Somebody post the photo from this link if they know how

............


I always thought I would see someone's car with this setup here
Before I saw it anywhere else.



I know dodge experimented with this in the 60 s right

But how viable is this power plant

And how much would be involved in , money wise $$$

To do this installation.. I'm thinkin a lot.

That tank looking thing will need to be upholstered.
It'll be next to your hip and under your elbow.
For 160 HP why bother ?

There is one problem, the exhaust is going forward as built.
http://www.jetpower.co.uk/gtp70_gallery.htm

I remember having a Car and Driver with a Vette powered by P&W PT6. Built by Granitelle. It idled at 60MPH and at the 1/4 mile left 2 black streeks for 1,200 feet. You can run them on about anything, but this one would not work for a 914 maybe a VW but you would burn the paint off the car behind you.

Chrysler tried it back in the early sixties. They leased them to a few families around the country to try it out. There was one close to my house. And, of course, Leno has one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Everyone knows you can't turbine a 914!

Roads?
Where we're going,we don't need Roads

Gas Turbine generator charges batteries runs electric motors.
Intrinsic losses mount.
Way Neato tho.
Anyone interested in an attempt to do better what Rover and Chrysler did?
Deep pocket develops hole.
New materials available today may make feasible a more efficient turbine and drive.

One word: Sandrail. I bet you'd be the only guy at the dunes with one. At least until you sucked sand into the blades.

I wouldn't want to be around for that.

Two words: M1 Abram.

From Wikipedia: The M1 Abrams' powertrain comprises a 1,500 shaft horsepower (1,100 kW) Honeywell AGT 1500 (originally made by Lycoming) multi-fuel gas turbine, and a six speed (four forward, two reverse) Allison X-1100-3B Hydro-Kinetic automatic transmission, giving it a governed top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h) on paved roads, and 30 mph (48 km/h) cross-country. With the engine governor removed, speeds of around 60 mph (97 km/h) are possible on an improved surface; however, damage to the drivetrain (especially to the tracks) and an increased risk of injuries to the crew can occur at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h). The tank was built around this engine[59] and it is multifuel capable; meaning that it can be powered with diesel, kerosene, any grade of motor gasoline, and jet fuel (such as JP-4 or JP-8). For logistical reasons, JP-8 is the US military's universal fuel powering both aircraft and vehicle fleets. On the other hand, Australian M1A1 AIM SA burn diesel fuel, since the use of JP-8 is less common in the Australian Army.

It should fit in a 914.

It will require a muffler the size of the car.

Two would fit nicely in a helicopter.

A miniature turbine EV has got to be more efficient than a piston engine EV.

I'd go Electric before I'd go Turbine...

...and I'd likely blow a hobo in a truck-stop bathroom before either.
