pretty sure this will get pulled after ppl start whoreing the downloads so if someone knows how to save and repost it somewherese that would be great.


I belive its like a Garrett T3, bunch of engineers at Cornell Uni. Similar to the instructions they sell on ebay.

Few more vids and pictures here: http://www.gas-turbines.com/ looks like hes got a sweet cd packet of videos/instructions that I might order.

Cornell Uni's Formula Sae team rigged this beast up

that tube is compressed air to spool it up, then the guys with the wires sparking is sending juice to a spark plug to ignite the fuel but after the tube is pulled out of the inlet, its running on its own no outside air or spark
