Divergent. Got it.
-
So I am assuming that the exhaust air gas is treated the same way as a powerplant turbine. Do helicopter engines produce thrust?
-
How much thrust comes from the exhaust gases? What percentage of power?
-
oh yeah piston against a jet engine totally fair right !!
-
1250hp is the 30 minute rating isn't it?
-
The boat is crazy... how fast? and what kind of pump? Is that the stock HP for the turbine?
-
I'd put a DF-16 engine with a small reduction gearbox in one, you wouldn't know. It's of my own design, but I do think that 16 cylinders can make a lot of torque at the same RPM as these V-8s.
-
I can has?
-
Just insane amount of power
-
Are there specifications available, for example, what is the final drive? A propeller? Is drive by a power turbine or shaft through a reduction box?
-
Blew them away.

RIGGED

Most of the time the engine is speeding up - power clutch is not possible in that case?
-
a&p Mech. ...same engine..lol , crazy to put in a boat..wow
-
That was GREAT ..... thanks for posting ....keep up the good work

THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE

Thanks for this. Makes me want to own one.whats the acceleration like?
-
awesome

Brave mofo's launching a piece of hardware like that into such swift water!

We've built the engine, and we've put it in the boat. After our little spin on the lake, the next thing to do is watch Gord and Chris put it through its paces in a real race. The only other turbine boat that showed up for this event had a mechanical problem, so it was us against a field of V-8 powered jet boats. Enjoy the sights and the sounds !

have divergent exhaust?
