alaing Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 All was wanted to build one of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-spt7y1v6Y. I dont know if anyone has ever taken note of the stationary engine club you get country shows or classic car shows but imagine their faces if you turned up with one of these!! . The noise is so good! Anyone ever thought of building one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The thing is, they don't make any useable power sadly, they look great and all that, but they lack any real thrust. Simple enough to make.. 1. Oil pump 2. Turbo 3. Some pipe 4. Gas injector 5. Leaf blower 6. Balls and luck (balls to start it, luck that it doesn't go bang) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
