Very cool, haven't seen a vid of one running before, sound very cool. There was an ex-jeweller over in OZ a number of years (like 15) making the same thing, but I don't remember his hacing blowers.

Ah I remember seeing these in an RC car mag probably 10 years ago! Will have to watch those vids, always wondered what they were like!
