ya who needs pistons or anything, just make the first pressure driven car. :lol:

SMOKEYDUB · « **Reply #7 on:** September 22, 2006, 08:23:32 pm »

well it would definetly quickly evacuate any piston or other internal parts out the oil pan maybe have a big air duct off the oil pan pointing towards the rear of the car so you can be propelled by the pressure.

that would be sweet!!

Actually today in class i was talking with a buddy about alternative fuel. And since we are learning microwave systems right now i came up with the bright idea of using microwaves to heat up water to produce steam for power. But then you'd want batteries, and you charge those you'll need a little generator, so by the end we had a gas driven, battery powered, microwave driven steam car. I call it the "Uberhybrid"

howzabout a helicopter turbine engine? they usually start around 400 hp and take up roughly the same space as your transmission. They'll run quite happily on diesel, and i suppose you could call it a turbo... Anyone want to race my TURBO DIESEL?? HEH HEH HEH.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

that sounds like some of the thinking i do lol. starts off with something real simple and all of a sudden its some crazy fire breathing burnout machine (or not) you get the point.

lol. I just wanna be able to rip the doors off of some more "powerful" cars.

My vote is for a P&W turboshaft engine from the dash 8, 2000+ shaft hp, even with the reduction box it's no larger than a chevy V8. The 10" exhaust pipe might be a problem though, passenger seat would have to go...

or make a gokart using a smart cars turbo diesel engine, haha theres you gas price beater!

mmmm, turbine powered. listen to the sound of it spooling up as the traffic light changes, picture the shimmers of heat in the mirror from the 10" exhaust. The only soot behind you is from the melting plastic grill on the car behind. The guys on Harleys two lanes over have their hands over their ears. The blown Camaro in the next lane launches hard and pulls away, 2 seconds later all he can remember is the flicker of blue in the exhaust and the wall of heat and sound going past. :twisted:

Jay Leno's column on Popularmechanics.com has an article about a turbine powered bike he has. evidently he did melt some guys bumper that was crowding him at a light!
