New toy for the playa - 2 MiG 21 engines on a tank

No, it's not a jet-engine powered tank; it's better. The way it's supposed to work is the engines point forward, and you inject water into the exhaust and put out huge fires, like at oilwells - in seconds. See vid at


But are we Burners? Yesssss. So my suggestion is to inject kerosene instead of water and burn the playa down. Can't burn the playa down? Whatever - jet-powered flames is enough.

And if you can't afford a Russian tank and twin jet engines, give this playa-ready blender a try:

I seem to have a smoky recollection of something like that a couple years ago. Jet engine exhaust pointed straight up, with kero or diesel afterburner injection modulated to music.

ExpressoDude,

Is this what you are remembering? It has been there the last four years. It is called El Diablo.

The afterburner uses anything flammable, but no modulation to music. The sparkles you see are bits of titanium injected into the jetstream before the flame.
Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both right.
