what are the technical hurdle's involved in turbine automobiles , i know tanks can be turbine powered and i'm sure torque is abundant but milage is poor . Also , Rotary Radial anyone , never even heard of this until yesterday . not a rotary or a radial , but a engine where the whole engine spins ??? some body explain that to me . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_engine Attached image(s)

Fokker Triplane had it. Imagine a radial engine where the the crank stays stationary and the entire engine spins around the crank. Works real nice for cooling but it was a bummer to turn in the opposite direction of engine rotation. Turned great with it. Or maybe is was the other way around. Anyhow, lots of pilots crashed because of it.
