"I don't accept or produce to sell, the works I make are mainly entertainment videos , but if anyone wants to buy, I will sell to invest in new and more interesting videos!", that is the sharing of Mr. Tran Long Ho (born in 1987) - a famous Youtuber named Thanh Che - Mr. Ho, with more than 1.1 million followers.

Recently, Mr. Ho, residing in Phu Loi commune, Giang Thanh district, Kien Giang province, who is a hotel maintenance worker, introduced a homemade "flying saucer" (UFO) shaped engine in four months with a budget of about 60 million VND, weighing about 300kg.

The "flying saucer" is about 4m in diameter, can hold two people and runs on water at a speed of 50km/h, using a Yamaha 1,200 jet ski engine.

The "flying saucer" can open and close its doors with a remote control, has bright, sparkling lights at night, and is equipped with a solar panel.

His Facebook video of him testing his flying saucer-shaped engine on a river three days ago has attracted more than 9.5 million views.

He spent months tinkering, building a mold out of sand and pouring the shape of a "flying saucer" out of composite... Then, he reinforced it by bending the ribs, welding iron inside, and attaching many colorful switch panels with bright lights like a "flying saucer" in a science fiction movie...

He has repeatedly tested the safety of the engine, and thanks to its disc-shaped design, it is very difficult for the product to tip over or sink. Inside, he has designed an air conditioner so that the occupants do not feel hot or stuffy.

According to the Department of Transport of Kien Giang province, water vehicles with speeds over 30km/h must be registered and inspected according to regulations and the operator must have relevant qualifications.

However, according to Mr. Ho: "These vehicles are only for filming entertainment clips, not for traffic." Therefore, he did not register...

This guy said that two years ago, he started making boats, canoes… from available frames and engines into quite unique water-based vehicles. That is a canoe about two meters long, holding only one person, with a roof, running at high speed. Or a sports car made from an old two-wheeled motorbike…

"Up to now, I have successfully manufactured dozens of different products," said Mr. Ho. Watching his clips, many people commented and expressed admiration for his experience and level of mechanics, electricity...

In the near future, Mr. Ho also plans to register to study for additional qualifications related to controlling water vehicles.

This "flying saucer" shape is made entirely of composite plastic, the lower part is equipped with an engine like a normal boat running on water.

"This product is for entertainment purposes only, not for use as a means of transportation on water.

I only did it once to experience it and post it on my Youtube channel, but I have no intention of producing more models like this. Because each time I do it, it is quite hard and difficult," Mr. Ho added.
