Project help needed- Turbine engine

RDF, I have never seen any turbine powerplants on auctions, never ever. A good issue of thrust was raised. I would love to stop by and have a look at whatever you are making when you have something of interest. They show up on eBay regularly. look for "gas turbine", "jet engine", etc. You'll get a ton of toy trucks and locomotives, but there are a bunch of APUs, jet fuel starters, and other small gas turbines from AiResearch, Snecma/CFM, and a few that don't come to mind immediately. They are in the 20-50 Hp range, and can be picked up by one person. Some of them are incredibly small, basically the size of a truck turbocharger with accessories attached. (There are also some larger APU engines, an occasional helicopter engine, and even complete jet engines of various types, mostly VERY old. These don;t show up as often, but if you keep watch, you will see them a few times a year.) Jon |
