Look, I don't know where you from, but trust me, it's legal, here it is.I
don't know for you and your country.


Wow, Anton. I'm impressed! You were a lot more polite than most people would
be after receiving such a snotty, rude reply.

Good luck in your project.

If you think my reply was snotty and rude you've led
a very sheltered life.

I can only hope that it continues. No one with whom I associate would ever
be that nasty without direct provocation.

Did someone from Croatia **** in your cornflakes?

Lets see I gave him pointers to people who had built
such a machine, advice on a method of coupling the
drive and made the suggestion that using such a machine
for street racing may be illegal, as it would be in the UK.

So what assistance did you provide oh magnanimous one ?

Hello

I know this is not exactly what you guys are up to, but you might find it
interesting anyway.
http://www.junkyardjet.com/

There are many sites like this. Guys build jet engines out of automotive
turbochargers, usually with something like an old fire extinguisher for the
expansion chamber, and the burner assembly form a household heating oil
furnace to supply the fuel feed and ignition. Lots of them actually working.

pulsejet powered cruise missile with parts from hardware stores etc.
Main site: http://www.aardvark.co.nz/pjet/

Well... I don't know what kind of people are here, but on croatian
usenet, I had many flames with very juicy swearwords
People often do know send rude reply's, before that made me angry, but
nowadays, I became numb for that.It isn't worth of making myself nervous...

Good luck in your project.


Thanks!Do you have some of your own experience?At least with car turbo's?
