Well I couldn't really be bothered to read through the whole tutorial but the video at the end is awesome

Wonder if it will work with a T28...

Runs off to grab the old turbo in the garage and buy a go kart chassis from ebay.......

I have built one of these for a CHP project at Uni , took off all my pissing eyebrows the first time i started it LOL

A friend of my dad has actually built a jet engine. Bloody impressive I'll try and find a pic.

I started Reading that and thought, yeah I could do that. The. I watched the video. I cannot do that. I can't even solder. I'd die if I atteempted that.

It is very easy to make them, there are loads of different ways in which you can build them, the only complex part is the Combustion Chamber, although building these is very much guess work.

Hmmm. New event for the weekender perhaps??

I can't watch the video at work, but I did see a very basic pulse jet made out of a jam jar with a hole cut in the lid and some fuel on Channel 4's 'Blitz street' this week

I bet they don't use old T25's

I ran on a tiny turbo, although the larger the unit, the better they run.
