I bought this little turbine from a guy in California about twenty years ago. The plan was to make an electric 32 Ford roadster. I sourced a
Tesla Referral drive unit, which, at the time was not easy to find as they were not showing up in salvage yards yet. I got with an electrical engineer who was excited about the project and we were going to use batteries to actually power the car, and the turbine would charge the batteries and provide the naturally awesome sound as you pulled into the car show. I uploaded a video of it running to Youtube if you want to hear it. before I could build the car I got distracted so I built this cool cart to move it play with it. We took it to the Indy 500 one year and we started it up 29 times in the camp site until the batteries ran down. Lots of folks uploaded videos of that and you may have seen one.
I am selling it because it is way cool to have and listen to, but it had been three or four years since I ran it, so it must be time for a new home. I will use the cash to purchase a four post car lift to store my 56 Thunderbird.
I am taking it to Airventure this year if it doesn\'t sell on . I am in the center of the country in Sedalia Missouri if you want to pick it up.
