Small turbines for homebuilts?

There 30lb thrust model specs at 5.5 gal/hour (350ml/min) which isn't
horrible for a jet. At speed 30lb is roughly 30hp so it takes 3.3 times
to get 100hp so 18 gal/hour which is about 3 times more fuel than a ricip
but it sure could be a lot of fun ;-)

If I recall correctly, one pound of thrust = one HP at around 325 knots.
That's quite a bit of 'at speed'.

That sounds about right, I didn't have the figures in front of me. Even so
if you slowed it down to 150-200 you'd still have a fairly potent engine
for the weight. And it still would be a blast!
