Anyone try a turbine in their DAK yet? Think of a hybrid truck,
uses a turbine to spin a generator, to charge only a few batteries,
which drive the wheels. Set battery size so range = 10 miles w/o turbine.
This lets you silently roll down the street till spank time!

[[ Engine starting procedure:
1) Start oil pump and confirm 45 psig system pressure.
2) Start fuel pump and confirm 100 psig system pressure.
3) Insert blower into inlet and allow turbine to accelerate.
(about 1 minute).
4) Open combustor drain to purge any residual fuel in combustion
chamber (usually none).
5) Turn ignitor on. Allow engine to accelerate until no further
acceleration can be achieved with the leaf blower.
6) Open propane valve to pre ignite cold engine. Listen for ignition.
7) Turn fuel idle valve on. (25 pounds nozzle pressure). Confirm Jet-A
ignition. DO NOT remove the blower yet.
8) Close propane valve. If the turbine outlet temp exceeds 1100 deg
shut fuel off immediately.
9) Allow engine to accelerate until it tries to pull the leaf blower
into the engine compressor.
10) Remove blower from inlet. Turn ignitor off.
11) Allow engine to accelerate to idle speed. (approx. 25,000 RPM)
12) Open throttle to 80-100 psig for full power.
13) The engine can be accelerated and reduced to and idle with the
fuel control. Combustion temp should be around 850 - 875 Deg. F. ]]
Ahhh, it must scream sweetly!
