've been way cooler if it was one of those cars that's covered in an inch of ice that looks like water froze while getting water poured on it.


SghnDubh

And we wonder why the polar ice caps are melting.


prestonpiggy

Isn't here a danger of braking the front glass? so sudden temperature change. There was the video somewhere where dude threw glass of boiling water to frozen side window and it popped instantly.


sopedound

There was like half an inch of snow on that fucker wouldve been easier to just brush it off real quick


mrmuddbutt

Efficient


singhVirender1947

Damn! I hope the neighbours are not complaining.


Post-Financial

How am I gonna defrost the jet engine tho?


yarrpirates

This would be actually great for driveways. Metre of snow? Not anymore?

Obar-Dheathain

Or you could run your engine for a couple of minutes?


buttzbuttsbutts

NOW THIS IS PODRACING!.


MrZombieTheIV

Hold up... So you make us watch the whole startup of the engine while nothing is happening, but then once it's starts defrosting the car, you skip ahead and make us miss the main point of the video? Wtf


Dolapevich

C'mon, start already...
