Raleigh 20. I guess it folds up so you can take it on the tube.

That is a valveless pulsejet.
I'm impressed!
But holy crap, look at this build video!

I've worked with stainless sheet, and I would NEVER try what he is doing w/o industrial leather gauntlets to keep from slicing up my arms when something slips!

Can you imagine riding that bike at 45 mph. He has another video where he uses that jet motor to clear snow from his driveway. He also built a jet barbecue.
