In this episode I start up and try to drive a few meters on my modified from jet to turboshaft powered BMW. Car has become 250 kg lighter and was equipped with turbostarter motor TS-21 from MIG-23 helicopter, attached to standart BMW gearbox. This gasturbine engine is not so powerfull (50-60 horsepower) but its torque is awailable from low RPM. While turbine is spinning at 17000 RPM shaft is spinning at 1200 RPM providing 400 Nm of torque. Maximum spinning speed is 50 000 RPM! This is what specification says so its is red zone RPM. I belive we'll exceed it=)
