My brother is making one of these, only he has a much larger turbo from a diesel truck, I hope to be far away when he starts it though.

dont be anywhere near it when he runs it. If it comes apart you can kiss your arse goodbuy..


they are very cool though.. check out the color change on the housing..... also on you tube there are some engine failors.. check them out...

He has this little cart he plans to mount it to, I'm not sure he'll ever do it but I won't be there to watch, let alone 2 feet from it driving the cart. the turbo he has is the biggest one I have ever seen, originally he was gonna get a few smaller ones and run them together but this one came into the yard and had no play. He says the wheels in it are slightly bigger than his T-76 but the housings themselves are huge, like a foot across at the backing plate on the compressor and larger than a TD06 flange on the turbine with a 4" V-band outlet. sitting that close to something that hot and unstable seems like a death wish to me.

Argh...now I'm away from the home computer where I saved a pretty cool link.

Jet engine....very small, twins, attached to the back of a regular bicycle!!! Video shows the startup and him running along!!!

Maybe Todd still has that...

Making your own can make a nice beer cooler as well :) Saw that link and DIY somewhere as well...of course, on the home computer!
