1500hp Go-Kart.
My bad, your right I just looked it up they have a top speed of 42mph. Huh, I thought they were faster than that. I used to be in the Marine Corps but I wasn't a tank guy. I remember we used to be patrolling along the rode at night and if they drove up behind you, you couldn't even here them until they got infront of you, then it was real loud. The exhaust is in the back and that turbine engine is loud.

It's a hydrogen-peroxide gas turbine .. the "engine" of this thing spins up to 85k rpm and turns the wheels through a planetary reduction gear similar to what you'd find on a tracked crawling vehicle (i.e. excavator). Reduces the wheel speed to 4500rpm I believe the page said? But then, it also said that the speed of the wheels was 7000 rpm .. which is it?
how did u get the video to work??? it doesnt work for anyone else.

ya man you can make a gas turbine from a turbo charger and some hardware stuff i made one with my science teacher and it is so dangerous after those few scares that we had with fuel biulding up and not igniting then blowing up i dont think i ever want to get near one. turbo chargers were not ment to do 75k
