Custom Turbo Manufacturer

Another consideration.....what about intercooling? The power gains from charging could possibly be neutralised by the weight gains of a charger and intercooler?

[CliveH]

Basically, I am crazy!!

I think your opening statement was the most relevant to this whole thread...

[S4TAN]

I've got a mountain bike and was thinking of attaching a Saturn V main rocket engine to it (got a spare in the garage after NASA stopped going to the moon).... anyone know how to do this?

[derdle]

S4TAN...were you thinking of just one main rocket engine or all five - personally I think 3 will be sufficient, and easier, to attach rather than the full 5, and it will leave you with 2 spares. Trigger happy cops may knock on your door when you start ordering the fuel though.

[CliveH]

I'm surprised BenH (yes another Harper) hasn't chipped in yet - he was recently looking at plans for making a rocket engine...said he just needed a turbo to complete the kit - I'd better check the garage to make sure those K03s are still in the box...

The youth of today...I don't know...where do they get these crazy ideas from...???!

[Harper--D]

Speaking of your rocket powered bike, i did have an engine a little while back that was ready to be fitted to a bike!! No serious now, if anyone could provide me with info it would be much apreciated!

[S4TAN]

I've got a skateboard and was thinking of attaching a 10 megaton nuclear warhead to it (also in my garage - left over from the cold war) ... anyone know how to do this ...?

[CliveH]

Now you're just getting silly Jules...

(oh, and your current sig could be offensive to some poor little bear )

Yes, and what did MrsH have to say about that...??

[S4TAN]

Who me? Well really! If that's your attitude Clive then I won't tell you about my plans for harnessing the power of a black hole and attaching it to a rollerskate ....

..sorry, been there, done that, got the tee shirt.

Right then! I'm just going to have to shove as many fireworks up my arse as possible and see what happens when I light the fuses ... so there! Beat that!

i have plans to harness the power from the Big Bang. i reckon the shockwave from it will have reached the end of the universe by now and will soon be reflected back towards earth. Obviously i've taken into account the disipation of energy due to the length of the journey and time involved but i still beleive there will be ample remaining to provide sustainable energy for my Kenwood Magimix

and as for rocket engines..........

Dave what have you been sniffing this week!?

Not rocket engine Clive, but a turbo-jet engine. No point in those KO3's going to waste, only need the one anyway.
