I was gonna say he's in polk county IA we ought to pay him a visit. If it's who I'm thinking it is he was the looney that put the jet engines in that old Pulsar or MR2 awhile back.

[quote name='inanimate_object' date='Jul 12 2005, 05:00 PM']Ok I just looked it up, because I've heard of tanks that use gas turbines like that, and how otherwise would jet helicopters work? Anyway, the turbines with gearboxes are called turboprops, and have a propellor instead of a fan.
