Ky Michaelson is the mastermind behind some seriously wacky contraptions like a rocket-powered toilet and a jet-powered coffee pot. But his latest addition will leave you speechless: a beer-powered motorcycle!
Nestled away in his Bloomington garage, Ky has conjured up a two-wheeled marvel that will leave you in awe. Instead of a conventional gas-powered engine, this bad boy boasts a whopping 14-gallon keg with a heating coil! That's right, my friend, the fuel of choice is none other than ice-cold, golden nectar of the gods – beer!
This would be a great way to burn through any of that leftover Bud Light you might have.
UPI reported that the coil heats the beer up to 300 degrees, which then becomes super-heated steam in the nozzles that propel the bike forward.
"The price of gas is getting up there. I don't drink. I'm not a drinker, so I can't think of anything better than to use it for fuel," Michaelson told KMSP-TV.
Michaelson estimated the bike could reach speeds of up to 150 mph. He said he hopes to take the bike out to a drag strip sometime soon to test its capabilities.
Michaelson's son, Buddy, said the motorcycle could be adapted to run on almost any beverage.
"It could be any kind of liquid. It could be Red Bull. It could be Caribou Coffee. It could be anything. But beer. Why not," Buddy Michaelson said.
The father and son said the motorcycle will eventually be retired and have a permanent home in Michaelson's at-home invention museum.
This guy has really pushed the boundaries of what we thought was possible.
With his beer-powered motorcycle, he has tapped into the spirit of fun, creativity, and a touch of madness. This invention iis not only a testament to his ingenuity but also a testament to the audacious spirit of inventors everywhere.
