This is a video of my bud Dave Rosenlund driving my gas turbine powered gokart. The engine gas producer uses a VT-50 turbocharger coupled to a JFS-100-13a power turbine assembly. The output shaft is run 2.6:1 via chain drive to a jackshaft driving 2 coupled centrifugel clutches which in turn drives the live axle at 6:1 (low speed gear) :). If there is interest shown in this video I have other (night time runs) video showing higher speed runs. Feedback or questions are welcome. Thanks for watching! Bryan Midgley

i'm sure they. do. and they don't care. i sound off a storm alert 1001 and nothing happens. i don't think this would do anything either. P.S. i was one of the random people to show up and see the beast.
Dude. sweet. that was awsome. i am happy i got to stop by and see it. that was just crazy dude. from scrap parts none-the-less. hope to see ya agian soon. :)
That is awesome. A mate and I are going to build turbine powered vehicles, and have yet to decide on whether we'll connect the power turbine like you have, or use the power turbine to spin alternators, and use large brushless motors to propel our karts. Like others have said, would love to see a vid of it during the day so we can see how your machine went together.
Man I'l tell ya you guys did a HELL OF A JOB!! That thing is AWESOME I want one that must hae taken many hours in the shop. Great video do one in the day light so We can see the turbine and all the parts! AWESOME!!!
