Amazing. Here's a guy with great technical skills and a cool hobby, and he gets slammed, probably from guys whose weekends are spent golfing. Golf this, green that, wow did you get your Calloways yet? Then they drink beer, and mock a dude who gets his hands dirty with jet engines.

:bawling:
Where's a sad violin sound clip when you need one.

It was a joke, not a personal attack. Release thy sphincter from the death squeeze.

I hate golf. Green what? What's a calloway? I can afford beer about once a week.

Well, you really need a little winkie or something if it was a joke. It looked simply that you were saying the guy was pathetic and needed a girlfriend/life.

Golfers tend to be the worst when it comes to exalting their own hobby and mocking others, as if chasing a little white ball around has some great merit to it as opposed to having mechanical and technical skills.

a compressor stall means a fireball out of the inlet... right at the driver.

No it doesn't.

Well, it could mean that. Compressor Stall

wikipedia said:
There are two general types of compressor stall.


The first, less severe type of stall, the "axis-symmetric stall", is a straightforward expulsion of air out the intake due to the compressor's inability to maintain pressure on the combustion chamber.


In the second, more-severe "rotational stall", the air flow disruption of the stall causes standing pockets of air to rotate within the compressor without moving along the axis. Without fresh air from the intake passing over the stalled compressor vanes they overheat, causing accelerated engine wear and possible damage.

In this case, I would say the first type would be more severe. :erm:

What about surging. Its been awhile since my turbines class but I seem to remember the honorable Prof. Vosberry talking about pressure flowing the wrong way from the combustion chamber, through the compressors and out the inlet.

Either way, looks awesome. But I am not sure if I would want to take a ride in it.

Well I think with a jet engine in the backseat that it doesn't have to come right at the driver ;). But whatever, you're the expert.
 
1000 turbine

It will take a while with such a small fuel tank, but when he gets a thousand hours, will SWA interview him?
 
The video was cool, but I want to see it going down the road. Now, that would be cool. Oh, and just the thing for the guy tailgating you. I think it's great. Of course, if I had a spare $250,000, it wouldn't be spent on a jet car.
