Dale, great site - LMAO One of my students (brilliant guy) has been building these jet engines based on turbo chargers for years (I only found out about his hobby 3 months ago). He brought in a video of his various engines with different fuels/configurations etc. GREAT STUFF. I loved the one when he was using kerosene and the turbo flamed out and this HUGE, and I mean HUGE cloud of vapourised kerosene was seen to fill the back yard and drift over neighbours yards. The best part (as he told it) was the back neighbour was police captain and as the kerosene vapour wafted over the fence and all through his washing he wasn't amused:-))))). He had a "few" words to Allan - VBG Peter Wright
