Home Made Twin Shaft Gas Turbine,Panama City Fl .that was built By David Steele. The Turbine Engine is built out of a John Deer Turbo Charge and a old F4 Jet Fighters starter motor as the free power unit. There is a oil pump,oil cooler and 1 gallon oil tank. It runs on propane with a ball valve for throttling. I have a power window motor with a set of GM point mounted to it to fire a coil then a spark plug used only for start up at 33000 RPMs coil is shut off, Max RPM is 128000 idles at 30000 RPMs. It is installed in a Home Made Go Kart.
