oooh.... when I read "jet" it gave me chills Sounds very interesting... I would love to hear about that when you start

Hehehe, no it would not be going into the X if that was what you were hoping for. Actually I have no real purpose for doing it other than I just want to build a jet engine. It will likely not go into anything else besides a solid mount for testing purposes.

LOL... I didn't think it was going in the X.

Yeah I just mean the simple fact of learning a jet engine would be awesome. You know you could also buy a jet engine for like a remote airplane as a starter...

I have even seen a kart with a jet engine.

Where is the fun in letting someone else design the thing?




Or did you mean as a starter to get the jet turbine up to self sustaining speed? In that case I will use either an air compressor or even an electric leaf blower. Both will give me the pressure I will need to start it.

I meant for dissecting reasons to better understand it ... but it sounds like you have that covered.. lol

Oh no....I understand them pretty well now. Very interesting devices! I am looking forward to when I will actually have the time to do this project and the GixxerKart. That will mean that I am more or less somewhat done with the X and LS.

 

[awdrocks]
