I recently purchased this turbine and Don't actually have it yet but here are the photos. He said it was tied to a generator for the military. I would like to see if it could be run but looking for help from this site. I dont have the numbers on it yet either but will post when i get them. Has anyone ever seen one like this? or know anymore about it then i do? Thanks for any help. Elroy

Hi Elroy
Thats one strange looking bit of equipment you've got there , it appears to only have a "cold side" .
Will wait for more pics before trying to comment further
Cheers John

Yep, That's an interesting one.
Looks Air-craft.... Military? Only has cold section. Seems to have oil cooler centre gearbox Electrical box looks ground based with 240v? and Milspec connector may not be associated?
Ok my guess is a huffer attachment for a IC engine to start a turbine?
Anyone else???

Just going through my collection of old aircraft stuff and found this. It is what I was told a "Air Bleed Apu" from possibly a B52. It uses compressor bleed air to run various pumps and generators etc. Seems to a have a similar oil fed intake ?? Not sure if this is any help? Cheers Ian...

Hi Ian
Yep , that big gear and roller bearing on the opposite side certainly don't look "turbo/turbine"
Cheers John
