Dont do it with Ford's 5.4l, especially if you use heavier oils than the cap says, it'll blow the spark plugs out of the head, with enough force to perforate the hood.
 
I have to show that to my daughter. She used to play the monkey in the sidecar races. She even came at the op of the french championship. The physics are similar to this girl's but on black top tracks with (relatively) well defined trajectories and no random logs or obstacles in the way. Crazy guys.
 
You say it well, M-A. It would be like racing on a road track with random large boulders sitting hither thither on the course.

The young Aussie lady in the video seems absolutely fearless...and has to trust her pilot completely to be so. Impressive, if a little scary to watch too. Close calls are de rigueur.
 
I don’t think so but it’s on the intertube so grain of salt and all that. Amazing if true. 10kw isn’t much. Would 45 amps of 220 run the motor? Electricity isn’t my major so I have unanswered questions about it all. I’m still in the “no free energy” camp.
 
It's just junk put together for views, and importantly view time. He converted a 3ph induction motor into a 3ph brushless DC motor and glued some foil under the magnets. He didn't come close to demonstrating 10kW or dyno testing the thing. He made it sound like the voltage was important, but you need amps to do work. He lied about the uncut video part. It's easy enough to hide a battery and 3ph motor controller in the wire cover and that white "capacitor".
