Enter Hackett, champion of the Pulse Jet, a loud, filthy, unsafe jet contraption that can be built with scrap metal, and needs a leaf blower and a blowtorch to ignite. As a member of the Madagascar Institute, Hackett has built a jet-powered bike, a jet-powered merry-go-round, and is working on the holy-grail of a Jet Pack.
