Up for auction and currently at £500 is a Rolls Royce Gem jet engine, as fitted to the Lynx helicopter. Fit it into a mini and you've got a project to rival ProjectBinky.
Good luck getting that under the bonnet of a standard MiniFit it into a mini and you've got a project to rival ProjectBinky.
Some interior designer in London will snap up the practice bomb and turn it into lamp, drinks cabinet or cot
That would be worth doing just to annoy Londoners, imagine driving that around Westminster... mu-ha-ha-har !Not sure that would be suitable for a car. its a shaft turbine so it is designed to produce torque on the shaft and not thrust out the bung hole. So you'll use the torque to drive something. possible an generator and then through a controller to electric motors, making a hybrid and therefore an electric vehicle and tax exempt? hmmmmmmmm?
