Thank you for this upload, I was always wondering what that sound was that sounded like a high-pitched engine starting before any engines actually started whenever I boarded a plane.

I want one of those as a main engine for some puny car like, say a fiat 126 and then race it against some piston-engined supercar....I think the puny car wins... :D

I've got one of those!
Watch the starting temperature! The generator is quite stiff and loads the engine causing slow acceleration. Do not remove it there is no bearing support in the gearbox drive coupling. Mans best friend the Rover GT.
