The 6.7 just wasn't enough for my taste, so I bumped it a little with the addition of the rather compact LM5000. I think with this power boost I will be able to hit those speeds I want to achieve on the highway. The only down side I am really seeing is the 35 gallons per min fuel economy may limit my range. I won't let that hold me back though since I plan on turning the entire bed into a fuel tank so I can get to work.

So, are you going to put a tuner on that thing, and smog out all the prius's on the road ?

At 35 gallons per minute, I'm thinking you'll still be getting pretty good mileage.

GE sucks. And as A Solar Turbines employee my opinion is completely unbiased

Where do you find such awesomeness? Where would one source a small turbine that could possibly be actually utilized?

Also, SHENANIGANS!
The LM5000 produces 34,451 kW which goggle says is only 46,199.552 hp. |

I hope you are building one helluva 1:1 F-16 R/C plane out of that!

With that much power, the 35 gallons per minute might tranlate into a fairly decent MPG
|
|
So... what exactly are you going to do with that gigantic turbine?
|

My wife would be like: "You're not bringing that thing in the house!"

LM5000 -- is that a J79 with a power turbine instead of an afterburner?
Actually, it looks bigger than a J79 -- what IS it? |

Is this part of some diabolical scheme to make Barbara Boxer less of a bitch by finally inventing a vibrator powerful enough for her?
